Hemorrhagic fever - Growing concern in Macenta Prefecture
...
Speaking on the antennae of the RTG this Monday, August 18, 2014, Dr. Sakoba Keita, a member of the National Commission response against Ebola, suggested that anxiety is still growing in Macenta because of the arrival, in waves, of patients neighboring Liberia. "Admittedly, every day, there are two to three cases in addition. But now anxiety and major concerns of the National Commission response against Ebola are located along the borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone, "said Dr. Sakoba Keita.

He explained that currently, "Macenta who remained silent for more than two months, began to have a lot of suspects. And Macenta may exceed, at this pace Gu?ck?dou which was the main focus in terms of new cases reported in the last two weeks. "The reasons, according to Dr. Keita, on the side of Liberia, the strategies implemented in Guinea are not harmonized with that country. Which means that the center of Foyah (Liberia) is exceeded by the number of patients, he said. Dr Sakoba Keita announced nearly 45 confirmed cases and more than 75 contacts in this center. "It is beyond the capacity of the center. And the surplus risk of trying to come to Guinea especially if they are from Guinea, to receive better care, "he has said.

Dr. Keita has announced that measures are being taken especially in relation to Macenta, Yomou and N'Z?r?kor? so that those who arrive, without rejecting them, are subject to the usual procedures and cut of all contact with other populations to avoid aggravating the spread of the disease.

He also said that no reluctance is observed on site thanks to the support of the President of the National Assembly who left with MPs and met every community leaders and sages for sensitization. An action that helped overcome the 26 villages who were reluctant and had even cut the bridge said Dr. Sakoba Keita.

He nevertheless said that the reluctance was due to the fact that the agents were directly taking action without respect of the customary rules who would have the stranger to address the village chief before undertaking any action.
...
The epidemiological situation of Ebola fever in Guinea dated as of August 18, 2014, according to the authorities reported 53 new cases, 26 confirmed cases, 27 suspected cases, one death in Gu?ck?dou and 836 contacts that are to follow.

Ebola virus: re-emergence of new cases in Guinea

Category: Foreign Press
Published Monday, August 18, 2014 11:45
Written by PANA

The resurgence of the Ebola virus in some areas of Guinea remains "an emerging concern" of the health authorities of the country, told PANA Saturday, the head of the Division of Disease Prevention Department of Health, Dr. Sakhoba Keita.

Area Faranah in Upper Guinea, he says, suddenly became "a major concern" because of the massive return of many Guineans in Sierra Leone and neighboring Liberia, also affected by Ebola.

"These new patients have returned to the fold before taking the national health emergency decision by the head of state (...). We record an average of two to three new cases per day, patients who come along the border between the two neighboring countries, "he said.

Macenta prefecture in Guinea Forest (South) which left the first case in January, which, he said, made two months without new cases has become "the main focus" of new cases that also found in the towns of Youmou and Gu?ck?dou in the same region.

It states that 45 cases were confirmed in Macenta and 75 confirmed contacts. As of August 14, 515 confirmed cases were reported in the country, while 378 patients have died and 18 are under observation in hospitals in Conakry, Siguiri and N'Z?r?kor? in the southern region.

The head of the Ministry of Health ensures that "practical and robust measures" were taken to cut the chain of transmission. Patients will no longer return to their homes, but must be sent to treatment centers and those who oppose it, as stated in the text of the decree establishing a national health emergency, will be prosecuted and brought before courts.

Taxi drivers making long trips, he says, are increasingly affected by the disease, as was the case recently in Siguiri (South West) and N'Z?r?kor? where drivers have embarked sick.

A young driver-mechanic 25 years Dubr?ka capita, about 60 km from the capital, would have gone sick of Sierra Leone in early August and will die of Ebola fever diagnosed, told by officials of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), hundreds of experts and other workers in Guinea since the beginning of the epidemic.

"Forty people quarantined Dubr?ka and that during the 21 days of the incubation period during which they will be monitored by doctors who specialize in the fight against Ebola," said Dr. Keita.

The decree establishing the National Health Emergency taken last Wednesday, stressed the erection of checkpoints at the borders, prompting health authorities to allow at least 41 next week. Health workers and security forces that will be deployed will receive hygiene kits available for their protection.

Medical teams consult all passengers at borders with Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Senegal and Mali.

Given the extent of the disease that need awareness campaigns, the government has decided to involve traditional communicators to increase awareness about the dangers of the disease, as well as preventive measures to be observed.

Dr. Keita ensures that announcements of the World Organization (WHO) at the recent Summit of Heads of State of the Mano River Union (Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and C?te d'Ivoire), held in Conakry disburse 100 million USD and those of the World Bank, 200 million USD in the USA / Africa Summit in Washington are not yet implemented, while the disease continues to wreak havoc in the three countries .

The Ebola virus, family Filoviridae says it does, is a hemorrhagic disease that causes death in 50-90% of patients with clinical manifestations.

The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with blood, secretions, organs or bodily fluids of infected persons.

Recall that the Ebola is often characterized by a sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.

This is often followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, kidney and liver failure, and internal and external bleeding.

Laboratory analysis says do you reveal a decline in WBC and platelets as well as elevated liver enzymes.

There is no treatment and no specific vaccine against Ebola virus. Several vaccine candidates are being tested.

Ebola virus disease update - west Africa

Disease outbreak news
22 August 2014

Epidemiology and surveillance

Between 19 and 20 August 2014, a total of 142 new cases of Ebola virus disease (laboratory-confirmed, probable, and suspect cases) as well as 77 deaths were reported from Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.

Health sector response

Questions have been received in WHO Headquarters about the original proposed budget for the response and the new draft budget, which is being reviewed by partners. The increase in needed resources is based on improved data and understanding of the situation on the ground in the affected countries. The new estimation of costs is derived using a unit-cost model, built for the most intense transmission areas and reflects the average operational costs based on the current situation in the affected countries. The major assumptions for the cost estimates will be announced towards the end of next week.

WHO continues to receive reports of rumoured or suspected cases from countries around the world and systematic verification of these cases is ongoing. Countries are encouraged to continue engaging in active surveillance and preparedness activities. As of today, no new cases have been confirmed outside of Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, or Sierra Leone.

WHO does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions be applied except in cases where individuals have been confirmed or are suspected of being infected with EVD or where individuals have had contact with cases of EVD. (Contacts do not include properly-protected health-care workers and laboratory staff.) Temporary recommendations from the Emergency Committee with regard to actions to be taken by countries can be found at:

Ebola in Gu?ck?dou: "We are overwhelmed, the center can not hold any more patients arriving"

Guineenews received this Saturday, August 23, 2014 the call from a health worker, disheartened and worried that wanted to testify about the influx of patients in the center of management of Ebola patients in Gu?ck?dou. This is the testimony of the officer who requested anonymity:

"We are overwhelmed here. The Gu?ck?dou center can no longer hold patients who arrive. Until this morning (note Saturday, August 23, 2014), the two patients from N'Z?r?kor? have not yet been unloaded because there is a space problem. I saw staff of the Centre spray the vehicle transporting them, but patients are still not admitted.

The real side of the story is that today, there is an influx of patients to the treatment center of Ebola in Gu?ck?dou. We have more than 60 cases including 40 confirmed cases. And we just lost one of our friends on August 21 a hygienist at the community level, after contracting the virus. T
here is another case which is already confirmed and who is admitted to the center. This is a person raising public awareness in the community.

When I hear the government communicate, I am disheartened. The center has just ordered 700 beds. So for the moment, it is not easy to control the situation. Remember; when you have 60 cases, it means that there are at least over 100 contacts to follow. Gu?ck?dou is called the epicenter for Upper Guinea and Forest Guinea. So all those who come from these two regions are routed to Gu?ck?dou. Two patients from Dabola were admitted here.

We need the government to be responsable.. We know that the government does not want to scare investors, but he forgets that the institutions that are on place here provide daily reports. But we can not provide this information without permission.

You know the basic problem, all the patients who come from the side of the Forest, came from Liberia and Sierra Leone. And it is not easy because they are virtually parents who come from these countries and that people can not send back.. They arrive in a clandestine manner.

What is still important today is that there is no more reluctance here. Currentlyit is the people who are admitted to the center who call parents to tell them to come to this center because the conditions in which they find themselves are good. But what is unfortunate is that the situation had started to calm down, but now it dropped in Gu?ck?dou, Macenta and Yomou because of the arrival of the patients from the side of Liberia and Sierra Leone.

I also inform you that the prefectural ambulance driver in Gu?ck?dou died three days ago. Here's a little of the situation in Gu?ck?dou . People had said that the disease is for people of Gu?ck?dou. Now today if the patients who come are not from Gueckedou, it can trivially create a general anger. That is why we have serious problems to welcome those who come from elsewhere. So we are very concerned for the moment. "

Ebola in Guinea: Several new positive cases with one death confirmed at la Cimenterie

Conakry - Despite the introduction of a state health emergency in Guinea , the Ebola virus continues to claim victims. An Ebola patient from within the country died in a hospital in Conakry and then was buried in la Cimenterie by her parents, learned Africaguinee.com.

At la Cimenterie, a district located in the periphery of the Guinean capital Conakry, a sick woman from inland, died of Ebola virus. She was hospitalized at Camp Samory since Aug. 8 where she died. She was buried in la Cimenterie by the family without the help of health worker. According to our information it was after the funeral that health services have confirmed that she had died of Ebola. In her family four new cases of Ebola have been identified. A doctor who has treated her at the hospital was also confirmed positive for the deadly virus.

It is what confirmed the head of prevention and fight against the disease division at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, Dr Sakoba Keita; 'four people in the family and a doctor at Camp Samory were positive for viral hemorrhagic fever Ebola', confirms the doctor, who also added that a death has just been recorded in Coronthie. Here too, the parents brought the body to Macenta.

The president has declared a state of emergency in the country to stop the spread of the Ebola virus, which has killed 409 people since it first appeared earlier this year. But everything suggests that this measure suffers from a lack of enforcement today. Health officials lament the reluctance of citizens who continue to hide patients suffering from Ebola in their families.

Ebola: Guinea explains how the virus was taken to Senegal

Saturday, making the point on the epidemic of hemorrhagic fever, Guinea has also spoken on the export of the virus in neighboring Senegal. It all started last August 8, according to the National Committee for response to Ebola.

Primary, a Guinean student at the university "General Lansana Cont? Sonfonia", one of two public universities in the capital. On August 08, the student had contact, in For?cariah (town on the border of Sierra Leone), with his younger brother from Sierra Leone. The latter died on August 10 in the village of Laya (For?cariah), and his funeral was held the day after his death.

August 15, 2014, the student has left Guinea for Senegal for a vacation.

Already motherless

Investigations conducted in the family have made ​​it possible to understand that the mother began to show signs of Ebola, five days after the death of her son. And she was hospitalized at the district hospital of For?cariah August 22 2014. It is following her hospitalization that the center of treatment of Ebola in Conakry was alerted. On 26 August, a team was dispatched. The mother and four members of her family were transferred to the treatment centre the same day. Unfortunately, she succumbed to the disease on August 27. One of her daughters will follow her the next day.

Another of her daughter presenting compatible signs had a negative sample. But in-depth testing are underway. By cons, according to the Response Committee two of her brothers who had positive samples are currently isolated at the Ebola treatment center . And contacts are being identified.

The journey in private clinics of 5 deceased Ebola victims in Conakry: This is how the virus is spreading in our country!

Post by Guineematin 30 - August - 2014
...
Guineematin.com recounts , below the path of 5 Ebola victims in various clinics in Conakry!

A mission of the regional health directorate of Labe has visited Friday in Koula Mawnd? in the sub-prefecture of N'diari for an awareness session and identification of individuals '' contact '' following 5 deaths recorded in the family of former villagers in the district of Cimenterie of Conakry, learned Guineematin.com

According to the Regional Director of Health of Labe, Dr. Houdy Well, the first victim of Ebola in this family, the child of 6 years old was buried on August 13 by the community of citizens of Koula Mawnd? in Conakry. The cause of his death was not known to the general public.

Yet he had been admitted to a private clinic in Conakry for treatment. His health becoming increasingly serious, the attending physician was content to ask the parents to drive te child themselves to Donka instead of directly alert his colleagues from the isolation center that could bring immediately the ambulance of the Red Cross to limit contact.

...After leaving the clinic, the uncle who was carrying the child on his shoulders would have torn the paper that refered them to Donka and suggested to return quietly at home where they would have nothing to explain to anyone.

After the funeral of the first victim of the family, a few days later, it was this uncle who showed signs of the disease, the same day of the burial of his nephew. This case as well has escaped the doctor who followed him in private. But, his death which happened on the evening of Wednesday, August 27 had intrigued another family member who began to feel unwell. The latter also went to another private clinic in Conakry. When the doctor who received him told him that his case was not serious, he confessed immediately that his family had already recorded two deaths. Without success. He will be withheld until his health worsens. He passed away on the road to Donka hospital in a taxi.

Meanwhile, another family member spoke to a doctor from Labe on duty at Donka hospital. Again, the diagnosis was completely falsified. It is when he died during the day of Thursday, August 28 that the child's father went straight, himself to the isolation center of Donka where he passed away on Friday morning . And so we had recorded the fifth death in the family.

...At Koula Mawnd?, health officials of Labe have found this Friday, August 29, that is to say 16 days after the first death recorded in the family, two persons from Conakry who attended the funeral of the 6 year old chilld. It is one of them also who descended into the grave with a malink? to lay the child's body.

... Immediately after the funeral, that senior took the road to Senegal on board of a taxi. Blocked at the crossing border because of the closure of the border with Senegal, he stayed a few days with his parents in the urban commune of Koundara before coming to Koula Mawnd? also by taxi.

...After his meeting with the health authorities of Labe, he had the opportunity and the freedom to take another taxi last night (Friday) to return to Conakry before the end of the incubation period calculated from the date of August 13 .

The second that remained in Koula was simply told to report to the health center of the village until the end of the incubation period.

While other family members stayed in Conakry were eventually quarantined by the isolation center in Donka, we must recognize that everything happens as if the epidemic in Guinea is far from Ebola.
