Seventh case in E.coli O157 probe
A seventh case of E.coli O157 linked to an Aberdeen hotel has been confirmed by health officials.
The further person, a female, was revealed following test results returned to the NHS Grampian Outbreak Control Team.
They had all eaten at the four-star Atholl Hotel.
Three women in hospital, all over 65, remain in a satisfactory condition and none of the seven were giving any cause for immediate concern.
The investigation into the source is continuing.
