In recent days, an epidemic whose origin is unknown until then has wreaked havoc in the cities of Abba and Baboua in the Nana-Mamb?r? in the west of the country.
The symptoms manifest as flu, accompanied by coughing incessant. "This is a kind of epidemic flu that is striking the inhabitants of Baboua and Abba on the Ax Galo and F?h (Nana-Mamb?r?). It attacks the respiratory tract in a progressive manner and becomes widespread throughout the body and ends in death, "said a local source, joined on the phone by Radio Nd?k? Luka (RNL).
"Currently, there is a provisional record of eight (8) cases of death in the locality of Foh and twelve (12) other in the city of Abba, a total of twenty (20) deaths," said the same inhabitant .
According to the observation of some local doctors, "every month from September to the beginning of the dry season, the population often suffers an epidemic of influenza. Much more about people who are already infected with asthma or tuberculosis and who subsequently die. "
On the risk of contamination, no details so far have been revealed. The doctors have not yet come down to the field to make the finding to define provisions to prevent contamination and remedy the disease. However, the populations of these areas are in a generalized psychosis because they are vulnerable to the damage caused by this disease.
Local authorities are warning the Government and humanitarian NGOs to take urgent action.
