Updated: Saturday, 08/07/2010 | 11:08:10 morning
Newspaper reporters learn Peace and recording disease status "pangolin drunk drunk" at a neighbor Sesame Binh Chan
(HBDT) - A day of every month, we are present at the clinic Binh Chan, Lac Son districts. Both stations have six staff but only one color Bui Thi, midwives standing at the station, took to the remaining villages to care, treatment for patients infected with "drunk drunk pangolin ".
Occasions she was seven-color as "nearly three months and then we do not have days off, the whole society has 128 people in 4 / 10 neighbors of this confusing disease. Missing persons, missing drug hundred hard surface. "
Patients' pangolin drunk drunk "
start coming in Binh Chan from 1 / 5 [May 1?]. So nearly three months through dozens of homes in the neighborhood Watch 1, Long 1, 1 Sesame, Sesame 2, branch a sick dive music because of illness. The air is heavy, anxious to cover everyone's face throughout the village.
The road led us down a neighbor Sesame, Bui Thi Khuong, head of commune health stations, said: "Lo he really the right, in 2007 and earlier epidemic broke out, even society has over 10 deaths , a family has lost two relatives of the disease "Pangolin drunk drunk." In 2008, a temporary lull in 2009, is now coming back, all resistance to accrue service. Only to fight this disease alone, due to unknown causes and origins of disease, transmission mechanisms should not know any way that room. "
Had learned from previous years, when people infected health by focusing treatment regimens including intravenous fluids, injections or pills B1, B6 and calcium. But nearly three months, lack of medication is a problem that team doctors here are very disturbed, embarrassed. Ms Jiang said: "
whole society has 128 cases of infection, but only get 2 stations at the provincial and district support with a total of 40 bottle service, bottle 250 B1, B6 150 vials, 30 and 70 tubes of calcium blisters. The number of drugs that must be considered for sen to treat the illness. Looking to buy out remaining, the remote village of the district even more difficult re-stacked "
Our research we know,
who have the disease symptoms are quite similar, meaning that patients naturally tired, tired limbs numbness, fatigue joint pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, have a field isolated collapse of the eyelids, jaw muscles to perform poorly, fear of water, mud ... But fear of the disease symptoms at each other, then the headache before, people are numb and tired limbs before they found someone breathing chest before, so many people do not know what being infected. For example the case of batteries in a neighborhood cultural Bui Sesame're a natural herd that hard scalp pain, dizziness, vertigo rush home. Do not know the house is infected "pangolin drunk drunk" but guess blood brain fever so hastily put up by private clinics doctors emergency town district. Unknown doctors treated more than 800,000 medicines but all the same the next day back home and rest even then match legs, arms still sore joints fatigue "
Those who have expertise in Binh Chan also does not explain the mechanism of the spread of the disease. Bui Van Quan family in a neighborhood Sesame has eight demographic questions, the seven people, making both of hardships. Mr. Bui Van Ngu, family members said: "When that is infected" pangolin, drunk drunk "is not put together any other way to commune health therapy. Infusion medium, medium shot and also taking 6-7 days off from 85,000 VND / person. State has lost seven people had to spend over 600,000 VND, equivalent to 130 kg of paddy. With my family it was a big money here because income from farming, mainly. "
Like his military family, Ms. Bui Thi Than households in the neighborhood sesame 2, you get strawberries yesterday, said after his decrepit husband because "Pangolin drunk drunk" after a week of treatment at commune health stations have also 170,000 drug money spent, worth nearly four grain oats. Than she said, the disease makes us very puzzled, not only affects health, money to buy expensive drugs, but also upset daily life, life, work. Adults are no health problems to production workers, children get to school and can not play anymore. Also submit payment of health anxiety has not spread the disease to know when you have won and almost out of time to care for themselves, should have more poor and more poor "
Disease "Pangolin drunk drunk" not new but still very strange to not only people but also of physicians, scientists from the district and provincial level to central level.
The disease does not exclude anyone from young to old, from male to female, but the incidence of most age from 20-50, the workforce of each family. Several working groups were surveyed about Binh Chan, find out. Soil samples, water samples, leaves for testing. Especially, the Central Academy of Pediatrics has time to commune about 10 patients in both treatment institute for research recently ... But to date, still undetermined cause and origin of this disease is causing what. Nearly three months, the health sector in general and Leshan health Binh Chan in particular efforts to combat the epidemic. The number of people infected and were treated daily tracking update.
Now, people are still anxious Binh Chan, anxious, tired of the disease "pangolin drunk drunk." "We welcome all levels and sectors of interest to support people with medicines. In particular, agencies, research scientists soon find out the root cause of this disease to take measures to prevent and treat the root. Having such a stable new life to feel productive labor economic development for poverty reduction. " His mind Bui Van Nhan, head of Sesame neighbor is also the aspiration of the two committees, the government and people of Binh Chan before this evil monster disease.
