<section itemprop="articleBody" class="offset1 contenido"> The suspected presence of a case of Ebola in the Valencia forced to start the Monday night outside health protocol at La Fe Hospital in Valencia, where he remains admitted to an isolation area. The alert led to tight security, in addition to isolation, and referral to the Instituto Carlos III of patient samples for the presence of virus, as confirmed from Health.
Late yesterday the Department confirmed that it was waiting for the results that could confirm or rule in Valencia and therefore in Spain, the first case of Ebola disease is not transmitted by air, but by blood flow or saliva. It is a disease of high mortality whose last outbreak was recorded in spring in Guinea Conakry and Liberia, claiming the lives of 111 people.
<aside class="compApoyosText compNoticiasR">

• Mortality reaches 90% of cases

</aside> Late Monday he entered the health center patient-Guinea-origin man who had come to the Manises airport on a flight from Morocco. The traveler had symptoms that could respond to suffering from various diseases, including causing the Ebola virus.
<aside class="compSumario"> "Until security personnel wearing a mask" when the patient arrived in Fe </aside><aside class="compSumario"> The patient was driven from the airport to an isolation unit </aside> The situation forced the protocol enabled on the airfield itself. Thus, the transfer from Manises was performed with transportation provided for these cases. From the outset, the staff must carry out the transfer, as well as that attended his arrival at the hospital, took all possible measures to prevent infections, such as masks, gloves and clothing designed for situations like this.
The fate of the patient was Faith, only hospital able to handle cases that may be suspected of this disease. According able to know PROVINCES, when the protocols were written was determined that from any hospital in the Region which had "suspected, the patient should be referred to La Fe, since all schools may not have a drive features to address these cases. "

The sources pointed out that the patient entered the sanitary facilities for a different way to that usually follows for revenue. You will not be led by the ER entrance in order to provide maximum insulation. As confirmed by the health center for cases of suspected infectious disease like this, other than the patient for transfer to the unit in place hospitalization passage is provided. In this case you will be led to an isolation area, where he remained yesterday 'in stable condition', as I highlighted from La Fe
The adoption of protective measures for workers involved in the shipment generated concern and anxiety among staff who were citizens at the hospital, knowing that even 'security officers wearing masks. "
Those getting off the plane alerted symptoms sanitation pointed the possibility that the patient suffered various illnesses. The fact that one of them was launched Ebola battery of the above preventive measures for maximum isolation. But the bottom line was that patient samples were analyzed. Only then can determine the reality they will face health services in the coming days.
This had to submit samples to Carlos III Institute of Health, an agency of the Ministry of Health based Majadahonda. In this center laboratories had to analyze the samples sent from La Fe to confirm or exclude that the Guinea Manises traveler who reached late Monday suffered Ebola. The samples came from Valencia yesterday morning and throughout the day to the analysis, the result is unknown at press time were subjected.
All other travelers who shared the plane with Faith yesterday admitted they had not undergone analysis of disease detection, since you first have to determine if the hospital is infected, according to medical sources confirmed.
The virulence of Ebola took last April, before the confirmation of the last outbreak in Africa, the Ministry of Health to take steps to increase control of the disease. The ports of the three Valencian capital were warned that the boat captains must certify that those on board did not suffer any disease.http://translate.google.com/translat...5000155-v.html

Re: Ebola suspect in Spain

...While determining whether this really is the first case of Ebola detected in Spanish territory after the beginning of the epidemic has already caused 350 deaths in Africa, the patient, in his 50s, is admitted to an isolation room of the Hospital La Fe de Valencia, where access is prohibited. In fact, the only people who can access the interior of the room are the nurses and doctors after taking a number of precautions to prevent any transmission of the virus. The room has a door opening numeric code, to prevent a stranger can enter by mistake, and next to it is a container of disinfectant and boxes of latex gloves. To access the inside physicians should wash their hands before and after entering, and put on gloves, mask and goggles to prevent any virus out there, since the disease is highly contagious, the sources noted. For the same reason the cutlery used to feed the patient, which is stable, are disposable.
Within this prevention protocol also entered the patient through the loading dock and not the emergency room as would have been usual. During the transfer to the plant isolates watchers and guards had to use masks to avoid possible infection, although in principle the virus is transmitted only by direct contact with body fluids...http://translate.google.com/translat...m_medium%3Drss

Ebola in Spain News Spanish Healthcare & Medicine

NEWS: A man from Guinea Conakry is in isolation in the La Fe hostpital in Valencia, eastern Spain, with a suspected case of Ebola. There are contradictory stories about how it was discovered.

Regional health authorities in Valencia activated their infectious disease protocols on Monday night after the man, who is “resident in Europe” according to a Spanish Health Ministry spokeswoman, was admitted to hospital with Ebola-like symptoms.

Data from the Center for Disease Control in the United States shows this spring’s Ebola outbreak in West Africa to have so far infected 599 people, 362 of whom have died, a 60&#37; fatality rate.

On Monday June 23, a Civil Guard agent at passport control at Valencia airport noticed the man did not look well and called the airport’s first aid team, who then warned the Health Ministry’s Foreign Healthcare section, according to a spokeswoman for Spanish airport authorities AENA in Valencia.

In contradiction to the version offered by airport authorities, the Spanish Health Ministry in Madrid and regional health authorities in Valencia insist the man’s symptoms were noticed on board the airplane by the crew and that he was first isolated on board the aircraft.

The Health Ministry spokesman first told The Spain Report that the patient had arrived not on a flight from Morocco but on a boat, later confirming that the man had: “a high fever, dizziness, shakes and a cough”.

Health officials are waiting for the results of the tests, and say health alert protocols have been activated.

Valencian regional health minister, Manuel Llobart said today that: “We really hope that the results of the test are negative, but if it is positive, the protection of the population is guaranteed”, according to Spanish news agency EFE.

Spanish Health Authorities Activate Health Alert Over Possible West African Ebola Case In Valencia

By Matthew Bennett


NEWS: A man from Guinea Conakry is in isolation in the La Fe hostpital in Valencia, eastern Spain, with a suspected case of Ebola. There are contradictory stories about how it was discovered.

Regional health authorities in Valencia activated their infectious disease protocols on Monday night after the man, who is ?resident in Europe? according to a Spanish Health Ministry spokeswoman, was admitted to hospital with Ebola-like symptoms.


Data from the Center for Disease Control in the United States shows this spring?s Ebola outbreak in West Africa to have so far infected 599 people, 362 of whom have died, a 60% fatality rate.
On Monday June 23, a Civil Guard agent at passport control at Valencia airport noticed the man did not look well and called the airport?s first aid team, who then warned the Health Ministry?s Foreign Healthcare section, a spokeswoman for Spanish airport authorities AENA in Valencia told The Spain Report.


In contradiction to the version offered by airport authorities, the Spanish Health Ministry in Madrid and regional health authorities in Valencia insist the man?s symptoms were noticed on board the airplane by the crew and that he was first isolated on board the aircraft.


The Health Ministry spokesman first told The Spain Report that the patient had arrived not on a flight from Morocco but on a boat, later confirming that the man had: ?a high fever, dizziness, shakes and a cough?.
36 hours after the man was admitted to hospital, Spanish health officials are still waiting for the results of the tests.


Doctors Without Borders in Spain told The Spain Report that the Ebola test the organisation uses in field conditions in Guinea normally takes six hours to process, or up to 24 hours if there are transport problems from remote locations.
Spanish health authorities in Madrid and Valencia denied the tests in Spain were taking longer than necessary, and that Spanish doctors were following their own protocols. ?We are not hiding anything?, said a spokeswoman for La Fe Hospital, ?but I don?t know why it is taking so long?.


Valencian regional health minister, Manuel Llobart said today that: ?We really hope that the results of the test are negative, but if it is positive, the protection of the population is guaranteed?, according to Spanish news agency EFE.
EFE also reports Mr. Llobart as saying the man was bleeding from his nose.


The ministry would not confirm the flight number, airline, time of arrival, number of flight crew or the total number of passengers on board, but the Valencia airport webpage shows just one company, Royal Air Maroc, operating a flight between Casablanca and Valencia.


Regional health authorities in Valencia issued a statement yesterday saying the man?s symptoms: ?could correspond to said disease, which has NOT yet been confirmed or denied. We are waiting for the test results?, and asking for: ?prudence and to not cause social alarm over the suspicion of a possible disease?.


The patient is currently in a ?clinically stable? condition ?in isolation?.
A spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation told The Spain Report that the WHO was in touch with the Spanish authorities and that they were following updates in the Spanish press, but that they do not have any further information at this point.


There are five species of the Ebola virus and the World Health Organisation says case outbreaks have a fatality rate of up to 90%. The virus spreads through human-to-human transmission and physical contact with infected surfaces or mucous substances.
