Zika epidemic beginning in Martinique and French Guiana

Friday 15 January 2016 7:06 p.m.

The Ministry of Health confirmed Friday night the start of an outbreak of Zika in Martinique and French Guiana. Since the first cases were detected in late December,47 cases were confirmed in Martinique, 15 cases in Guiana and one case has been confirmed in St. Martin. An action plan has been implemented by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) in the areas concerned.

Zika The virus is transmitted by the same mosquito responsible for the transmission of dengue and chikungunya. In the vast majority of cases (70-80%) the infection goes unnoticed. When speaking, the symptoms are flu-like (fever, headache, body aches) with rashes.

Monitoring of laboratory confirmed cases


Since the identification of the first biologically confirmed cases of
Zika in December 2015, 45 cases laboratory confirmed
were recorded.
Between the first and second week of January,
the weekly number of laboratory confirmed cases has more
than tripled, from 4 to 15 (Figure 3).

Municipalities in which case biologically
Zika confirmed indigenous were recorded are R?mireMontjoly,
Matoury, Kourou, Sinnamary, Mana and Saint Laurent. c

No complications related to Zika has been identified to date.

No deaths marked "Zika" has been reported to
day.


Surveillance of clinically suggestive cases by
the sentinel physician network


Each week spread over 26 sentinel physicians
in the entire department transmit the number of
consultations for patients meeting the case definition
Zika.
This surveillance began the first week of January
2016 and reported 50 and 114 cases clinically evocative seen
in consultation for the first two weeks. This marks
a significant increase in viral transmission (Figure 3).

Spatial distribution of clinically suggestive cases

consultations for clinically suggestive cases of Zika.

The municipalities of Sinnamary, Saint Laurent, Cayenne and R?mire
-Montjoly recorded the highest cumulative incidence,
respectively equal to 19, 15, 10 and 9 per 10,000 inhabitants.

Conclusions for Guyana

The epidemiological situation in Guyana Zika is the level 3a of arbovirus Psage
emerging "epidemic Phase calling the usual management measures.
" This level will be submitted

Zika: French Guiana in epidemic phase

By Lefigaro.fr with AFPMis updated 01/25/2016 at 19:27 Published on 25/01/2016 at 19:13

The coast of French Guiana has moved in epidemic phase of Zika, today announced the prefecture, adding that 45 cases were "laboratory confirmed and 160 suspected including four pregnant women." The main outbreaks related to Zika virus, transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, also responsible for dengue and chikungunya, are "the island of Cayenne, Kourou, the West", Saint-Laurent du Maroni and Mana, explained the prefect Martin Jaeger during press conference at the Cayenne prefecture.

The decision to move in epidemic phase in this French department of the Amazon with more than 244,000 inhabitants, was taken on the proposal of epidemic management committee, convened by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) Friday. "The figures are certainly underestimated as 80% of patients have no symptoms, so you can have a silent circulation", expressed concern Meurin Christian, director of the ARS. The ongoing rainy season favors the proliferation of mosquitoes and the carnival period increases the risk of contagion.

"There is no catastrophism to have, but with the experience of this kind of epidemic, we know it starts slowly and then it goes exponentially." It is necessary that "people understand that simple things are important," the prefect said.

To protect themselves, people are asked to wear long clothes, sleeping under mosquito nets, insecticide use, clean their homes and garden areas where mosquitoes can grow. Zika virus worried because some pregnancies can lead to brain malformation of the newborn in case of contamination of the mother during pregnancy.

To implement the "monitoring protocol adapted to pregnancies" in the epidemic zone of Zika, announced in late December by the Department of Health, "a meeting of consensus among obstetricians" was organized "because the measures will be evaluated, investigated and first in preventive, "according to Christian Meurin. In rural areas, medical monitoring is complicated. Access to a hospital service is "on average at least three hours" for 21% of Guyana's population, according to a 2014 report and "10-15% of pregnancies are not monitored," according the director of the ARS.

In medical deserts of Guiana, called "deviations", "medical evacuations" to the Guyana coast will be scheduled "in case of suspicion" of contamination of a pregnant woman, said Christian Meurin.

 to symptomatic pregnant women
and patients presenting grave forms or complications
 to newborns for whom the infection Zika of
the mother is suspected during pregnancy or
congenital malformation is suspected.

A total of 88 confirmed cases of Zika were recorded in Guyana
between December 2015 and February 2016 (S2015-49 S2016-05 to) by
CNR Arbovirus of the Pasteur Institute of Guyana.


All the confirmed cases are located in the areas of
Coastal current epidemic.

including 2 among children under 6 year old.

In total, during the month of January, 5 and 3 visits for
Zika in emergencies were respectively recorded CHAR
and CMCK and 12 consultations to the GMC.

Spatial distribution of clinically suggestive cases

The municipalities of Sinnamary, St Laurent du Maroni and R?mire-Montjoly are where the cumulative incidence of clinically suggestive cases of Zika were the highest for the four weeks of January and respectively equal to 68, 40 and 30 cases per 10 000 (Figure 4).

Note two clinically suggestive cases of Zika were recorded in sectors outside epidemic: 1 in Grand-Santi and 1 in Apatou.

Surveillance for complications associated with infection by Zika

Since the beginning of the emergence of Zika in Guyana, infection
virus was confirmed in eight pregnant women.

The establishment of a monitoring associated with Zika virus
complications identified three suspected syndrome
Guillain-Barr? that occurred during the month of January. The
infection by Zika could not be confirmed by RT-PCR, the final results
(serology) are pending.


To date, no death certificate marked "Zika"
was listed in Guyana.

Analysis of the epidemiological situation in Guyana

The epidemic is growing in areas of the Guiana coast (St Laurent du Maroni on the Island
Cayenne). Two clinically suggestive cases were registered on the Maroni sector
currently non-epidemic area.

The impact on hospital activity remains low for hospitals and Cayenne
Kourou, noted, however, an increase in the number of consultations for the Guard Zika

Zika: "More than 1,000 suspected cases" in Guyana (Marisol Touraine)

28 Febr. 2016, 3:18 | Update: Feb. 28. 2016, 3:18

The Health Minister Marisol Touraine, traveling to Guyana to take stock of the spread of Zika, reported Saturday "more than 1,000 suspected cases" in the territory, including 13 pregnant women, noted AFP.

The minister particularly went to Saint-Laurent du Maroni, where 11 of the 13 cases of gestational Zika are recorded and where a "suspected microcephaly" fetal in a Guyanese pregnant of "six months" is followed at hospital West Guiana (CHOG), said the chief physician of the maternity ward, Gabriel Carles.

"One wonders if the Zika does not cause miscarriages," he said to the minister on Saturday . In CHOG, "two miscarriages" of women affected by Zika have been recorded since December 2015, he said.

"The problem is that we see that there is more and more brain abnormalities not visible at birth," said Dr. Carles, with reference to medical data that begin to arrive from Polynesia affected by an outbreak of Zika in 2013-2014. "The prospects are better than in Brazil as we are informed in advance about incurred risks ", he nevertheless estimated.

Starting Monday, the "first specialized consultations" will begin in Guyana "in monthly monitoring" of pregnant women, told to AFP a medical sonographer.

The Minister asked that two ultrasound in addition to the basic three be offered to all pregnant women. Those detected positive for Zika will receive "a monthly ultrasound monitoring."

To alleviate the needs, Marisol Touraine announced that a reinforcement of the establishment of preparedness and response to health emergencies (EPRUS) would be released. "Two midwives and one obstetrician gynecologist. They are already mobilized in France."

The Minister also announced the order of "a mobile ultrasound system" in order to conduct missions to isolated villages.

"Only 40% of pregnant women" are followed properly in normal times, noted the head of the maternity service CHOG. He cited the "transport problems" for many women in remote areas. "We will have difficulties, we can nottravel in all the villages."

INTERVIEW

Marisol Touraine: "Against Zika, mobilization is there"

By Eric Favereau - February 29, 2016 at 14:11

Marisol Touraine, Minister of Health, returned this Monday from a five-day tour of three departments and overseas territories. She reported on the epidemic with "Liberation".
...
And the risk of microcephaly for the child of a woman who was infected during her pregnancy?

This weekend, in Guyana, we were told of a suspicion in a child who has been born, but it is not confirmed. However, several of the doctors whom I met told me of reports of higher number of miscarriages. They worry about it, but they can not establish a connection, it is in any case a new matter. Other researchers point to the risk of neurological damage, real but lower. But again, these are only assumptions. Anyway, a number of research programs are put in place with the constitution of cohorts to follow not only pregnant women but also children to examine the long term. Only these studies will provide us answers.
