A first case of cholera which worries
Date: March 19, 2024
The first case of cholera, a woman who arrived via Kwassa from Anjouan, resided briefly in Passamainty. As soon as she had the first symptoms, she immediately called 15. The Samu immediately dispatched a team to extract her from the site safely. She was then taken care of by the CHM. As soon as the cholera case was confirmed, ARS teams went to the field to identify the family circle and the contact subjects in order to put these people on antibiotics. Two people close to the family were vaccinated. Teams also intervened to disinfect the area according to international recommendations.
The ARS reminds that any person coming from the Comoros and who has either vomiting or diarrhea must isolate themselves and call 15. People who present these symptoms must also follow the same procedure. Reinforcement teams are already on the ground to reinforce the SAMU.
