Published August 22, 2014
Alarming news of a disease of unknown origin that saddens populations sector Djera located near Boende in Equateur province. Unfortunate occurrence that coincides with the onset of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in some countries in West Africa accompanied already a thousand deaths. However, WHO called, subject to the results of analysis of samples to laboratories, not to jump to conclusions. Insufficient to prevent psychosis!
An unknown and mysterious disease has killed 70 people, according to the British news agency Reuters, citing a source from the World Health Organization, WHO. However, the symptoms of this disease have plunged the entire Congolese population in psychosis. According to villagers joined by our Editor, this goes back to last July.
According to the UN radio Okapi, "health sources on the ground say they have been alerted since July on a contagious disease that affects three areas of health Wetsikengo, Lokalia and Wafanya in Boende territory. The disease is characterized by severe diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. "
But this description is far from calming the mind to face its similarity to the symptoms of Ebola virus. Governorate of Ecuador, is not alarmed either. Reached by telephone, Michel Wangi, coordinator of the communication unit of the interim governor says: "Indeed, a disease spread Boende, but we do not know its origin. The government has sent a team of experts INRB (National Institute for Biomedical Research) since Wednesday Boende led by the Minister of Public Health Felix Kabange Numbi and Acting Governor Sebastian Impeto. "
In addition to the Congolese, the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders are also associated with Sanito-humanitarian shipment. The team would have benefited from the help of the presidential plane to make an emergency move Boende. One way to prove to the whole world and the Congolese opinion that the case is supported at the highest levels of the Republic.
At this stage, the assessment given by divergent source. Radio Okapi put the figure at 65 dead. A WHO source who had entrusted Reuters reported 70 dead. Unauthorized sources are more alarming state by about two hundred dead. Already, a lady doctor by profession, and three nurses who had taken care of the patients affected by this epidemic came from nowhere, died. This indicates that the disease is very contagious.
According to a nun, "and bloody diarrheal diseases are common in this part of Ecuador." This seems to confirm Michel Wangi governorate of Ecuador: "At this stage, here in the governorate of Ecuador, we can not determine the nature of the disease. It is expected that the Minister of Public Health and the acting governor and the experts make their conclusions. "
Until then, according to our sources, there is way to contain the spread of this epidemic solely localities Lokolia Moke, Lokolia-center Etuku, Iyolongo and Mpumu-Ntoma.
Meanwhile, the government is working overtime. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Matata Ponyo, the National Executive meets regularly crisis on the issue. Confidentially, we are assured the prime minister, for greater efficiency.
Samples from
At this point, no one gives the exact nature of the disease. Radio Okapi notes that "teams of WHO and the health zone Boende, rushed to the scene, took samples which are being analyzed at the National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB) in Kinshasa." On its website, the UN radio continues: "Pending the results of the examinations, the Minister Felix Kabange Numbi has pledged to send another team of doctors in the health area Djera, about twenty kilometers from Boende. This mission will still resample that will, from this weekend, to have more details on this disease. "
The mission of the Minister Felix Kabange Numbi has not had an easy time following the isolation of the country. She sometimes resorted to 4X4 vehicles, motorcycles and sometimes worse, some sections were made on foot. This increase sawtooth favored a possible spread of the mysterious disease. Yet shipping Kabange Numbi was obliged to limit the displacement of people to get all the certainty of eradication of the epidemic.
For its part, the government spokesman, Lambert Mende, wants, too, reassuring on the subject: "The Minister of Public Health which will provide the communication. However, remember that this is the routine for the Department of Health with the alert system put in place. There is even the fourth turn. The health minister wants to get to the bottom heart by sending samples to laboratories in Atlanta and France. "
These words can calm the psychosis that seems to settle into the Congolese perniciously opinion. Until then, Ebola is not reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to official sources. http://www.lepotentielonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10015:maladie-inconnue-a-l-equateur-la-psychose-s-amplifie&catid=85:a-la-une&Itemid=472
