Death by dengue triggers alarms in Paraguay
Asunci?n, March 9 (Prensa Latina) The first dengue death this year triggered alarms from the Paraguayan Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare in its fight against the disease and in the education of the population.
The Directorate of Health Surveillance confirmed the death of a 31-year-old girl from Minga Guaz?, Alto Paran?, the day before, as the first fatal victim to be charged for dengue so far in 2019.
The head of that entity, Dr. Guillermo Sequera, pointed to the conclusion of the investigation that resulted in that first case of death from this ailment in the season.
He stressed that it is now in Minga Guaz? where the largest number of cases of the disease is confirmed. Of the 255 confirmed cases of dengue, 183 correspond to that territory.
He stressed that there are very few cases confirmed of dengue per week compared to previous years, so that more deaths can be avoided.
He explained that deaths can be prevented if doctors are quickly consulted for fever or other serious symptoms, and that patients stop self-medicating. "Do not minimize what is dengue," he stressed.
Sequera added that the other active dengue outbreak is in the area of Pedro Juan Caballero, capital of the Amambay department.
There were confirmed 29 cases of serotype 2 that are historically considered the most serious of the disease, he said.
