suspicious case
Consulted authorities of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS) on whether the death of the child due to dengue hemorrhagic fever is confirmed, they explained that the case is suspicious, since the tests are being carried out at the National Health Laboratory and the results are not yet available.
What they ruled out is that there is a red alert in Villa Nueva due to the outbreak of dengue hemorrhagic fever, instead, they announced that the red alert is institutional for the entire health system of the country, but they declared it due to the El Niño Phenomenon and not for this particular case.
The MSPAS sources recommended taking the necessary preventive measures, especially the “scrap”to prevent the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the disease through its bite.
In addition, they asked the population that, if any member of the family presents symptoms of fever, vomiting and abdominal pain for more than three days, it is urgent that they be taken to any health service, be it a post or health center, or to the nearest hospital.
