Re: Venezuela - Nine dead in Maracay Central Hospital by unidentified illness - Aragua state
Of course, each patient should be tested for each illness separately. There is no guarantee that they all have the same illness. But there are several fatalities here that may be difficult to explain as routine illnesses:

Franklin Fossi, 41 years old, was married and had 4 children, one newborn. Died yesterday at the Central Hospital of Maracay, in Aragua. Yuly Fossi not yet out of perplexity by the speed with which events occurred: he said that last Tuesday his brother began to feel fever and body aches. He was taken to the institution with the suspicion that he had a disease that has become common in Arague?o territory chikungunya.
"We were there until 2:00 in the morning, was five hours. He was discharged and Wednesday seemed to be improving. On Thursday worsened, and it was when I moved back to HCM and isolated, "he said in a telephone interview with The National. Since then, he remained in the recovery room, where I could only enter authorized personnel. "They spent the nurses and doctors with masks, all covered with boots and gloves."
Yuly Fossi said that in hospital mild rash that had aggravated his brother was into large purple sores.
Wilmer Fossi, also brother of the deceased, said the deterioration occurred very quickly, "It was a matter of days. We learned that bounced when coughing and had blood stains. "
The patient's mother was one of the few family members could visit. "When my mom saw this and was intubated. After he entered the hospital he had infection in the lung. And he did not come with problems cough "explained Sister.
The hospital asked the family Fossi help to get drugs. On Saturday night the website of the radio online Radiofonik published a notice of public service: "To hospitalized in the emergency area of HCM (Franklin Fossi) patient is in the area of resuscitation is needed urgently Paracetamol Infalgam or intravenous. "The medicine was donated by a person who had in his house.
They also had to support the HCM with laboratory tests and medical supplies. "The reviews were almost all out of the hospital, there is no reagents. They put a tube and had to find the urine collectors. "
Accurate diagnosis of the condition of Franklin Fossi has not yet arrived. Among the tests performed is a blood culture that you are still waiting. "On Saturday, a doctor who came to see my brother all he told me was that first and then asking God to let him into the hands of doctors until we knew what was wrong. But we were never told. Never got a diagnosis of what was my brother, "lamented Yuly Fossi.
The death certificate lists the cause of death was "acute respiratory distress type 1", an explanation that does not satisfy everyone.
Studies
Wilmer Fossi expects the National Institute of Hygiene Rafael Rangel give them the results of the studies. "Anyway we in the funeral home where we will ensure, to take samples sent for tests by us and to really know what he had."
Yuly Fossi also wants reasons for death are clarified: "My brother was fine and it was contaminated in the hospital. We need this to get because Governor Tarek el Aissami said nothing happens. We do not know what is happening. "
Studies
The Medical College of Aragua and the Venezuelan Society of Public Health's request Fossi relatives were shared so that the authorities release the results of medical tests that help to clarify the picture. Angel Sarmiento, president of the regional medical association, on Thursday reported the deaths of eight patients in the hospital for a febrile haemorrhagic syndrome of unknown cause. The governor denied the allegations and attributed to a terrorist campaign, which called for a criminal investigation.
"Our task is to pressure the hygiene institute to give the results, because since last week have samples," Feder said Alvarez, secretary of the College of Physicians of Aragua. To date, the Health Ministry has not issued official position on the case of Maracay.
Alvarez said that a blood culture may take 8 days to be analyzed, but at 72 hours it is possible to cut growth that yields a preliminary result. Similarly, he indicated that viral tests can take between 5 and 7 days, and serology for dengue 48 to 72 hours. "To start today should be working."
Ana Carvajal, epidemiologist, urged the Ministry of Health to ensure that adequate protection measures are taken until one knows how to cope with the disease and asked the office to give information about the cases.
