Dysentry has hit 332 people – most of them children – in Russia's southern Stavropol region. Low-quality milk products supplied for nursery schools are being blamed for the poisoning.
Twenty-four children are still in hospital.
The Federal Consumer Protection watchdog says the number of people infected may increase but not dramatically.
