Epidemic |
Dominican Republic |
On 7 December the Public Health Provincial Director of Monse?or Nouel province confirmed a cholera outbreak in Bonao municipality, located some 93 Kilometres from Santo Domingo. On that day, 13 new cases with suspected symptoms of diarrhoea, vomits and abdominal pain were registered in Dr. Pedro Emilio de Marchena Hospital in Bonao; figures that increased on the following days. Patients were from the communities of Jima, El Abanico, Blanco, La Base, Ca?o Piedra, Canal Piedra and Seiba, all communities dependent on the R?o de Blanco aqueduct. As a result, the contamination of the aqueduct was considered the main source of the outbreak.
Although precise figures are still unclear, provincial health authorities estimate that some 220 persons have been hospitalized, with one fatality reported. However, by 14 December, and after intense measures to contain the outbreak, the number of suspected cases had decreased significantly and only 13 patients were still hospitalized.
