Contradictory information
editSo how many fatalities were there? The header section says none, the aftermath section says three. Alan LeHun (talk) 18:13, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- The claim of three fatalities was a recent unexplained and unsourced change to the article, so I have reverted it. Thanks for pointing this out. --Deskford (talk) 23:09, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- A BMJ article give the following information which is quoted for clarity: "There were 507 cases, derived from 309 households in the city and 33 in the surrounding districts, with three deaths. All but four patients were treated in hospital; the diagnosis was confirmed bacteriologically in 403 and clinically in 66; in the remaining 38 typhoid was not confirmed." https://www.bmj.com/content/2/5514/601.full.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.237.97 (talk) 18:04, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Closure of Fray Bentos
editI removed the statement that the incident led to the eventual closure of Fray Bentos, this is patently untrue as the Fray Bentos(food brand) continues to this day.Stub Mandrel (talk) 10:21, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
