Re: Unknown illness kills 5 children in Ukrainian orphanage - heat, ARI, rotavirus suspected
The translation is a bit rough here, but with rotavirus confirmed, this is a compund outbreak. It looks like the heat was the main driving factor.
No clue what agent is responsible for the ARI, though.
I believe the title should translate as something closer to "Virus could not have killed the children, but heat could have".
Medics: "Children could not kill the virus, but could"
In death Nizhin doctors blame the heat, and law enforcers check the blame doctors. The virus put in the hospital for 15 pupils Nezhinsky boarding school for children with central nervous system, before that, as we wrote, five died. Told "Today" head of the press service of Ministry of Internal Affairs Sergei Chernigov oblupravleniya Bryl, Nezhinskaya prosecutors opened a criminal case immediately on two articles of the Criminal Code (one of them - "improper performance of duties of health professionals"). The case was opened into the death of children, respectively, the detainees yet. If there are guilty and found guilty, they face up to three years in prison.
Yesterday it became known to the first causes of the tragedy. According to Nezhin doctors have discovered several children pneumonia and rotavirus ("intestinal flu"). "These children are not in themselves very well. We found several rotavirus, other pneumonia. The presence of the disease plus a strong thermal regime played a role - the brain of these children react to any changes. Now their condition is improving, already eat, perhaps to the environment someone even write down ", - told us zavinfektsionnym office Ludmila Shumkov.
. "People, children have been weakened, but this was not due to poor nutrition. Perhaps the role played really hot - told "Today" is one of the medics dispatched to Nezhin from Kiev to study the situation. - If not for her, the consequences probably would be less dire. According to the Kiev physician, there is no danger to the city: "spent a quarantine in a boarding all washed, wash and proglazheno. "In addition to children from the orphanage, to us no one else did" - told to us by an infectious diseases doctor Nezhin city hospital Natalia Borushkevich. The final diagnosis, what is still sick and died from what Nezhin disabilities, experts will make a two weeks later.
. Inhabitants. For local residents about the death of children their opinions. "In those days, when they died in the beautiful ancient city was a thick smog.
