Orientale州でエボラウイルスの疑似患者検知

ジーン=マークMadindi(コンゴ東部の州の医学検査官)は2012年8月12日日曜日
コンゴ民主共和国北東のOrientale省Isiro (オー ・ウェレ川の地区の主要な町)で合計5人の、エボラ出血熱の疑わしい患者が見つかったと発表しました

「死者が相次いだもう一つのケースは、ドング(社会的地位の高いウェレ地区の6つのエリアのうちの1つ)で発生した」
「私たちは、ウィルスの分析結果を待っています」とMadindi氏は語り
すべてのケースがドングとIsiroで緊密にモニターされていると付け加えましたが、詳細は述べませんでした

エボラ出血熱(VHF)の発生はこの7月に、ウガンダのカンパラから200kmで起きました。
そして、20の確立されたケースに関して14人が死亡しました

コンゴの東部州とウガンダ東部、2国間の激しい交通量との近接性を考え、人道的見地から、コンゴ政府は、この流行に対処するための予防措置をとりました。

Suspected cases of Ebola virus detected in Orientale Province


----------------------------------------------------------


A total of 5 suspected cases of Ebola haemorrhagic fever have been
detected in Isiro, chief town of the district of Haut Uele, Orientale
Province (north eastern Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC)], said
Jean-Marc Madindi, provincial medical inspector of the Eastern Province,
on Sun 12 Aug 2012. "Another case where death ensued, was notified in
Dungu, one of 6 areas that make up the district of Haut Uele. We are
waiting for test results to diagnose the virus," said Mr Madindi,
adding that all cases are closely monitored in Dungu and Isiro,
without giving further details.



An outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever (VHF) has emerged since
last July [2012], 200 km [124 miles] from Kampala in Uganda, killing
14 people on 20 confirmed cases. Given the proximity between the
Eastern Province and the eastern part of Uganda, and the intense
traffic between the 2 countries, humanitarian actors [doctors?] in
DRC have taken preventive measures to deal with this epidemic.



Haemorrhagic fever, against which there is no treatment or vaccine,
kills between 50 and 90 per cent of sufferers. It is also highly
contagious by direct contact with blood, bodily fluids, or when
handling contaminated corpses carelessly. In the DRC, Ebola
haemorrhagic fever occurred previously in Equateur province in
1976-1977 (north west), in Bandundu province (south west) in 1995,
in the Eastern Province in 1999 and 2000, and in Kasai Occidental
(center) in 2007 and 2008.

[This Orientale province of the Democratic Republic of Congo is
adjacent to the region of Uganda currently experiencing an outbreak
of Ebola haemorrhagic fever. It is tempting to infer that the 2
outbreaks are related. The Ugandan outbreak has been caused by
Sudan ebolavirus. Confirmation and identification of the virus
responsible for the DRC outbreak are awaited.
