She went towards the common grave of the cemetery of Anjanahary to bury a woman of forty, suspected to have died from pneumonic plague, according to a source within the (BMH). She would have died in the service of respiratory diseases of the hospital after being admitted on Sunday, according to concordant sources.
This victim had caught the disease by having a holiday in the east of the Big Island. "She was staying with her family in Toamasina, when four of them, including the husband and wife, died suddenly. It was suspected plague, "reported a relative who wanted to remain anonymous.
The eastern part is however not a plague area. We fear the connection between those deaths and that of a person who would come Moramanga and was traveling in Toamasina. Sources reveal that the latter would have joined Toamasina by bush taxi, starting from Moramanga and lost way of life, following a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak. It would have contaminated a young man sitting next to him in the public transport. The latter would also died.
Asked about these facts, the responsible service of the fight against the plague in the Ministry of Public Health at the hospital, preferred to remain silent. It is the same to the director of health surveillance and epidemiological surveillance of the Ministry. We do know he is on a mission to Toamasina now.
Five deaths
Another source in the ministry who would urge everyone to take precautions against these suspected cases of plague, revealed the existence of five suspicious deaths and ten patients since the beginning of the plague season. They were listed in Toamasina, Moramanga and Miarinarivo excluding that recorded in Antananarivo. She also stressed that members of the family of the deceased in Toamasina would already gone home, Mahajanga and Voh?mar.
There would not, however, the risk of disease transmission on people who have been in contact with the victim. The team of the Ministry of Public Health and of the BMH have been rushed to the hospital to distribute plague prevention drugs to his family and relatives and the hospital staff. They have also conducted a service disinfection operation where the deceased was admitted and the mortuary. Despite this, consulting a doctor is highly recommended in case of suspicious symptoms, namely high fever, painful glands, cough with bloody sputum. Bush fires are to be avoided and the sanitation of the neighborhoods are indicated, to prevent the rats from riding in the village.
