November 17, 2011 | Category: National | Written by: People and Society
Antonio Carlos Alvarez, director of the Office of Epidemiology Diresa Loreto, said that the victim is an 18-year-old, who died at the Regional Hospital of Loreto.
"It got to hospital last Thursday from the town of Indiana, located just one hour away by speedboat from the city of Iquitos, with a severe respiratory disease, so initially it was thought to pneumonia," he explained.
The blood of the young, but tested positive for hantavirus, transmitted by mice and rats in the field contaminated with their droppings and urine to enter the houses, he said to Andina.
In the new case, called on the public Diresa from Iquitos to take action with regard to proper sanitation of their homes to prevent rodent entry, and the use of masks while cleaning indoors for long.
He mentioned that the first two cases of hantavirus death occurred in the months of July and August. They were two women of 29 and 31, respectively.
