Third mysteriously died from bacteria
Home, National Home June 18, 2011
TEGUCIGALPA .- A 18 year old yesterday became the third person to die in the Maternal and Child Hospital in Tegucigalpa, the victim of a mysterious bacteria, presumably Escherichia coli (E. coli).


This is the house where the brothers lived infected.
The unfortunate Selvin Leonel Benitez native community of San Ignacio, Siguatepeque, Comayagua, is the third of four children died adolescents who were hospitalized last week on suspicion of carrying the disease.

The teenager died yesterday at about 10:00 in the morning after four days of hospitalization, and expired two days before his sisters Jessica Sarai Benitez (11) and Fanny Benitez Rosario (14).

The children were admitted to the emergency hospital complex capital with symptoms of vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever, typical of the E.coli bacteria.

However, the fourth child of eight years is hospitalized in the intermediate care ward with strict medical supervision to prevent his death.

Maria Sanchez's aunt whom has children in hospital care, said his nephews are not people who eat street foods, but unexpectedly began to vomit and then worsened.


Samuel Benitez, uncle of the deceased.
"We know that children do not eat anything because the mom gives them food in the house, but do not go to church, but we are hoping that doctors tell us what was the illness that killed them," said Sanchez.

The woman said she now only pray that the little eight-year hospitalized, can recover.

As Efrain Benitez, a relative of the deceased in the community explained that "we are not clear what is going on because they say the water is bad and they first had fever, diarrhea and vomiting but first became ill on Friday 10 and the other on Tuesday, 14 this month. "

DIAGNOSIS

For his part, infectious Teaching Hospital, Tito Alvarado, said it is difficult to ensure that it is the same disease that is affecting Germany, as in Honduras no inputs to diagnose the bacteria E.coli.


The technicians will study the water in this place where they wash clothes and dishes in kitchen.
"In Honduras occasionally have this disease, but the U.S. does epidemics have occurred many years ago with the serotype H-157 and now in Germany, but there's no way to make these diagnoses," said Alvarado.

The expert said that in Tegucigalpa there is only one private clinic in doing these studies, "which are based on antisera, but the state does not have these inputs because there is a high demand for the disease.

But the bacteria can be treated by bacteria such as diarrhea amilob?cter, echemela, salmonella, or amilob?cter pleyomona that are transmitted through contaminated water and food producing bloody diarrhea that kills the person.

All people have the bacteria E.coli, but it's something your body needs, but when it comes to serotype H-157 which is transmitted bacterial diseases are those that cause death.
