Mysterious disease in Y?r?ti?l? (Dianra)

September 25, 2019

The enigmatic disease raging in the department of Dianra in northwestern C?te d'Ivoire in the B?r? region was linked to vitamin B1 deficiency.

In Yeretiele, there have been thirty cases of deaths since July 2019. According to the Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, Dr. Aka Aouele, the so-called mysterious disease that had killed more than thirty Yeretiele is under control. He said on Tuesday, September 24, 2019 on the antennas of Ivorian Radio Broadcasting (RTI).

For him, "it's not a mysterious disease. In this case, at the level of the Ministry of Health, we have skills. Do you know that the latest aggregation contest of the African and Malagasy Council for Higher Education (CAMES), C?te d'Ivoire alone had between forty-five and fifty aggregates. These are real values that are in the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene. We must be careful to qualify certain things. Because it's scary; and to say that like that, kills more than if we had not treated. I have been to Yereitele; I saw that the parents were unhappy to know that we say that the disease is mysterious, so we can not treat them. Dear brothers, I invite you to avoid certain statements.

He reassured that, "This is not an imaginary disease. The investigation that has been made is that we are in a case of malnutrition due to a lack of vitamin B1; diamine. And this is due to the power supply in the area. I take this opportunity to offer my condolences to the bereaved families. There were thirteen deaths in total. This is a situation that is perfectly under control today. There are 300 patients who are in good condition. The director of the nutrition program is there with his team because we now know what it is to feed parents with micronutrients.

"We pushed the investigations off. All the analyzes have been done here. It turned out that because the parents were scared, they did not go out because there was Y?r?ti?l? first but the sub-prefect of Sirasso who called when we were in korhogo to report that there were cases weird. We went in all responsibility and it allowed us to know that we were on the right path. On the instruction of the Prime Minister, Dianra was erected as a health district and hospital health center, "said Dr. Aka Aou?l?.

Recall that the disease was manifested by edema (swelling) in the face, upper and lower limbs, chest pain and death after 48 hours if the patient is not supported in time in a health center. She had made more than thirty deaths in Y?r?ti?l? since July 2019.
