Refugees have brought the potentially fatal and highly-contagious bacterial infection diphtheria into Denmark and authorities are warning hospitals there could be an outbreak.

Two Libyan refugees were found to have the infection, the Danish State Serum Institute (SSI) said on Tuesday.

Diphtheria - spread through coughs and sneezes, or contact with someone with the infection or their belongings - has not been seen in the country since 1998.

'The infection [diphtheria] can be very dangerous if one isn’t vaccinated against it,' Kurt Fuursted, spokesperson for the SSI told Danish newspaper Metroxpress.

'There is no doubt that infectious diseases are coming in with the refugees that we aren’t used to. There have been discussions on whether all refugees who come to Denmark should be screened.' The newspaper also reported that other refugees had been found suffering from tuberculosis and malaria.

Danes are just going to accept that immigrants have highly contagious diseases.

I believe the Danes are a little more sane than the rest of EUrope. Serious controls on "refugees" may begin here.

Doubtful. Savage murdering ISIS primised an invasion of Europe.
Who would have dreamed that the invaders were invited to come and be welcomed with open arms?

Been to Denmark a few times and dated a Danish woman. Love the country and the people there. Probably the best people you can meet in all of Europe.

I got frikkin’ Pertussis a couple of summers ago. Worst crap ever. Coughing so hard I gagged for three months and still have tracheal damage. Damn them all to hell for allowing diseases into the country.

Which brings us to the immigrants coming to America.

Anyone coming in should be vaccinated, and/or given a physical....

My gosh we have to vaccinate all our children, but the get to waltz right in with no medical screening???

Taking in strays without getting their shots is not smart.

Throw in a neuter while your at the doc’s.

I got it last spring from my sister. She’s a doc who works with the homeless. Started seeing some of our little guests from south of the border and bang. Most of the older staff got it.
