Ottawa, September 11 2014.- A total of eight people have died in 72 hours in the city of Maracay by a disease that has not yet been diagnosed, according to reporters Notitarde President of the Medical Association of Aragua state, angel Sarmientos.

The doctor indicated that the 8 deaths, 4 were adults and 4 other infants between one and two years old. Sarmientos explained that until Thursday did not know the reason for the deaths, as they expect from Caracas to send the results of the examinations for those affected.

He specified that six of the patients were admitted to the Central Hospital of Maracay and two Social Security from San José with fever, malaise, skin blisters and bleeding generalized (nose and ears) that ended with a general failure of vital organs.

Centralism delayed delivery of results

Sarmientos regretted that one of the main problems is that "everything is centralized" and expect results to perform accurate diagnosis and determine whether it is a viral or bacterial disease.

For his part, denied that they have been contaminated in the Central Hospital. The patients came from distant locations, some of Mariara, Victory and other unrelated between them.

Finally, Sarmientos appealed to the general public not to approach the Central Hospital of Maracay, unless strictly necessary as it is a deadly disease.

In social networks and chains and alarming messages circulating about the possible cause of the disease, however, can not properly diagnose until it delivered the results.http://www.notitarde.com/Regiones/Ma...4/09/11/352554
