      Wow. So which is it, one new case, three, or none? The last three articles including this one were released at about the same time, and seem to be contradictory. Perhaps this article is saying those three people are under observation but not believed infected?

      And there already was a report above of 14 cases that seems to be incorrect.

        Re: Jordan - Cluster of 9 people with undiagnosed acute pneumonia: 7 recovered, 1 still hospitalized, 1 dead

        Very interesting. It is unclear whether there is a legitimate link of these cases to Egypt, or whether the fact that the samples have been sent to Egypt (due to superior lab capability) is being misconstrued by the author here, possibly intentionally.

        توفيت ممرضة تبلغ  من  العمر "40" سنة  بعد معاناة استمرت لأسبوعين مع "المرض " الذي أصاب مستشفى الزرقاء الحكومي (الحاووز) وتحديدا في قسم العناية الحثيثة .   ووفق نقيب الممرضين الدكتور محمد حتاملة لـ"الحقيقة الدولية" فان المرض يحتاج  إلى تحقيق  علمي لتحديد كيف انتقلت العدوى لها  مشددا على أن جميع الإصابات بمستشفى الزرقاء الحكومي "الحاووز" ناتجة  عن عدوى داخل بيئة العمل  محملا   المستشفى المسؤولية ، داعيا وزارة الصحة لاتخاذ كافة الإجراءات اللازمة دون انتشار وازدياد أعداد المصابين. مدير المستشفيات بوزارة الصحة الدكتور احمد قطيطات أكد إن الوفاة في مستشفى الزرقاء الحكومي سببها التهاب رئوي بيد أن مصادر طبية أخرى أكدت ان الوفاة والإصابات ناتجة عن عدوى من احد العمال المصريين الوافدين ، لافتا إلى قيام وزارة الصحة بأخذ عينات من المصابين وإرسالها إلى مصر لمعرفة هوية المرض مرجحا بان تصل النتائج في غضون 48 ساعة. وأشار المصدر إلى خلو مستشفى الزرقاء الحكومي من المرضى بعدما شاع خبر وفاة ممرضة وإصابة 5 آخرين وجود عدوى قاتلة حيث خلا المستشفى من المراجعين فيما تم إغلاق قسم العناية الحثيثة فيه.    فيما يرى نقيب الممرضين إن المرض  عبارة عن  التهاب يصيب القصبات الهوائية وليس بالمرض الغامض و له  علاج  لكن الممرضين المصابين لم يمثلوا للشفاء لغاية ألان  معربا عن خشيته من ازدياد  عدد الإصابات. وفي تطور جديد توفيت ظهر  في مستشفى الرمثا الحكومي طفلة تبلغ من العمر سنتان ونصف كما أصيبت خمس فتيات لا تتجاوز أكبرهن ثلاث عشر عاما من أقارب الطفلة المتوفاة بذات الأعراض بحسب أطباء مستشفى الرمثا الحكومي. وقامت مستشفى الرمثا الحكومي باستنفار كوادرها من أطباء الأطفال والباطنية وغيرها كما حضرت لجنة من مديرية صحة الرمثا بالإضافة إلى مدير صحة الرمثا الدكتور احمد زريقات ومدير مستشفى الرمثا الحكومي قاسم مياس للإشراف على الفحوصات التي تجرى للمصابين للوقوف على حالتهم بالدقة . مدير المستشفيات بوزارة الصحة الدكتور احمد قطيطات رجح بان يكون مرض السحايا وراء وفاة الطفلة وإصابة الأخريات. وفي ظل انتشار الأمراض الغامضة تسابق وزارة الصحة لمعرفة هوية المرض  للتعامل معه طبيا والسيطرة عليه لكي لا تزداد الحالات وتنقل إلى مستشفيات أخرى.

          Re: Jordan - Cluster of 9 people with undiagnosed acute pneumonia: 7 recovered, 1 still hospitalized, 1 dead

          Here is a mention of a previous death in the ICU, of an "Asian woman" (from where in Asia?) with similar symptoms.

          And this article indicates that the nurse took ill on April 2, considerably earlier than previous reports. This article is also not even internally consistent with its case counts (16 cases? 15? 9?) Could the inclusion in the count of some or all of the unrelated "meningitis" cases in Ramtha be the reason for this discrepancy?

          It might be time to send this thread to ProMED.



          Hospital infections rise to 16 blue case





          Amman, Zarqa, Irbid Constitution Kausar Sawalha

          Zahi and the Raja Sahib and the hill



          Crisis escalated pneumonia that appeared in the blue government hospital, while the continued assurances of the Ministry of Health that it is disturbing, recorded new cases of the disease to a Department of Internal Medicine doctors at the hospital yesterday morning.

          The symptoms, the doctor is the same that appeared on the injured ex-medical staff, with the transfer of the doctor patient for being treated in hospital, Prince Hamzah, while showing injury a close brother of nurse deceased and it has also the necessary treatment, according to medical sources, in addition to injuring a third of a worker in the hospital and receiving treatment in hospital, the Mount of Olives.

          Based on the implications of the position held and the Minister of Health, Dr. Abdul-Latif and Wreikat a press conference today at noon to talk about the subject and Mostagdath and clarify many things about what happened and what the nature of the disease.

          Secretary General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Daifallah Lozi between the results of lab tests will show - at the latest - within 48 hours, and aims to know what type of virus and the severity and gravity.

          Lozi and announced in a press statement that all patients with pneumonia from the hospital staff of the blue government fully recovered from the disease.

          He said the six nurses who were referred for treatment in a hospital in Prince Hamza left the hospital after full recovery.

          He added that the health status of the brother of a good nurse who died and that he will leave the hospital after the final testing to confirm full recovery.

          He pointed out that the ministry Lozi taken all preventive measures and treatment since the registration of infection among hospital staff of the blue state.

          He stressed that infection control procedures are strictly implemented in the hospital, assured that the situation in which good and that he routinely receives patients and it is not dangerous to them or to the staff working in the hospital.

          The Ministry of Health to seasonal pneumonia disease can appear in multiple situations such as this season and that the Ministry is able to deal with this disease and the treatments available to it, describing the injuries as a pandemic can be controlled. Underscoring the number of medical staff that the situation «troubling and marred by foggy».

          While The Ministry of Health that lab tests conducted in the central laboratory and university laboratories, confirm medical sources other that the samples sent to the three countries in order to ensure that tests and show cause real illness, indicate the number of directories that the problem in the disease (pneumonia) that resistant for treatment.

          And the watchers of the state nurse the deceased, which were first infected, the symptoms appeared in the second of this month where he suffered from high fever, cough and stayed ten days, suffering without that there will be no improvement in the condition, noting that they were treated with antibiotics without there is little or no result occurs to the improvement of her condition, which led to the transition to a private hospital for treatment, they moved to the mercy of God after the failure to control the progress of the disease.

          The Ministry seeks to know the basis of the transmission, indicates workers in a hospital in the blue to the possibility that the infection has moved from one case to one of the migrant Asian women, had entered the hospital in poor condition and very suffering from symptoms similar to high temperature, where it remained in the intensive care unit and died without is to know the real reasons behind her death.

          And the hospital staff is likely that the validity of this possibility is that the staff with the disease is the staff who supervised the treatment expatriate Asian.

          The number of workers in the hospital that «the slow and the Ministry of Health» - according to what he called - is what led to the increasing incidence of the fact that the nurse was the first wounded and then rolled injuries one after the other, asserting that the injuries have exceeded the 15 cases, and it exceeded the medical staff and went to injuring a security and protection of workers and cleaners, that is «the virus spread in the hospital».

          The hospital staff said blue state that he turned into a «ghost town», where during the hospital who had to review it, and not conducted in which only one process for those injured in a traffic accident, after it was normal for surgical procedures ranging from 20 to 25 surgery a day, according to the saying.

          In this context, the citizens and workers in a hospital in blue need to «remove the hospital from the presence of» he became «the center, B», indicating that the hygiene non-existent in all its facilities, in addition to the poor condition of the hospital building, which they said will not work with any type of maintenance and restoration.

          They indicated to me that in many cases, overflowing sewage on the sections of the hospital without being sterilized or cleaned properly, what makes it natural - as they say - that the place is full of diseases and viruses.



          Hospital blue, which has become free, but some of its cadres and medical staff after he was full of vitality and movement and activity by the reviewers patients and visitors, abandoned patients and fled from the precincts and corridors visitors and reviewers for fear of contracting the disease pulmonary mysterious hit 8 of its cadres of medical and nursing and led to the death of nurse working.

          At a time disappeared when the movement of the reviewers, active movement of medical personnel from the Ministry of Health after it was cut off many of the sections and started work sterilizing the various sections in the attempt to make a preventive measure for control of the situation that caused panic among the citizens, employees and medical staff alike.

          The last steps that were made yesterday that it was evacuating all the wounded to hospital, Prince Hamzah, although laboratory tests have yet to determine the type of disease that leads to disruption of the lungs and the concomitant rise in temperature, leading to a state of confusion and frustration among the reviewers and the sick.

          It was rumored among the citizens in the blue state of fear similar to prevail in the hospital, as citizens feared that the disease is transmitted to outside the hospital to become a community. The rumors began to move among the people about the sources of the disease.

          News spread of the disease and the death of the nurse pushed a large number of people of the blue to evacuate their patients and taking them to hospitals in the private sector, where reduced or nearly cut off the number of auditors to emergency clinics that are almost empty for fear of this pandemic virus, and now the majority of cases sick go to health centers, comprehensive or clinics State of the Hospital in the neighborhood of Prince Muhammad and the Alaptrawi.

          Exercise and medical staff of the remaining work of the center of its keen interest in medical wear protectors (masks) as a precautionary measure to prevent infection, while some of the medical staff failed to work after the announcement of the death.

          The hospital is known for the blue state, which was built sixty years ago, he witnessed overcrowding in the number of reviewers being the only public hospital that serves the city of blue around a population of about one million people. The hospital used to record the largest number of divisions to Alemrajaan and private clinics, where she was seen Adkhalath proportions exceed 100% of its capacity.

          Furthermore, Al «constitution» of medical sources informed that a report prepared on the injuries hospital blue government will hand over to the competent authorities, and that the initial information was nominated of the report, attributed the injuries the hospital to the non-application procedures for infection control it and that the development of sterilization in the intensive care unit the very poor condition, and does not apply where the sterilization protocol adopted in such units.

          The report stated that the injuries are limited and not pervasive «pandemic», which requires follow-up, verification and vigilance to prevent the transformation limited the outbreak to a pandemic.

          The report indicated that the reasons germ that struck the cases of hospital blue state is clearly defined, and that there is laboratory testing conducted in the laboratories of several of the Kingdom of Labs Hospital founding King Abdullah University of Science and Technology University of Jordan and Laboratories Ministry of Health and laboratories outside the Kingdom, likely the results of these tests in the near future to determine the nature of the causative bacterium.

          The report pointed out that in the event to keep the infection control procedures in many hospitals as it is, it threatens the emergence of future pandemics are unknown parameters and extent are unpredictable and its repercussions on the health of citizens.

          Meanwhile, medical sources informed that there was a marked increase in the number of pneumonia cases in various hospitals in the Kingdom for various reasons, including weather developments. They pointed out that these sources should not be confused with what happened in the hospital and hospital blue Ramtha government, asserting that the link is the link between them all the time and that no medical relationship between what happened in the two hospitals.

          And asked to medical sources, the ability of health systems used in hospitals and the Ministry of Health to conduct effective epidemiological surveys and can link the recorded cases of different bacterial causes that could lead to a pandemic.

            This is not a translation error; the Arabic original really does contain the word "SARS" in English. But the "Asian woman" from above is from the Philippines, not China, and SARS has not been reported anywhere in the world for nearly 8 years, so that diagnosis is extremely unlikely. IMO, it is not fully clear that the death of that girl is even linked to this respiratory outbreak, but that reporters may have jumped on this as a source for an imported disease.

            Appearance

            The back of a global threat in March of 2003 and recorded the first hit in the north of China in December of 2002.
            Recently taken the health authorities the world urgent action to tackle the spread of an infectious disease of the respiratory system moved from South East Asia to North America, WHO issued a warning the world since the advent of this type is unusual pneumonia who did not know the reasons yet in China, Hong Kong, which has become a panic and now a global threat. A disease
            It is not a serious follow-up


            Nature of the virus

            Belongs to a family of viruses coronal (in English: corona virus) and contains a large amount of genetic information, and each time a cell reproduces itself within a small genetic errors occur may make it more able to infect humans and reproducing itself inside them. These errors according to the virus by the theory of natural selection and led to the creation of new strains better able to survive and spread easily from person to person.


            The new strain of the virus have coronary characteristics recently made her jump to humans and pays homage to the human body. There are strains of viruses. This disease is known scientifically acute respiratory syndrome.


            Diagnosis

            Injury is suspected SARS in people who suffer from:

            Any of the symptoms, including fever of 38 ° C and above.

            Cause this disease from a virus that attacks the respiratory system, and extends the period of incubation (2-7) days after the person becomes contagious. Quickly become infected through direct contact with patients, where the virus transmitted through the droplets that come out of the respiratory tract during coughing and up to the nose or mouth or eyes, as well as the contact person to the surface of contaminated spray lead to illness.

            Spreads from person to person, especially during the hustle and incubation period of two days to seven days. The scientists believe that the infection can take place through "close contact" such as sneezing. But they have come to the ease of spread of the disease in spite of the lack of clear communication between patients and among others infected.

This article is also not even internally consistent with its case counts (16 cases? 15? 9?) Could the inclusion in the count of some or all of the unrelated "meningitis" cases in Ramtha be the reason for this discrepancy?

              It might be time to send this thread to ProMED.



              Hospital infections rise to 16 blue case





              Amman, Zarqa, Irbid Constitution Kausar Sawalha

              Zahi and the Raja Sahib and the hill



              Crisis escalated pneumonia that appeared in the blue government hospital, while the continued assurances of the Ministry of Health that it is disturbing, recorded new cases of the disease to a Department of Internal Medicine doctors at the hospital yesterday morning.

              The symptoms, the doctor is the same that appeared on the injured ex-medical staff, with the transfer of the doctor patient for being treated in hospital, Prince Hamzah, while showing injury a close brother of nurse deceased and it has also the necessary treatment, according to medical sources, in addition to injuring a third of a worker in the hospital and receiving treatment in hospital, the Mount of Olives.

              Based on the implications of the position held and the Minister of Health, Dr. Abdul-Latif and Wreikat a press conference today at noon to talk about the subject and Mostagdath and clarify many things about what happened and what the nature of the disease.

              Secretary General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Daifallah Lozi between the results of lab tests will show - at the latest - within 48 hours, and aims to know what type of virus and the severity and gravity.

              Lozi and announced in a press statement that all patients with pneumonia from the hospital staff of the blue government fully recovered from the disease.

              He said the six nurses who were referred for treatment in a hospital in Prince Hamza left the hospital after full recovery.

              He added that the health status of the brother of a good nurse who died and that he will leave the hospital after the final testing to confirm full recovery.

              He pointed out that the ministry Lozi taken all preventive measures and treatment since the registration of infection among hospital staff of the blue state.

              He stressed that infection control procedures are strictly implemented in the hospital, assured that the situation in which good and that he routinely receives patients and it is not dangerous to them or to the staff working in the hospital.

              The Ministry of Health to seasonal pneumonia disease can appear in multiple situations such as this season and that the Ministry is able to deal with this disease and the treatments available to it, describing the injuries as a pandemic can be controlled. Underscoring the number of medical staff that the situation ?troubling and marred by foggy?.

              While The Ministry of Health that lab tests conducted in the central laboratory and university laboratories, confirm medical sources other that the samples sent to the three countries in order to ensure that tests and show cause real illness, indicate the number of directories that the problem in the disease (pneumonia) that resistant for treatment.

              And the watchers of the state nurse the deceased, which were first infected, the symptoms appeared in the second of this month where he suffered from high fever, cough and stayed ten days, suffering without that there will be no improvement in the condition, noting that they were treated with antibiotics without there is little or no result occurs to the improvement of her condition, which led to the transition to a private hospital for treatment, they moved to the mercy of God after the failure to control the progress of the disease.

              The Ministry seeks to know the basis of the transmission, indicates workers in a hospital in the blue to the possibility that the infection has moved from one case to one of the migrant Asian women, had entered the hospital in poor condition and very suffering from symptoms similar to high temperature, where it remained in the intensive care unit and died without is to know the real reasons behind her death.

              And the hospital staff is likely that the validity of this possibility is that the staff with the disease is the staff who supervised the treatment expatriate Asian.

              The number of workers in the hospital that ?the slow and the Ministry of Health? - according to what he called - is what led to the increasing incidence of the fact that the nurse was the first wounded and then rolled injuries one after the other, asserting that the injuries have exceeded the 15 cases, and it exceeded the medical staff and went to injuring a security and protection of workers and cleaners, that is ?the virus spread in the hospital?.

              The hospital staff said blue state that he turned into a ?ghost town?, where during the hospital who had to review it, and not conducted in which only one process for those injured in a traffic accident, after it was normal for surgical procedures ranging from 20 to 25 surgery a day, according to the saying.

              In this context, the citizens and workers in a hospital in blue need to ?remove the hospital from the presence of? he became ?the center, B?, indicating that the hygiene non-existent in all its facilities, in addition to the poor condition of the hospital building, which they said will not work with any type of maintenance and restoration.

              They indicated to me that in many cases, overflowing sewage on the sections of the hospital without being sterilized or cleaned properly, what makes it natural - as they say - that the place is full of diseases and viruses.



              Hospital blue, which has become free, but some of its cadres and medical staff after he was full of vitality and movement and activity by the reviewers patients and visitors, abandoned patients and fled from the precincts and corridors visitors and reviewers for fear of contracting the disease pulmonary mysterious hit 8 of its cadres of medical and nursing and led to the death of nurse working.

              At a time disappeared when the movement of the reviewers, active movement of medical personnel from the Ministry of Health after it was cut off many of the sections and started work sterilizing the various sections in the attempt to make a preventive measure for control of the situation that caused panic among the citizens, employees and medical staff alike.

              The last steps that were made yesterday that it was evacuating all the wounded to hospital, Prince Hamzah, although laboratory tests have yet to determine the type of disease that leads to disruption of the lungs and the concomitant rise in temperature, leading to a state of confusion and frustration among the reviewers and the sick.

              It was rumored among the citizens in the blue state of fear similar to prevail in the hospital, as citizens feared that the disease is transmitted to outside the hospital to become a community. The rumors began to move among the people about the sources of the disease.

              News spread of the disease and the death of the nurse pushed a large number of people of the blue to evacuate their patients and taking them to hospitals in the private sector, where reduced or nearly cut off the number of auditors to emergency clinics that are almost empty for fear of this pandemic virus, and now the majority of cases sick go to health centers, comprehensive or clinics State of the Hospital in the neighborhood of Prince Muhammad and the Alaptrawi.

              Exercise and medical staff of the remaining work of the center of its keen interest in medical wear protectors (masks) as a precautionary measure to prevent infection, while some of the medical staff failed to work after the announcement of the death.

              The hospital is known for the blue state, which was built sixty years ago, he witnessed overcrowding in the number of reviewers being the only public hospital that serves the city of blue around a population of about one million people. The hospital used to record the largest number of divisions to Alemrajaan and private clinics, where she was seen Adkhalath proportions exceed 100% of its capacity.

              Furthermore, Al ?constitution? of medical sources informed that a report prepared on the injuries hospital blue government will hand over to the competent authorities, and that the initial information was nominated of the report, attributed the injuries the hospital to the non-application procedures for infection control it and that the development of sterilization in the intensive care unit the very poor condition, and does not apply where the sterilization protocol adopted in such units.

              The report stated that the injuries are limited and not pervasive ?pandemic?, which requires follow-up, verification and vigilance to prevent the transformation limited the outbreak to a pandemic.

              The report indicated that the reasons germ that struck the cases of hospital blue state is clearly defined, and that there is laboratory testing conducted in the laboratories of several of the Kingdom of Labs Hospital founding King Abdullah University of Science and Technology University of Jordan and Laboratories Ministry of Health and laboratories outside the Kingdom, likely the results of these tests in the near future to determine the nature of the causative bacterium.

              The report pointed out that in the event to keep the infection control procedures in many hospitals as it is, it threatens the emergence of future pandemics are unknown parameters and extent are unpredictable and its repercussions on the health of citizens.

              Meanwhile, medical sources informed that there was a marked increase in the number of pneumonia cases in various hospitals in the Kingdom for various reasons, including weather developments. They pointed out that these sources should not be confused with what happened in the hospital and hospital blue Ramtha government, asserting that the link is the link between them all the time and that no medical relationship between what happened in the two hospitals.

              And asked to medical sources, the ability of health systems used in hospitals and the Ministry of Health to conduct effective epidemiological surveys and can link the recorded cases of different bacterial causes that could lead to a pandemic.
              Apparently there is a discrepancy between the Dept of Health and the health care workers at the hospital as to the actual count of cases. I am going to change the title to read "possible 16 cases".

              Thanks Alert for following this today.

                Hospital blue .. Epidemic or a serious failure in the management of the crisis!

                22-04-2012 02:31 AM

                Jordan increased the news -
                Ahmed Erekat - private - sources familiar with the hospital blue state that the epidemic pulmonary killer that has spread among medical staff in hospital blue state known as Hospital (Hawooz) and caused the death of one of the nurses it comes from a Filipino woman originally believed to be a maid in a house or factory worker entered the to hospital suffering from high fever have been inspected medical staff consisting of doctors, three nurses and ended up giving this lady antibiotics and medicine antipyretic and to leave the hospital to be seen as following the injury the doctor and nurses of the three with the same symptoms that were experienced by women and resulted in the matter of the death nurse.

                The question that presents itself where I went this lady who was the cause of infection? Do not search for them now they are a carrier of a dangerous virus left him among the aspects of the blue and left the hospital to be the cause of injuring others in their surroundings to turn it from just opposed to the epidemic include the city of Zarqa.

                On the other hand said a source who requested anonymity said the doctor who accompanied the nurses to preview the patient and that has been spreading the news of his death is still alive, suffering from the symptoms of regular flu and that the matter does not exceed the mere pneumonia powerful of the kind that used to doctors dealt with in this time of year, but what made things take the course of a wider than usual that the injuries were among the medical staff of the hospital may be due to this that the quality of the bacteria that cause the inflammation was able to develop itself so not affected by antibiotics with the usual assertion that the doctor who was in good condition on 21/4/2012 may leave the hospital tomorrow, and the Prince Hamza told us that Almamradan hunters who were wounded in the same time as the nurse was hit by God rest her soul had left the Prince Hamzah Hospital today they are in good health.

                In a telephone conversation with one of the patients told us that there is injury among cleaners and that the hospital two days ago, did not enter one of the cleaners who abstained from work, causing a state of anarchy and the spread of the garbage with the acute shortage of nurses, he underlined that the number of patients in the sections does not exceed the fingers of the hand one has been distributed packets of Sberto on patients for sterilization and food comes envelope tightly than usual, doctors and nurses wearing masks while not being distributed to patients or accompanying them, and said some sections empty of patients who left it upon themselves to private no administration is trying to prevent them from leaving for fear of to be carriers of a disease with the knowledge that the government hospitals as the other was said to him refuses to receive patients with hospital blue door precautions against infection, and in the meantime confirmed to us a doctor in one of the government hospitals over the phone that he was on the introduction of a state of hospital blue with sparking panic among patients and medical staff and then became clear to them that the introduction of the patient came through the mode of high-level person,

                On the other side said one of the doctors working in the hospital that there effort to stone on the news more than a stone on the epidemic and said (even if it was simple once suspected and B must take the measures the maximum confined until they are sure our vice-versa) and this is what we have not seen even for raincoats we place on our mouths and our noses and that we kept our own initiative and not at the request of the Department of the hospital practice, are not proof of infection, adding that the media blackout is a huge thing was the better for the management of the hospital held a meeting with medical staff and to report on what is happening, but they met with us only for the threat to take legal proceedings against absent from work than Zadna certainty that there is something serious is happening, especially after the sterilization process the first and second question here What sterilized? They are dealing with something unknown virus or bacteria does not know how to move to breathe touching Will spread easy in the air or not, in addition to the blackout on the number of infections within intensive care, where we heard that a brother nurse who died among the injured and his condition is bad and said he had to manage hospital to prevent the visit, because every visitor is qualified to carry the disease if we adopted that there is a serious infection, and transportation for his family and for the people in the street as well as prevent patients from leaving and not leaving leaving a facility on their shoulders and the application of the meaning of quarantine in a scientific manner minutes and finally said (we are afraid I do not think that one blame us because we refuse to be the martyrs of the negligence of the Ministry of Health and management of the hospital, they say that it is simple, while we have not seen one of the senior staff FINE Minister of Health who could only send an observer, why not bring it personally to what satisfied Btmina not speak directly with us and explain it from a scientific point of view to convince us that there is no risk ).

                For the sterilization process the first and second said another source close to the management of the hospital that the sterilization first was from the cadres of the hospital and was sterilized with simple tools, but the Department of Health and the Ministry preferred to re-sterilization again with tools more sophisticated and under the supervision of experts on sterilization as to the health minister is out of the country and is expected to arrive today.

                Of course, all that was said previously in the words of medical staff and the staff and patients will be the Ministry of Health and management of the hospital exiled, but what was in their favor and the above is clear to us that the style of the management of this crisis by the Ministry of Health through the Directorate of health of the blue and the end powered hospital blue government was a failure in the sense the word Valtotaim Media that has occurred since the death of a nurse and there were many using words Tminana and left to the rumors to be the master of the situation particularly with regard to the number of injuries to rise or fall, causing a reaction inverse resulted in a state of panic hit the workers, the sick and all the people of the blue especially adjacent to the hospital increased the of the confusion and make people deal with the statements officials of the very few with skepticism, relying on the wisdom that says (an ounce of prevention is better than cure), raising the level of vigilance and preparedness to protect themselves with a deep sense of immersion the people of the blue and staff at his hospital state that they last are the owners of government decision-For the words of an employee of the hospital who said bitterly (hum what if he dies young like us as long as the adult fine) Vaslob crisis management is what created the crisis.

                    The "Brigades" has exclusively published the news a few days ago.

                    That reacted to the issue of the mysterious illness that struck the intensive care unit where nurses are always rejected in the same section for fear of infection at a time when the hospital administration has threatened to crack down on administrative residuals for all times.

                    According to the information that the medical staff informed the hospital administration fears of the mysterious disease and the fear of transmission to their children, where they live in great fear has led to detection of the hospital administration that they sleep in their cars for fear of their children from disease.

                    The sources for "Brigades" that the beginning of the mysterious disease had appeared two weeks ago at the start of a nurse with experience over 18 years, it was noted by the continued high temperature, although to give it all types of antibiotics.

                    The sources confirmed that the fear began when he was hit two from the back of them nurses and high temperature and general decline in addition to turning to white lung as a result of infections that hit the respiratory tract where they were taken for treatment at the Islamic Hospital.

                    It is interesting that the Minister of Health does not have to make any statement about this mysterious disease, which did not disclose his name and his treatment so far.

                        These are the four fatalities I was aware of (not including the Egyptian laborer which may be errant).

                        This is a doctor's blog:



                        How income mysterious disease to Jordan ...??


                        Are dozens of questions arise about what the disease epidemic which was launched recently by the name of \ 'killer of people \' which resulted in several deaths officially announced for one of them belonging to the nurse in a hospital in the blue government called emotions in what she said unofficial sources that the 4 victims died as a result of this epidemic disease, including patients of Filipino nationality may enter the hospital was a blue state about three weeks and the impoverishment emotions nurse and then a three-year-old in Ramtha and then a child eight years old in Ajloun.

                        Disease other than caused by the death of moved to the mercy of God he was able to infect 14 people Zarqa and 5 Balrmtha in unofficial statistics as we do not know if there were other cases in our hospitals, which is concerned with in the greatest cases collect large sums of money regardless of the disasters that may occur not God forbid if admitted to these hospitals, patients and people with infectious diseases arrivals Mtanasean how much will be attached to those with other injuries than those who deal with them at the working level and at the social level.

                        Observers of the sequences of the disease found that Jordan was completely free of this epidemic disease that has turned a look hospitals, especially private as well as to view the material instead of humanity became receives thousands of patients coming wide range of nationalities to reap as much as possible of the amount, ignoring the dangers that may occur to those who are dealing with these patients and that the infection has been passed to them.

                        Medical sources confirmed that the Kingdom is now witnessing the return of significant chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and the old AIDS, malaria and there is a clear shortcoming in the organization of health screening for contacts of patients with infectious epidemic diseases in all the provinces.


                        The source urged greater oversight of the health governorates of the Kingdom, as well as to form a body approved by all the medical workforce in the country, to study the rate of increase, and out by the scientific face of infectious diseases and epidemics.

                        Informed sources said that the nationality of the patients from hospital to enter the Philippine government before the blue twenty days and 48 hours after he died and the hospital administration sterilizing department and intensive care Baldettol Alhaapeix and was re-opening section ... What happened after that??

                        Nurse was hit by God rest her soul and emotions that died of SARS is believed to be quoted and injury to her brother and wounded another doctor and six nurses at a hospital other blue state as well as injuring a nurse and another today announced that the injuries in hospital blue rose to 14 injured in the same disease.

                        Cases that were hit with the same disease suffered from the symptoms of high temperatures and severe pneumonia.
