Pneumonia cases, including three deaths, with no clear cause under investigation in Argentina


Three people have died and several others in Argentina have become sick after developing pneumonia with no clear cause, the World Health Organization said Friday.

Cases in eight health care workers and one other patient are linked to a private clinic in San Miguel de Tucumán, WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said in an email to CNN.
A 10th case, which is linked to the cluster, involves an 81-year-old man with underlying health problems who is hospitalized in serious condition and is on a ventilator, the Tucumán Ministry of Health reported Friday.
