Mired in grief and indignation, Juan Zamora Tavares, father of the child and other relatives attended the funeral charged that IMSS doctors who treated him initially after having acted negligently discharged without taking the time to accurately diagnose the causes of the disease that ultimately caused the death of the child.

"I have a shitload of courage, my son was my whole life and took it from me ... the doctors did not know what to put disease, said first measles is not true that they are trained," reproached the man in the midst of tears repressed.

Rodolfo Gael said, died in the midst of intense fever, aches and rash on various parts of her body, all five hours after being discharged from the IMSS.

About Fifth Disease

Fifth disease is actually just a viral illness that most kids recover from quickly and without complications.
Fifth disease (also called erythema infectiosum) is caused by parvovirus B19. A human virus, parvovirus B19 is not the same parvovirus that veterinarians may be concerned about in pets, especially dogs, and it cannot be passed from humans to animals or vice versa.
. . .

Fifth disease occurs everywhere in the world. Outbreaks tend to happen in the late winter and early spring, but there can be sporadic cases of the disease throughout the year.

Signs and Symptoms

Fifth disease begins with a low-grade fever, headache, and mild cold-like symptoms (a stuffy or runny nose). These symptoms pass, and the illness seems to be gone until a rash appears a few days later.

The bright red rash usually begins on the face. Several days later, the rash spreads and red blotches (usually lighter in color) extend down to the trunk, arms, and legs. The rash usually spares the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. As the centers of the blotches begin to clear, the rash takes on a lacy net-like appearance. Kids younger than 10 years old are most likely to get the rash.
. . .

Other symptoms that sometimes occur with fifth disease include swollen glands, red eyes, sore throat, diarrhea, and rarely, rashes that look like blisters or bruises. . . .

Re: Within hours, unidentified virus kills child, four infected

Very interesting. There is no vaccine for Fifth Disease, so if contacts were given a flu vaccine, they might also be suspecting an influenza co-infection. Fifth Disease is rarely fatal. There was a large H1N1 outbreak in Chihuahua last year:

That said, Fifth Disease can look enough like measles that people might have been given measles vaccine as a precaution.

Chihuahua cold diseases increase by 100%

Every day about 100 children have medical consultation in each of the hospitals of the IMSS in the state

Coria Carlos Rivas, a correspondent


Chihuahua, Chih., December 25 .- The low temperatures and snow and ice storms increased respiratory disease in Chihuahua up to 100 percent, according to Social Security.

Every day, about 100 children are taken to medical consultation in each of the IMSS hospitals, caused by the harsh cold.

Low temperatures also caused the breakup of thousands of water pipes that freeze collapsed, causing the waste of millions of gallons of liquid life, mainly in capital Chihuahua, Ciudad Ju?rez, Cuauht?moc and Parral.

The IMSS reported that with the decrease in temperature, increased respiratory infections, so that specialists from the Institute insisted to the insured population, and in general, extreme measures of prevention, especially among children under one year, one to five years and adults over 65 years.

Data from IMSS in Ciudad Juarez indicate that the incidence of acute respiratory infections were placed in two thousand 500 cases last week, which represented a growth of 15 percent of the total consultations are granted on this ground in all family medicine, and up to 100 percent in cases of children who are registered in the areas of pediatric observation of the three hospitals.

Children and older adults represent over 30 percent of cases of acute respiratory infections are addressed and that just by being at the extremes of life, their defenses are lower and therefore are more exposed to after suffering a infection, can complicate the extent of pneumonia.

Of the two thousand 500 cases of respiratory infections IMSS records the last week, the majority of which were rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, health problems that are solved in the primary care level, ie in family medicine, both in consultation with the family doctor or modules in ongoing care.

While the areas of pediatric emergency medical general hospitals in zone 6 and 35 and Regional General Hospital 66, are presented on average about 100 children a day for respiratory problems also for the most part, once they are kept under observation, are discharged.

Those who have a major problem as bronchiolitis, remain hospitalized.

Preventive measures are: the protection from sudden temperature changes that cause them to face decreasing the body's defenses and allow the entry of viruses and bacteria found in the environment.

Cover the cold and avoid as much as possible indoors go to high concentration of people, which facilitate infection
