More than 150 people had been affected by the disease over the past week, but the deaths were reported since late Tuesday. Preliminary investigations indicated the victims contracted cholera because of unsanitary conditions, government health official Anup Bhattacharya said. Cholera causes vomiting and diarrhoea, and victims can die of dehydration. The disease is usually transmitted through contaminated food and water. The 16 victims were mostly workers from six tea plantations in the Sonitpur district, about 230 kilometres north of Assam's main city, Guwahati. "The problem is the victims were brought to hospitals very late, once their condition deteriorated," a doctor at the state-run hospital in Biswanath Chariali town was quoted as saying. "They were either ignoring the disease or resorting to self-medication with some even relying on quacks." Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said a general health alert had been sounded in the area and precautionary measures were being taken.

อินเดียมีโรคระบาดซึ่งยังไม่รู้สาเหตุของโรคว่าเกิดจากไวรัสชนิดใดเลย ตอนนี้ตาย 51 ติดเชื่ออีก 340 คนแล้ว


Location: India State of Uttar Pradesh Uttar Pradesh-wide
Number of Deads: 51 person(s)
Number of Infected: 340 person(s)




Situation: 340 people have fallen ill and 51 have died in the state capital, Lucknow, in northern India, this past two weeks, from a virus which remains unknown, despite microbiologists working diligently to identify it. The suspected virus seems to affect primarily the elderly and young children, officials said, Thursday, and those struck by it experience headaches, fever and vomiting. “We are not able to identify the virus that is causing the deaths. It could be a mutant form of dengue or malaria, but we are not sure,” said S.P. Ram, the state’s top medical official. “Microbiologists are trying to pinpoint the exact cause.”



Blood samples have been sent to New Delhi to attempt to determine the type of virus and some officials believe it is exacerbated by unhygienic living conditions, which is rampant in Lucknow’s Khadra neighborhood. “We cannot give the exact reason for the deaths, but it could be due to unhygienic living conditions in Khadra,” said A.K. Shukla, Lucknow’s chief medical officer. Khadra is home to upwards of 250,000 people and the entrance to the neighborhood consists of heaps of rotting garbage, fetid, stagnant water, open sewer drains, and many people do not have indoor toilets, so human waste also contributes. The water source for the people is located near an open drain, and supplies a dark brackish water, and is where many people get their water for drinking, cooking and bathing. “We are living in hell. We drink muddy water and live in a neighborhood full of filth and dirt,” said Kamla Maheshwari, a housewife, as she waited for her turn at the community tap. A state-run medical camp has been set up in a field, and residents wait patiently to be examined by doctors in the open.

Situation: The number of the patients of dengue hemorrhagic fever is rising across the country as six more patients died of the disease in Sanghar and Naushehro Feroz in Sindh, Jaffarabad in Balochistan and Azad Kashmir, a private TV channel reported on Monday. Accroding to details, three dengue patients were reported dead in Kotli, Azad Kashmir, while in Shahdadpur town of Sanghar district and Naushehro Feroz and Jaffarabad, three people died of the hemorrhagic fever. Whereas, the count of dengue patients in Punjab has increased to around 1,800, the channel said. The tally of dengue patients in Sindh has reached close to 4,000. Sindh government’s focal person for dengue hemorrhagic fever Dr Shakeel Malik said that the death toll by dengue fever in Sindh has reached to 16. Around 3,500 infected persons were reported in Karachi and 126 in Hyderabad, the channel reported. The Sindh health minister said that the health department forwarded a summary to the CM for a grant of Rs 100 million needed for measures to control the infectious disease. Sindh chief minister approved the grant and directed the health department to utilise it for the treatment of citizens affected with dengue viral infection. The tally of infected people also increased in Lahore as the dengue patients count in Punjab reached around 1,800. In Lahore, 690 dengue infections were confirmed in a week, while four patients died of the disease in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the channel reported.

Number of Infected: 7000 person(s)


Situation:

Officials in Haiti said that cholera is spreading to the north and is now "endemic" to Haiti. Ted Steinhauer is directing Medical Teams International's operations in Haiti and spoke with ABC News from a hospital in the tiny town of Gros Morne, where he said there are 600 cholera patients. He said there are likely thousands more in the mountainous north and northwest.



Steinhauer said the disease has entered the water supply. It first bloomed last month in the Artibonite valley, a big rice farming area. The rice workers carried it up to the mountains where they live. There is little sanitation up there and no latrines, so they defecate in creeks and streams.



The flooding from Hurricane Tomas just spread everything out. Medical teams are still assessing the situation, and the U.N. said it could be four days before they can confirm the new outbreak. They said there’s “severe diarrhea” in several parts of the country. Cholera is easily survivable if the sick are treated quickly.

Situation: Health officials in Haiti say they are examining at least 120 suspected cases of cholera in the country's capital, the most significant warning sign yet that the epidemic has spread from outlying areas to threaten as many as 3 million people. Samples from patients in Port-au-Prince are being tested in a laboratory to confirm the presence of vibrio cholera bacteria, which has already killed at least 544 people in Haiti, Health Ministry Executive Director Gabriel Timothee told The Associated Press. If confirmed, the bacteria could imperil an estimated 2.5 million to 3 million inhabitants, nearly half of whom have been living in tents or under tarps in easily flooded encampments since their houses were destroyed in the Jan. 12 earthquake. "We are working on the cases. ... We don't have confirmation yet," Timothee said. He said many of the hospitalized patients are believed to have recently arrived from parts of Haiti such as the Artibonite Valley, where the epidemic was first registered and has done its most ferocious damage. More than 6,400 of the known 8,138 cases to date have been in the agricultural region, clustered around the Artibonite River. At least 114 of the people suspected of having the disease in the capital are in the Cite Soleil slum, the expansive oceanside shantytown at the capital's far northeastern edge and its closest point to the valley.

Since its discovery in late October, the disease has spread to half of Haiti's 10 administrative regions, or departments. More than 200 people have been hospitalised in the West department, where Port-au-Prince is located, but no cases of cholera have yet been confirmed within the limits of the capital city. Cholera had never been documented in Haiti before its appearance last month. In little more than three weeks it is suspected of infecting tens of thousands of people, though only about a quarter of people infected normally develop symptoms of serious diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Nearly 4 per cent of the thousands hospitalised have died, most from extreme shock brought on by dehydration. Officials are concerned that floods triggered by Hurricane Tomas on Friday and Saturday could exacerbate the spread of the disease, which is transmitted through the consumption of fecal matter contained in contaminated water or food. The release of a dam on the Artibonite River caused the infected waterway to swell Monday, but there were no reports of major flooding. Living conditions in Port-au-Prince's earthquake camps have "deteriorated as a result of the storm," Boston-based Partners in Health said Monday. "Standing water, mud, lack of garbage collection, and limited sanitation availability make the camps a potential flashpoint for cholera outbreak," the group said.

Humanitarian groups and Haitian health care workers have been working in Port-au-Prince to prepare for cholera, informing residents about preventative measures such as regular hand-washing and sufficiently cooking food as well as setting up clinics in expectation that the disease would spread to the city. The origin of the outbreak continues to be a source for debate. Analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that the cholera outbreak in Haiti most closely matches a strain of the disease found in South Asia. Public health experts, including UN Deputy Special Envoy to Haiti Paul Farmer, who co-founded Partners in Health, have called for an aggressive investigation into the origin of the outbreak. They say that should include looking at the unconfirmed hypothesis that cholera was introduced by UN peacekeepers from Nepal, a South Asian nation where the disease is endemic. Those peacekeepers are at a UN base on a tributary of the Artibonite River, which has been found to be contaminated with cholera.

Situation:

The cholera epidemic has spread into Haiti's capital, imperiling nearly 3 million people living in Port-au-Prince, nearly half of them in unsanitary tent camps for the homeless from the Jan. 12 earthquake.

Health authorities told The Associated Press on Monday that tests confirmed a 3-year-old boy who hadn't been out of the city had caught the disease. More than 100 other suspected cholera cases among city residents also were being tested. The outbreak has already killed at least 544 people in Haiti, Health Ministry Executive Director Gabriel Timothee told the AP. The boy was tested after being taken to the Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare hospital Oct. 31 suffering from severe dehydration, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. He was treated with oral rehydration, IV fluids and antibiotics and released. A stool sample tested by Haiti's national laboratory contained vibrio cholerae 01, the bacteria causing the disease, the chief medical officer, Dr. Antonia Eyssallenne, confirmed to AP in an e-mail. The boy's family had not traveled in more than a year or had contact with anyone from the Artibonite Valley, where the epidemic was first registered and has wreaked its most ferocious damage.

Timothee said many of the patients hospitalized in the capital with cholera are believed to have recently arrived from the Artibonite Valley, an agricultural area where more than 6,400 of Haiti's known 8,138 cases have been recorded. At least 114 of the people suspected of having the disease in the capital are in the Cite Soleil slum, the expansive oceanside shantytown at the capital's far northeastern edge and its closest point to the valley.

As a precaution, health officials are asking anyone born in or after 1970, who has not received two doses of the measles vaccine and was at those locations at those times to watch for signs and symptoms of measles. Symptoms usually occur between one and three weeks after exposure and include cough, runny nose, fever, white spots in the mouth and red, watery eyes that are sensitive to light.

With no medical facilities present in the village of Lego, locals reported more than 30 children under 5 had come down with the disease. “We used to get various vaccinations and free food from international relief organizations by going nowhere, but right now, everything has changed; no aid agency, no immunization today,” said a local resident who asked his name not be used, spelling out that Al Shabaab stood in their way to access free medicine and aid food. Al Shabaab, which controls large swaths in the southern and northern regions of the country, has banned aid agencies from operating in southern and central Somalia. Measles is highly contagious. Infection occurs by coming into contact with fluids released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Just under 200,000 children affected by measles die every year worldwide, according to Medicine Sans Frontiers (MSF). Even though a safe and effective vaccine exists, outbreaks occur all round the world because routine immunization programmes are not in place or are not effective. Meanwhile, severe drought has hit in the region, and people and domestic animals are close to dying of thirst and hunger, according to Muse Adam Hassan, a local elder in the village, located southwest of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu. “One barrel of water is worth 30,000 up to 40,000 Somali shilling ($1 to $1.50),” Hassan added. In August, Al Shabaab also ordered three international aid agencies--World Vision, Adventist Development and Relief Agency and Diakonia--to stop serving in Somalia, claiming they were "actively propagating Christianity" in the Horn of Africa country. The terrorist group warned other aid organizations not to take up their work, mentioning action would be taken against them. Relief agencies serving inside Somalia say aid to millions of Somalis is hampered by the danger that aid workers face and a lack of respect for international humanitarian law by the parties to the conflict.

The government in Brazzaville, the nation’s capital, has declared an emergency and announced plans to vaccinate the entire population with oral drops three times with help from the W.H.O., Unicef and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Pointe Noire, the port city where most of the cases are concentrated, “We’ve got two hospitals with hundreds of paralyzed people and many dead,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, the W.H.O.’s director of global polio eradication, said in an interview from Geneva. “And a couple of things about this outbreak are different and deeply disturbing.” Polio normally strikes young boys and girls equally, killing no more than 20 percent of those it paralyzes; death ensues when paralysis moves up the spine to the nerves that control the breathing muscles. In Pointe Noire, 85 percent of the cases are in teenagers and adults, most victims are male, and the death rate is much higher.

However, Dr. Aylward said, as his team on its way there learns more, the outbreak could begin to look more typical, albeit still serious. “We’ve only heard about this in the last seven days,” he said. “This is very much under investigation.” Pointe Noire is unusual in that rebel activity has so cut off its roads that the city is “almost like an island,” he said, with few outside children visiting. Routine polio vaccination in central Africa began only in the 1980s and focuses on children under age 5, so few adults are protected. Also, the weakened live virus in the vaccine spreads in the same way the disease virus does, shed in feces. Because mothers and sisters tend to change babies’ diapers, they may have picked up that accidental form of protection. Also, the hospitals are probably seeing only serious cases, making the death rate artificially high. “We’re still dealing with the fog of war,” Dr. Aylward said. “We don’t have exact data.” In 1996, he noted, there was an adult outbreak in long-isolated Albania after a few years in which only children got the modern vaccine. It will take a few weeks to see whether the intense central African vaccination campaigns of the last few years can fence off this outbreak, Dr. Aylward said. He called the situation in the Congo Republic an unexpected setback in what had otherwise been a great year in fighting polio. Nigeria, long Africa’s polio hot spot, had a 98 percent drop in cases since 2009, and 14 of the 15 countries with outbreaks of the Nigerian strain snuffed them out. The Congo Republic outbreak is of an Indian strain that was first found in Angola in 2007 and is creeping north.

The health authorities have advised parents of students at this school to have their children vaccinated immediately, and newsletters are being sent to them urging them to have to all their schoolchildren vaccinated, if not previously immunised. The Andalusian health minister, Maria Jesus Montero, stated last week [week of 1 Nov 2010] that "measles is usually a disease that progresses with mild symptoms and no major consequences," and stressed that measles is one of the diseases "that can be eradicated because there is an effective vaccine available to immunise the population." Of the 20 cases recorded so far, 4 have been admitted to the Maternal and Child Hospital, but none of them is seriously ill.
