A new confirmed case of Ebola recorded in Conakry
Date: 03/09/2015 12:51 in: Kabanews
A confirmed case of Ebola has been registered in the district of Dar-es-salam in Conakry. It is the daughter of a woman who died of the virus that has developed the disease. According Fode Sylla Tass, the communication officer of the National Response Coordination Ebola, that case was followed by [their] services
Following the contamination of the lady, contacts were vaccinated with VSV-ZEBOV (an experimental vaccine that has proven 100% effective, according to results of a test conducted among more than 4,000 people in Guinea) to the exception of the one who has just developed the disease. The decision not to administer the vaccine - because of her age of 13 year old - was taken by doctors.
From now on, the coordination intends to make adjustment to prevent any new contamination: all persons in contact with a case will be vaccinated, including children. Fod? Tass is certain that if she had been treated "like the other family members, she would not have developed the disease."
This announcement ends several days without further contamination in the country which Guinea had registered last week. To date, four patients including two confirmed cases are treated at CTE (Ebola treatment center) of Nongo in Conakry. As for Forecariah (one of the two locations where the last cases of subsistence were listed), there are no more patients.
A new case diagnosed in Sierra Leone
Last August 24, Sierra Leone had announced with great fanfare that the last patient on its territory was out of the hospital. The news was met with great hope for the total and close eradication of the disease there. But in recent times, a new confirmed case was diagnosed in the Kambia area north of the country, border with Guinea.
Guinea offers help
After announcing the "return" of the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone - one of the three countries most affected by the disease -, Guinea offers assistance through the important quantity of dose of VSV- ZEBOV vaccine that she has. In the coming hours, medical delegations will travel there with this vaccine to cut the chain of contamination.
