Boffa , a woman dies in full romantic getaway .

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 4:20 p.m. Kaloum Press .

Death has always struck at the wrong time . And Abdoulaye Camara will remember it for the rest of his days on earth. Last weekend, in fact, he saw his friend die after a short illness.

It happened on the island Bokhi Nene , sub-prefecture of Koba in Boffa . M'Mah Camara, a housewife in her thirties, already had a relationship with Mr. Abdoulaye Camara for some time. This , despite her marital status known to all Dubr?ka where she lives.

On Saturday, May 31, therefore , Camara lady leaves her marital home to join her lover on the island of Bokhi Nene , they say , a "visit" . Only the getaway turns ordeal. Just arrived M'Mah Camara is struck down by a disease hitherto unknown .

On Sunday , she is transported by emergency boat to a health post located on another island.

Primary care fail . Decision is made to evacuate on Boffa where there is a large hospital. This was done . But unfortunately she succumbed to her illness a few hours later .

Faced with this inexplicable situation Boffa still decides to bring the body to Dubr?ka the hometown of the deceased. But here , parents and in-laws of M'Mah Camara oppose a polite but adamant refusal about receiving her mortal remains.

Then undertake negotiations that result in a failure. The body will eventually be transferred by order of the customary and judicial authorities at Donka Hospital morgue for forensic evidence .

Ebola : MSF regrets " the reluctance of patients to go to the hospital "

Written by Guineetime .

Ebola continues to grow . The number of infections is rising again , when it seemed to have stabilized , deplores this June 3 Médecins Sans Frontières ( MSF). The epicenter of the epidemic , Guinea, is affected, but the virus also extends to Sierra Leone.

MSF, which supports patients infected with Ebola virus , sounded the alarm : the measures taken to contain the epidemic are inadequate....

Highly mobile patients

In Guinea , the epidemic is not slowing down either....Far from being limited to the "epicenter" (the capital Conakry, Guéckédou and Macenta , where the first cases come ), the virus has spread to Guinea Maritime, coastal zone of the country.

If the virus continues to migrate , it is partly because of the "reluctance of patients to go to the hospital ," explains MSF. Despite the efforts of the teams on the ground , " Ebola is a disease that scares and is seen as mysterious ," says Marie- Christine Ferir , coordinator of MSF's emergency programs. "Winning the trust of the population is essential to combat the epidemic . "

People also resist preventive measures , says the NGO: the sick, dead or alive , are extremely mobile which complicates the containment of the virus to a specific area. " The strength of the community and cross-border monitoring of persons having been in contact with patients are the main challenges that we face on the ground ," says Marie- Christine Ferir

Re: Guinea - Ebola: 344 clinical cases including 215 deaths, as of June 5, 2014

The phylogenetic analysis of the five ebolavirus species here does not substantially improve on that presented by Baize et al.1 in that even when partitioning the alignment into coding and non-coding regions we get inconsistent rooting positions for the EBOV clade. We believe that at present no suitable outgroup sequences to root the EBOV phylogeny exist and that a temporal rooting gives the most consistent results.

This approach indicates that the outbreak in Guinea is likely caused by a Zaire ebolavirus lineage that has spread from Central Africa into Guinea and West Africa in recent decades, and does not represent the emergence of a divergent and endemic virus.

As the GP sequences show, without more diverse sequences, especially those from the animal reservoir, it is difficult to narrow down the estimates of when and through what means the Central African EBOV lineage has been introduced into West Africa.

Ebola in Guinea: Guinean Government disputes the assessment of WHO ...

CONAKRY-Health authorities in Guinea have challenged the balance provided by its partner, the World Health Organization on the evolving situation of Ebola viral hemorrhagic fever in Guinea. While the WHO announced the figure of 208 dead and 328 suspected cases, the Guinean government gives a figure of 206 confirmed cases including 126 deaths, has learned Africaguinee.com.

It is the IMC response to Ebola, who during a press conference on Saturday, rectified the World Health Organization.

"Since the beginning of the epidemic, Guinea has recorded 206 confirmed cases of hemorrhagic fever with 126 deaths. 51 people are cured, 29 patients confirmed positive are still hospitalized with 9 in Guekedou, 12 in Télimélé, 1 in Boffa and 7 in Conakry ", announced on Saturday, Dr Fanta Kaba, Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Health.

1205 contacts identified ...

On the day of June 5, 1205 identified contacts are tracked in the country, including 111 Télimélé, 279 in Guekedou, 176 in Macenta, 78 in Boffa, 98 in Dubréka and 463 in Conakry adds the response committee.

Measures taken ...

The chains of transmission of these cases have been identified and the investigation continues, said the committee. As a result, response measures have been taken to identify new cases. Including by strengthening human resources and logistics to Télimélé and Boffa, amplification interventions in Conakry and a better consideration of concern in intervention strategies, the formal prohibition of transfer of the body of a prefecture to another or from one locality to another, maintaining a link with the affected families.

Welcome Donners.

Thank you. This site is a tremendous resource.


I note that the tally based on the latest WHO update (344 cases in Guinea and 81 in Sierra Leone, plus the previously-reported 13 in Liberia) is now 438 cases.

This is now the highest number of recorded cases in an Ebola outbreak, exceeding the 425 from Uganda in 2000-01.

<SMALL>Ebola in Kouroussa: already eight (8) deaths, according to the prefectural health director!

It is the national radio who announced what was considered a rumor: the cursed fever is now in Kouroussa, having caused more than one hundred (100) deaths in Conakry and several prefectures of Guinea Forest (Guekedou Kissidougou and Macenta) and Lower Guinea (Boffa and T?lim?l?).</SMALL>

<SMALL>According to the prefectural health director in Kouroussa it was the death of several patients and nurses, all from the same region that has worried health workers and motivated them to take samples on another patient who was already at agony.

...
If we do not know the exact number of cases currently in Conakry (with the reluctance in some families), medical sources talk about four deaths in the prefecture of Boffa (affected, more than one week ago) with a case of death in Koba, a hospitalized patient whose condition is improving and 78 contacts.

For its part, the prefecture-T?lim?l? affected since May 1, has now totaled 114 cases of contact, ten patients hospitalized in isolation in Sogoroyah center, eight dead and five cured, according to doctors who were reached by telephone by ? Guin?enews.

The reluctance of some families seem to be the main cause of the rise of the fever in our country. Authorities often indicate that there has been no new cases, but an increase in suspicious cases that propagate this serious disease in the country.

According to the prefectural health director Kouroussa Dr. Aissata Cond? who confirmed the news, to this day Sunday, June 8, 2014, there were 8 patients who all died.

"These are successive deaths in the same family. This is what led us to say that it was suspected cases of Ebola. We were able to collect a sample from a case that was sent to Conakry which proved positive. This is what makes us say that these are cases of Ebola, "said Dr. Aissata Cond? on the air of state media.

Parsing Guinea's (and WHO's) Ebola numbers

Two days ago, I posted a report from Guinea in which WHO's tally of Ebola cases came in for criticism. Now Dr. Jody Lanard offers an explanation:

I'm sure you already noticed that the Guinea officials are citing confirmed cases only - whereas WHO is citing the total of the probable, suspected, and confirmed cases, which is the normative way of citing Ebola numbers during an Ebola outbreak.
The Guinea officials seem to be glossing over this distinction to justify calling the WHO numbers a mistake.
From WHO's Ebola case definitions during an outbreak, it looks as though suspected and probable cases are thought to have a high likelihood of being true Ebola cases. The definitions: http://bit.ly/1xEcaiK (pdf)
In the past, WHO and others have routinely and explicitly included "presumptive cases" (suspected + confirmed) in their totals for Ebola outbreaks, along with the break-outs of suspected vs. confirmed. (Example: Figure 2, graphing the largest Ebola outbreak to date, Uganda 2000, at: http://1.usa.gov/SKNtRn
The current West Africa outbreak/epidemic now has the second highest number of cases on record. (See WHO's "Chronology of previous Ebola virus disease outbreaks" table at http://bit.ly/1ivlbD0 )
I think the Guinea Ministry is just plain wrong, or making up its own definitions, or actually knows it is citing apples to WHO's oranges, or who knows what. In any case, their protest makes them look less credible. What a ghastly situation, from so many perspectives.

For WHO in Guinea, there is concordance data on Ebola

RFI

In Guinea, the Ebola virus continues to increase. The epidemic has spread to Boffa, Guinea maritime, and Telimele in the Kindia region. New patients were also recorded in Conakry and Gu?k?dou Macenta. A controversy started on the number of victims affected by the disease.

Last week, in its latest report, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported 208 deaths in the country due to the Ebola virus. Saturday, Guinean Management Committee of the disease had on his side 126 dead. A gap therefore of 82 deaths.

Ren? Coddy, the WHO Representative in Guinea, polemic launched by some newspapers is unfounded. There is no discrepancy in the data. The Guinean authorities speak of laboratory confirmed cases, while WHO adds probable and suspected cases, which explains the difference:

"The problem is in reading the data. When you look at the figure that has been taken, it is the cumulative. Locally, we speak of confirmed cases. At the meeting of ministers, it was also stated: "Here the nomenclature is given There is no contradiction between what they say and what we say."
Them, they are laboratory-confirmed cases; we have taken probable and suspected cases. This is our nomenclature in all Ebola epidemics. And every day we get a report out. We are fighting together. So it is not to belittle anything. There was perhaps a misunderstanding, but no contradiction. We process the data day by day together and we lead the fight together.

Ebola: a new assessment, meeting for Ministers of Health of the Mano River

The Interdepartmental Management Committee Ebola said Saturday, June 14 that the number of cases rose to 144 deaths on 246 confirmed cases, while it was 126 deaths on 208 cases on June 5

The latest report shows 64 cases of people healed and confirmed five (5) new cases. "At this date, 34 patients confirmed positive are currently hospitalized with 15 in Gu?k?dou, eight (8) in T?l?m?l?, two (2) Boffa and 9 in the capital Conakry," said Colonel Remy Lamah, Minister of Health and Public Health.

However, Colonel Remy Lamah reassured that the transmission channels of the new cases were identified. "The investigation continues, and response measures have been taken to quickly identify new cases."

For his part, Marc Poncin, emergency coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, said that the situation of the Ebola virus has "become complex in Guinea" with the onset of the disease all around the country. "We need communication and mobilization of everyone to better fight Ebola," urged Marc Poncin, stressing that his institution will continue the support of medical care.

The Ebola outbreak strikes both Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The Minister of Health said that patients from the two neighboring countries are cared for at the processing center of the city of Guekedou south of the country.

The three countries of the Mano River Union wish to combine their efforts to face the common enemy. Colonel Remy Lamah announced that a meeting of Ministers of Health of the sub-regional organization will be held in Conakry June 20. Together they will try to find common strategies against Ebola.

Guinea-Ebola: "Most of our patients come from Sierra Leone and Liberia," said Minister Remy Lamah

Published Monday, June 16, 2014 2:08 p.m.
Written by Amadou Diallo Kendessa

Guinea has recorded 246 confirmed cases of Ebola since the announcement of the epidemic, said Saturday the Guinean Minister of Health and Public Hygiene.

The number of deaths is meanwhile increased from 113 to 144 dead, including 64 officially cured, said Colonel Remy Lamah. Five new cases were recorded Kissdiougou.

On this, the Guinean Minister of Health has challenged the efforts of neighboring countries in the fight against this epidemic. "Today, the problem that Guinea has is this cross-border situation with our friendly countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia. We are very concerned about these areas because most of our patients come from these areas because these countries do not have officially declared themselves the epidemic. Most of our patients come from Sierra Leone and Liberia "hammered Colonel Remy Lamah.
...
As for the appearance of this epidemic in Upper Guinea, the Minister is adamant: "Kouroussa, the situation is under control."

The declaration of the prefectural director in the locality was unfounded , says the minister adding that no cases have been detected in this area. Note that the latter was fired from her post by the high hierarchy said last week, our colleague from africaguinee.

Concern in Guinea after rising cases of Ebola in West Africa.

Thursday, June 19, 2014 9:14 AFP

CONAKRY, June 19, 2014 (AFP) - An increase in cases of hemorrhagic fever, partly due to Ebola virus, Thursday aroused concern of people in Guinea, the most affected by the epidemic who also affects Sierra Leone and neighboring Liberia.

No official comment about it , however, could be obtained by AFP as of Thursday afternoon.

"This Ebola matter is rather worrying. We do not know what to expect. Sometimes we are told that Ebola is (contained), and sometimes you learn it reappeared in other villages or urban centers" told to AFP Mamady Traor?, a trader met in the suburbs of Conakry.

Abdoulaye Barry, a taxi driver, said that "the government can do nothing against the disease."
