Britain about post -mortem warning caused by mysterious disease in Congo


Britain warns because the number of people killed in mysterious disease in the Congo Democratic Republic (DRC) is still increasing.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said that after confirming the number of cases has increased from 419 to 1096 and the number of mortality increased from 53 to 60.

“UKHSA is aware of the prevalence of the disease in the DRC, and we monitor the situation with international partners,” said Dr. Catherine Russell, an epidemiologist at the British Health Agency.

Since the beginning of the year, cases of anonymous diseases that are still unknown in the northwestern regions of Congo are growing in the Basanuku and Bulba regions, about 180 kilometers apart.

Symptoms include fever, headache, chills, sweating, stiff neck, muscle pain, joint pain and body pain, nasal bleeding or runny nose, cough, vomiting and diarrhea. Mortality occurs within two days of symptoms.

Early tests for the Ebola and Marbo Virus viruses have been negative, and those who have said that almost half of the tests so far have been positive for malaria, which is common in the area.

“Further tests for meningitis are performed. Dietary, water and environmental samples are also analyzed to determine if contamination may be present.”

WHO has also sent a quick response team to the area to examine the situation and provide additional treatment for diseases such as malaria, typhoid and meningitis.

Dr. Zania Stamataki, Associate Professor of Viral Safety, Birmingham University, said: “The British should stay” vigilance “because viral infections can stay in the days before they start displaying dormant symptoms, meaning that people can travel with others and stimulate the transmission while not feeling ill.

“The infections do not know any boundaries and do not respect the country’s lines. People travel and travel with them, or riding in an animal or carrier of animals, so it cannot be eliminated outside the borders of a country.”

“In the UK and other countries, we need to be alert and watch out for the symptoms. Symptoms of a bleeding fever must be reported to the British Health Security Agency through a physician registered,” he said.

“This outbreak, as well as the previous prevalence in the DRC, is important to other parts of the world and we need to have close eyes and help diagnose and treat,” he said.

Someone who had previously said that the outbreak began after three children in Boloco and died within 48 hours after the symptoms of bleeding fever.

While it is still unclear whether the prevalence of the virus was related to the bat, Dr. Stamataki said bats carry many viruses that could be severe in humans.

“If this infection is caused by the virus caused by a bat, this tells us that we are unlikely to have this new infection for humans before, so we are not protected, severe illness and even death,” said Dr. Estamataki.

Dr. Amanda Rougek, a senior clinical colleague, the Institute of Science, the University of Oxford, said it could be conditions where several common diseases were involved in cases and assured that the Ebola and Marbog deadly viruses have been negative so far.

“Research is now underway to investigate the cause of the disease – which can include infectious diseases or diseases caused by exposure to toxic or contaminated substances,” he said.

“The research team is the prevalence of the outbreak of bats’ reports by children who later died of their illness because it increases the likelihood of a zonotic disease – a disease that spreads from animals to humans. However, rumors are often prevalent in the early prevalence, so this information is important,” he said.

Dr. Rujak said supporting local health care and scientific research is very important for managing and understanding the prevalence.
