uLOS ANGELES (AP) – A Los Angeles police officer is being treated for typhoid fever and another employee is suffering from symptoms similar to typhus.
The LAPD reported Wednesday on diseases involving employees from its central division office. It is unclear how the officer caught the bacterial disease, which can be transmitted through contaminated food or drink or through contact with a carrier.
Police said that a specific diagnosis for the other employee with symptoms similar to those of typhus had not yet been determined. The LAPD says it is striving to disinfect all potentially exposed work areas.
The office was also fumigated earlier this year while downtown was plagued by an epidemic of typhus that, unlike typhoid fever, can spread from infected fleas. Homeless people living near the town hall and a deputy prosecutor became ill.
Critics accuse the sordid homeless camps nearby.
