UKHSA are providing an update to previous advice regarding contaminated non-sterile alcohol-free wipes in response to continuing detection of cases and a recent death attributable to Burkholderia stabilis infection.

This represents an ongoing public health concern as these contaminated wipes continue to pose a serious risk to patients, particularly those who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions. The detection of additional cases and a recent fatality demonstrates the severity of this contamination issue.

Healthcare facilities and individuals are strongly advised to review their supplies and ensure they are not using the affected wipe products.
