WHO sends team to DRC to investigate the mystery illness.

[imhotep]

The World Health Organization has sent a team to study a mystery illness in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

At least 79 people have died from an unknown disease that is causing flu-like symptoms in south-western Democratic Republic of Congo, the health ministry says.
The health ministry says the majority of people who have died are between the ages of 15 and 18.

More than 300 people have been infected with patients exhibiting symptoms like fever, headaches, runny noses and coughs, breathing difficulties and anaemia. The majority of sick are children around the age of 5. Some news media reports the actual deaths could be high as 140.

DRC lacks proper medical infrastructure. Clinics may be few and far between, especially in remote areas, and are often understaffed. Indeed, the DRC has fewer than two doctors per 10,000 population.

Poverty which leads to malnutrition, diseases due to lack of access to clean water, poor sanitation and lack of proper mmedical care. But there isn't a shortage of conflicts.

Update:

Between Oct. 24 and Dec. 5, the World Health Organization recorded 406 cases of the disease, which causes fever, headache, cough, running nose and body aches, particularly affecting children under the age of five and females, the WHO said Sunday.

Local officials said the disease has killed 143 people, Reuters reported Tuesday, much higher than the 31 deaths recorded by the WHO. The most severe cases are among people who are severely malnourished, according to the WHO, which reports acute pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19, measles and malaria are considered potential causal factors.

At least the Africans don't hide. The Chinese does the opposite and spreads it around.

Anyway out of the Congo samples. of 12, 10 were positive for malaria. More samples will be collected and tested to determine the exact cause. At least for now we know that some of them have Malaria.

Malaria is endemic to this part of the World and also there has been no escalation of cases noted recently.

There has been a further escalation of 147 more cases last week. with one more death. Nearly 42% of the cases have been reported in children younger than 5 years old.

The lab in Kinsasha states that thesamples it received on December 7 are poor quality, with blood and serum samples poorly preserved and some showing hemolysis. The lab didn't receive any nasopharyngeal samples.
A team has travelled to Panzi health zone to collect more samples, which took 3 days due the remote location and difficult road conditions.

Meanwhile..... MonkeyPox cases are up too. The outbreaks, which have affected 20 African countries, are driven by clade 1a and the novel clade 1b virus.
Japan had earlier announced a donation of about 3 million doses of theie LC16 vaccine from its stockpile, along with a supply of bifurcated needles used to administer the vaccine.

The Japanese vaccine can be used on children as young as 1 year old. The Bavarian Nordic vaccine, already in use in the DRC, Rwanda, and Nigeria, is indicated only for people ages 12 and older, though a safety and immunogenicity study is under way in children ages 2 to 12 years old.
