Kinshasa, 9.11 (ACP) .-
Congolese Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi, welcomed the decision by
the World Health Organization (WHO) to authorize the use of "convalescent serum"
for the treatment against the Ebola outbreak, as was the case in 1995
in the DRC where the treatment had helped treat patients with this
disease. This decision was taken at a meeting on vaccination and drugs against Ebola in Geneva earlier this month.
"We have reached a consensus,"
said media Marie-Paule Kieny, Assistant to the Director General of WHO,
after a two-day meeting in Geneva with more than 200 experts. "In 1995 Professor Muyembe even documented and it has been published. 8 people were treated with convalescent sera. We healed 7 of 8,
"the Congolese minister, adding that two weeks ago, the Congolese
authorities and scientists had already decided to use this treatment if
the treatment rate was $ Djera, where a declared the Ebola outbreak.
The idea of these convalescent sera is to collect blood from people
affected by a disease and people who have managed to heal. This serum is then transfused the sick.
By fighting against the disease, some experts argue, the body of
patients who have recovered necessarily produces antibodies, and they
can help in the fight against the virus affecting the patient ACP https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Facpcongo.com%2Facp%2F%3Fp%3D8065&edit-text=
