Re: Venezuela - Eight dead in Maracay Central Hospital by unidentified illness - Aragua state

The reports are all over the place. It is clear that some kind of disease outbreak in underway, but far from clear what.

The mention of Ebola is gratuitous; without a link to Africa, or mention of infection of HCW (or familiar clustering, for that matter), it seems unlikely. Meningoccocal disease may be behind some of these cases, and there is at least one report suggesting that some form of hospital-acquired sepsis may be going on as well.

The timing here is not consistent with Ebola (or an Ebola-like spread), as all these cases happened essentially at once, not over several weeks in generations.

Dengue and Venezuelan hemorrhagic fevers should also be investigating for patients presenting with symptoms of hemorrhagic fever in Venezuela.

It sure sounds like more than one thing is going on here.

He specified that six of the patients were admitted to the Central Hospital of Maracay and two Social Security from San Jos? with fever, malaise, skin blisters and bleeding generalized (nose and ears) that ended with a general failure of vital organs.

Centralism delayed delivery of results

For his part, denied that they have been contaminated in the Central Hospital. The patients came from distant locations, some of Mariara, Victory and other unrelated between them.

Finally, Sarmientos appealed to the general public not to approach the Central Hospital of Maracay, unless strictly necessary as it is a deadly disease.
