tests on the blood of the cooperating
Today at 08:10
No waiting for the investigations underway in Sassari man hospitalized for suspected case of Ebola. The tests, which began immediately, will confirm whether this is really a terrible infection by viruses. The other hypothesis, that the hours passed is taking shape, is whether it instead of malaria. To get the response of the blood test, which will be completed Spallanzani Hospital in Rome, it could take days.
The patient is a nurse who worked Sardinian for a charity in Sierra Leone on 15 February to 6 May was hospitalized yesterday afternoon in the Department of Infectious Diseases of Sassari.
According to the Councillor directives since last November they had been identified special hospital rooms because they have set standards for taking charge of patients with suspicious symptoms.
The case is treated as a code red (fever over 38.6 and permanence in potentially Ebola within 21 days prior).
The patient had an episode of fever today to 39.2, but had no contact with other people or pets: the virus becomes contagious only when the fever appears.
The patient was taken from his house by a 118 ambulance and hospitalized yesterday at 15 after 15 minutes.
"We have respected all the security procedures - explains a note of the Region - foreseen by the protocols by the national and regional staff of 118 and staff of the department of infectious diseases that used mask, goggles and diving suit to avoid any direct contact" .
Anti Ebola
The association to which the cooperative has worked as a volunteer has announced meanwhile that the nurse had unprotected contact with known or suspected cases of Ebola, or with sick or dead animals or other possible exposure to the disease.
In these hours we are being diagnostic tests in collaboration with the national reference center located at the Spallanzani Hospital in Rome.
"The situation is under control, and our Crisis unit worked perfectly - ensures the commissioner of Health Luigi Arru - now is in place all the tests to see if this really is a case of infection with Ebola or a simple influence, as it might well be. "
