www.chinaview.cn 2009-08-05 13:14:34

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Mexican government on Tuesday urged its citizens to combat dengue fever, a mosquito-borne tropical virus that causes muscle pain, internal bleeding and death.

Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordoba Villalobos urged the public to avoid standing water in abandoned cars and garbage, which attracts mosquitoes, and to keep houses clean.

He also asked Mexicans to report to the health authorities immediately if they show any symptoms of dengue.

The disease is threatening the lives of thousands of Mexicans. Some 8,895 cases of dengue have been confirmed by Sunday, compared to a total of 10,400 cases registered last year, Cordoba Villalobos told local radio.

Many state authorities have issued virus alerts to local residents, including Colima, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Puebla, San Luis Potosi and the state of Mexico.

Sanitary enclosures were set up in Gorda mountain range in Queretaro state. Residents of several other states have launched yard and roof cleaning campaigns to combat the disease.

Lancet examines dengue fever in Mexico
24. August 2009 00:16

Lancet World Report examines the factors contributing to a steady uptick in the number of dengue fever cases in Mexico over the past decade. Compared to the year 2000, when "there were 1,781 reported cases ? Last year, the number totalled 33,000, according to Mexico's Public Health Department. And confirmed cases this year have already surpassed 2008 figures by 15%," according to the journal.

Mexico's "vast tropical regions" and densely populated urban areas make the country an "ideal spot for dengue fever." Some health experts also say "the rise in global commerce and tourism is one of the main factors, along with climate change, as a root cause of the disease's expansion." Experts also point to the recent movement of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the carrier of the disease, into more Mexican states (21 of 31 states) and to higher altitudes.

The article includes information on how large-scale mosquito eradication and education programs underway in Mexico are trying to reduce the incidence of the disease (Cuddehe, 8/22).

Despite the symptoms, he was told the test results were negative
"Dengue arrived alone and only leaves", they told young man who died last month

We do not know what she died, until two or three months we will inform family members say


"Dengue just comes and goes alone," he said Tere, a young woman aged 29 who died on August 28 after presenting dengue-like symptoms such as fatigue, headache and joint and that after touring several clinics of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), completed his ride in one of the many beds of the Western National Medical Center, leaving three orphaned children and uncertainty among his family, who still unclear what had caused his death.

20 days ago, Tere's family history was completely different. When you get work, "recalled his mother, Mrs. Estela, Tere was devoted to her children, a six year old girl and two boys, aged eight and 10 years.

She did not hurt anything, never complained about anything, had no illness, but in the second week of August, his life took a turn, a strong headache was the first symptom. Then, fatigue and joint pain, the woman said, with tears in his eyes asked health authorities support and understanding, and said: "Tere was all I had," more than a week of your death still unknown what had happened, no diagnosis, do not know why he died, and what they want is help, due to the uncertainty that his death was caused by contagious or infectious disease affecting more members of the family.

"They gave us many versions, but it did not give us a diagnosis, and is what we know, because if I had something infectious, we must inform the family and more children," said his mother, who is still waiting call IMSS specialists who undertook to tell when they were progress in investigations of the case of the young.

Tere not had the flu, did not hurt his eyes are common symptoms of influenza or dengue fever, said his mother, aware of both diseases after her daughter fell into bed, but his head and muscle aches worsened and interned in the Ayala Hospital, where attention was not very favorable. "They isolated us as he did the studies to know whether it was dengue or influenza, plague, and we were like, ugly, or even brought him to eat."

After receiving the results, it says were negative for both diseases, "the doctor was discharged from the hospital Ayala antibiotic, because for him, wore heavily infected ganglia, because carrying a bolotas in his throat. We came (from the hospital Ayala), went to his family clinic (Family Medical Unit 4), and said the doctor (family clinic) that he was one hundred percent dengue and halted all of the antibiotic, and even told my Daughter: 'I bring the swollen glands doctor,' and I said it was the same thing, that dengue inflamed lymph, and halted the antibiotic, was prescribed paracetamol pure, saying 'come and dengue only one leaves. "

He stood there for a few days, treated with paracetamol prescribed by your family physician, and resting at home, but the maturity of your disability forced her to return to work, so they returned to their Family Medical Unit to request authorization to stay at rest , before the severe pain and fever that his mother tried unsuccessfully to remove using cold compresses.

"He finished and went on disability with fever and bone pains, and the doctor said the same version. She said she was more evil than before, and he again said that it was dengue, that 'just comes and goes solo, "recalled Estela.

By the Tuesday 25 August "in the inner Ayala again, and it was very bad. There they began to respond back, but as my daughter was wrong of her head, was sent to the Medical Center to do a scan to see what he brought. We arrived at the Medical Center in the afternoon, and we returned to Ayala, and there the doctor said he will send it back to the Medical Center because he had to assess the CT scan, and the Medical Center and interned in the ER and stayed there .

Studies and assessments IMSS spared, said Estela. "They told us one thing, they told us another, we were told, and to this extent that now they will analyze their bodies to see what kind of infection brought us and keep us, and while they analyze them, we are sloped by children, but a clear diagnosis never gave us, but until two or three months, because they're going to look at. "

For Estela's mother, Tere, and Gustavo, her husband, the last few weeks have been difficult, and although there is nothing to back them Tere, her only request is that this sad history will not repeat in other households.

"They are more questions than answers, because his death was very quick time and did not give a diagnosis of what he had, just got worse and came out to tell us that it was hopeless, and I want is that Please heed us and tell us what kind of infection was to prevent children ... We want to know what really happened that does not happen the same, and it is not repeated in another person, because if they say that dengue was not, because she went negative, I want to know is what was his death, and why the doctor from his clinic to one hundred percent assured that it was dengue, and so it was with pure paracetamol, but she was getting worse " .

What makes you doubt

On Friday, health officials in the state admitted that in Jalisco circulated the "dengue unusual", which had already killed a 23-year-old resident of the colony Echeverria, and between the symptoms of young, well fever, headache and joint pain, had diarrhea, vomiting and unconsciousness. For Tere same thing happened, had high fever, severe headaches, tiredness and loss of consciousness.

That same Friday, the Jalisco Health Secretariat (SJS) has warned doctors and health workers on the variants of classic and hemorrhagic dengue, as happened with the young of the colony Echeverria was not easy to identify, it did not meet with Known symptoms of dengue, and that Tere's mother said: "If the dengue entered, was not alone, as the doctor said, because in this case took my daughter, if that was what caused his death, because she had no bleeding, or bone pain.

Ulloa Robles said that after this, telephone the comrades of the deceased teacher learned that she was admitted on 20 September at a private hospital, where he eventually died two days later.

He reiterated that conclusion in this case reveals that his death was due to "pulmonary thromboembolism, which constitutes a major medical emergencies caused by circulation problems, especially in the deep venous system of the legs.

Cardinal falls victim to dengue as thousands stay away from annual religious festival
Tuesday, October 13 2009 12:20 GR Staff

evotees believe she can bring rain in time of drought, help bring wars to a peaceful conclusion and protect the city from epidemics.

The Virgin of Zapopan, however, was noticeably absent when it came to shielding the Archbishop of Guadalajara from the dengue epidemic sweeping Jalisco. Cardinal Juan Sandoval was hospitalized over the weekend and was unable to preside over Mexico?s second biggest religious pilgrimage on Monday: the Romeria of the Virgin of Zapopan.

Sandoval fell ill on Thursday and missed the lavish procession that carries Our Lady of Zapopan ? a small, cornhusk representation of the Virgin Mary ? along a 7.2-kilometer route from the Guadalajara Cathedral to her ?home? in Basilica of Zapopan.

Sandoval wasn?t the only absentee. The attendance of 1.5 million devout Catholics was down 300,000 from last year, which was 30 percent less than in 2007.

Low numbers last year were blamed on security fears as drug violence swept Mexico. Various illnesses and diseases doing the rounds kept many away on Monday, but the dwindling numbers must give Mexico?s Catholic leaders some cause for concern. (The annual procession is seen as key in keeping the Catholic flock together in the face of growing competition from evangelical Protestant religions.)

Health workers provide antibacterial gel for pilgrims.
The Mass held on the eve of the procession referred to the dengue and influenza illnesses affecting Jalisco and the Virgin, who in July received the honory title of ?Queen of Lake Chapala,? was asked for her assistance.

?We ask you to free us from the epidemics that are currently devastating the state of Jalisco,? pleaded Guadalajara Auxiliary Bishop Jose Trinidad, in front of 7,000 worshippers outside the Instituto Caba?as. ?Especially dengue, influenza and other calamities that don?t permit us to live life to the full.?

Between September 27 and October 3, health authorities confirmed 373 new cases of dengue in Jalisco ? the highest number ever recorded in a single week. Sixty-seven of those were the more serious hemorrhagic kind.

The total number of cases of dengue confirmed in Jalisco is now 2,360, over ten percent of which are hemorrhagic.

Jalisco leads the Mexican league table for suspected cases of dengue, with 26,537 probably cases recorded up until late September, more than double than second-placed Guerrero.

It added that deaths have occurred since the last two or three weeks, and the latest deaths were reported with similar pictures last weekend.

The places where some of the people killed are the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Jalisco and Guadalajara Civil Hospital. All deaths reported so far involve people in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara.

These deaths have occurred mainly in people between 20 and 44 years, with the common variable that most patients had shorter hospital stays because they are late to ask for attention.

It is possible that the extraordinarily CEVE meets Thursday. Otherwise, the meeting will be held next week.

Expansion of contagion

The metropolitan area of Guadalajara, said Salazar Montes, is being expelling of dengue cases, as other municipalities continue to occur with infections.

Although he said he is still time to see a decline in people suffering from dengue, "the curve of the disease is declining. However, Jalisco is in sixth place nationally in number of cases.

To the epidemiological week 39, which ran from 27 September to 3 October, two thousand Entity records 360 cases of dengue: two thousand of 048 classic and 312 hemorrhagic type.

Changing insecticide

For fumigation against dengue in school campuses and in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, the Ministry of Health changed its pesticide and has been using since a month ago called "Caotrine" whose formula is deltamethrin.

The head of Vectors and Zoonosis, Fermina Espinoza Alcantara, indicated that this insecticide is through intradomicilliary dew, which is impregnated in the walls, and has an ERA of four to six months.

He said the same insecticide used in the spray intradomicilliary, the pair used the "Aqua reslin" formula, permethrin, through the heavy equipment.

"It is up to us to change (the insecticide) are insecticides that are already in the new official standard, which comes in a month. The 'Aqua reslin' what we used in high-risk areas as Autl?n, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.

He explained that the unit will be outlawed throughout the insecticide "Aqua reslin" that had been purchased, but using it in lower-risk areas with heavy equipment.

He warned that the change is not because permethrin is causing damage or fail, but at the federal recommendation is that every so often you change the insecticide because the Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits dengue, generates resistance over time.

The governor acknowledges that the dengue fever broke

State governor Emilio Gonzalez Marquez, presented its second quarterly report 2009, with results that were not encouraging in terms of education and employment. He also acknowledged that cases of dengue increased and exceeded those recorded during 2008, thus Jalisco is in 12th place nationally (this figure is contradicted by the Secretariat of Health, which cited the State in sixth place national).
