Measles/dengue threat to Paraguay, warn

Itaugu? (Delvalle Antonia Castillo, a correspondent). Paraguay supports a dengue epidemic, and without extreme care could also go with a measles outbreak. The Ministry of Health of Argentina issued an "epidemiological alert."

The president of the National Hospital Medical Itaugu?, Dr. C?sar Ismael Zorrilla, said that while the Government cut the budget for public health, we face a threat of an epidemic of measles. "In the middle of dengue epidemic, we have another to-door if we are not careful," he said.

He said the Ministry of Health of Argentina issued an "epidemic alert" to the appearance of two positive cases of the disease in the town of El Bolson, R?o province.

According to history, in 2009, during the launch of a vaccination campaign in Fernando de la Mora, Dr. Jose Antonio Mayans had warned that measles is 20 times more deadly than H1N1.

Paraguay had its last major measles epidemic in 1993.

Public Health Minister, Dr. Esperanza Martinez, had announced to the press in June 2010 that Paraguay could receive, in October of that year, an international recognition as certified as free of measles and rubella. However, coincidentally, in October after 12 years of absence, illness failed a native of the village baby Tres Palmas in the Philadelphia area (Chaco), but controlled the outbreak by stepping up the vaccination campaign in place.

The press in October 2010 also echoed the appearance of other cases in South America, as the five confirmed cases of measles in Salta (Argentine Chaco), where one patient was infected during the World Cup in South Africa. Another 100 cases were confirmed at the time in Brazil.
