Dirty shower water from the flat above leaked into my bedroom 2 days ago. the carpets are dry again but is there any risk of catching anything nasty?

Probably not: If aired out, plenty of sunlight on the areas that got wet, and everything now dry, should be ok. Could also treat with antiseptic rug treatment if needed. Sorry about this for you. Very inconvenient I am sure. Dr R
