KPC? It sounds like the problem is in the hospital itself, but there is no mention of HCW affected. If the reporting is incorrect and this is actually being acquired in the community, perhaps test for dengue and leptospirosis?

Eight dead in 10 days let a strange disease that alerted Venezuela


Deaths occur in just 72 hours and you threw that balance concern. Maduro's government downplayed the problem, saying it is a "campaign of misinformation and terrorism"

"We do not know what it is," admitted Douglas León Natera, president of the Venezuelan Medical Federation. "There is a full alarm in Aragua state because there is absolute silence from the health authorities of the state, I understand that know absolutely nothing, because people who are in charge of these offices are not doctors and do not know public health or epidemiology, "he said in comments reported by El Nuevo Herald.

Venezuelan doctors launched Thursday a wake-up call after the appearance of a mysterious disease that kills within 72 hours and that the hospitals in the country do not know how to deal.

The warning was minimized by Chavez

However, the warning was minimized by government spokespersons Nicolas Maduro, who qualified to the alarm of doctors as a "campaign of disinformation and terrorism", even when the disease in 10 days left a toll of eight dead in the central state Aragua.

The same paper adds that, despite official indifference, the country's doctors said there is reason for concern against a contagious and highly dangerous disease of unknown origin.

Meanwhile, the governor of Aragua, the official Tarek El Aissami said it is false that there is an "alleged bacteria in the Central Hospital of Maracay." In his Twitter account,TareckPSUV, reported that "have unleashed chains msm and digital networks on alleged bacteria in the Central Hospital of Maracay. Totally false."

In another development, President of the Medical Association of Aragua state, Angel Sarmiento said the fact that doctors are unable to treat the condition generates "great concern".

"We do not know if it is being produced by a bacterium, we do not know if it's a virus. Meningococcemia was discarded. Was being tested discard staph and all, but unfortunately has not been given the diagnosis," said the doctor from Maracay.

"The only thing common is the way the disease presents"

"The only thing common is the way the disease occurs," he said in a telephone interview.

The eight victims, from different points of Aragua, were transferred to the state capital, Ottawa, with symptoms including malaise, fever, skin spots and "bubbles" in the mouth.

Those spots, then became blisters and soon patients began presenting internal and external bleeding. "After the bleeding starts, is respiratory failure, liver failure, kidney failure and death within 72 hours," he said Sarmiento.

Julio Castro, an infectious disease physician, urged the Government to give accurate information about the eight deaths that occurred in the Central Hospital of Maracay by illnesses that are yet to be determined.

In an interview on Onda The Superstation, professor and researcher at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Central University of Venezuela criticized the governor of Aragua state, Tarek El Aissami, deny that there is an irregular situation.

"In terms of managing the media, you can not say that nothing happens, because we know that is not so. That makes people fret. We must say the truth: 'We do not know what's going on, but we will investigate, "he said.

He said that in this research the first thing to be determined "is if an outbreak is an abnormal situation that has a common source or whether it is a matter of chance, which sometimes happens."

Patients with the disease, which until now called acute febrile hemorrhagic syndrome, showed spots on the body, high fever and massive bleeding that caused their deaths, in a span of 72 hours.

"When you have a virus, bacteria and even parasites can be severe enough to attack your clotting. You can even mourn blood. Such bleeding box you are generally the end of serious illnesses, and some resemble other, "he added.

He stressed the need for the political entity and the physician work together to reassure people: "You have to say what we are sure is not, and is not Ebola. It is extremely unlikely. Must be an outbreak of some more or less known disease. Do not think it's a situation that gets out of hand. "
