Two girls died between Monday night and Tuesday morning because of the dengue epidemic that spread in the town of Guanay, Larecaja province of La Paz department. The first victim was four years old and the second victim was eight years old, residents reported in contact with Erbol.
According to the report, the epidemic spread in recent days after a poor spraying campaign, with a mixture of kerosene and another reagent in places suspected of incubating the aedes aegypti mosquito, the main vector of the viruses that cause dengue.
The girls were not able to overcome the disease with paracetamol drugs prescribed to them at the health center. The first died at home and the eight-year-old girl was taken to the Caranavi Hospital, where she was admitted to intensive care, admitted to a coma and could not survive.
A few days ago, two more people died in the community of Challana, 15 minutes away from the urban center. From January to date the number of victims would reach five people who died.
Because of these cases, the tone of criticism of Mayor Roger Ticona's management increased not only because of this epidemic, but also because of management in the health area after having lost several items of medical specialists.
The radio portal Activa-Guanay reported 173 febrile cases and 19 suspects that collapsed the health center. The administrator Junior Zeballos informed that they declared themselves in emergency before the proliferation of the disease.
The parents asked to suspend school work while controlling the epidemic, also aggravated in recent days by a massive presence of rats that took places and other public spaces and entered some homes, causing anxiety among the inhabitants.
A sector of the population observes negligence in the municipal authorities for the deficient fumigation, while another one assumes the lack of education, prevention and cleaning at home and in the drainage channels.
"Unfortunately the epidemic is worse than before; we only have to take care of ourselves because the government does not give us anything that it gives us. Take care of your children, use repellents. Clean your houses, avoid entering the mountain ... "wrote a person through social networks.
The villagers demanded that the Government of La Paz and the Ministry of Health give urgent attention to the control of the mosquito and the elimination of rats.
