A total of 8 deaths, 1 hospitalized person, and 2 recovered persons are reported. State authorities specified that no new cases have been detected after the closure of the establishment where the intravenous solutions were applied. "The medications and solutions found in the office are still under analysis," the department reported. In parallel, the Sonora Attorney General's Office confirmed that the case is being investigated as negligent homicide derived from alleged medical malpractice. "11 suspicious cases have been registered... of the total, 8 deaths, 1 hospitalized person, and 2 recovered persons are reported," the department detailed. As of 11:00 AM on April 7, 2026, 11 suspicious cases associated with the application of intravenous solutions by the same treating physician have been registered. The number of deaths linked to the use of vitamin drips in Hermosillo, Sonora, has increased in recent hours, intensifying the concern of health and justice authorities. While investigations continue to determine the exact cause of the outbreak and thus establish responsibilities, official reports confirm a more severe scenario than initially reported. Prosecutor Gustavo Rómulo Salas Chávez stated at a press conference that there is already a judicial order against the probable responsible party. According to the investigations, the physician was the one who prescribed, prepared, and administered the drips. The Prosecutor's Office has carried out more than 100 investigative acts and maintains operations for his location, including alerts at the national level and in the United States. Likewise, national and international alerts have been issued for the search for the presumed responsible party. Deaths in Sonora rise to eight. The federal Secretary of Health, David Kershenobich, had previously informed in the morning conference that the outbreak was associated with a possible bacterial contamination, by pointing out that the patients presented "very high white blood cell counts and intravascular coagulation", indicators related to severe infections. However, the Sonora Secretariat of Health updated the number of victims this Tuesday afternoon, April 7.
