Idrismusty97: Successfully? undecided This is what premium times have to say.
Have we even closed our borders? Or at lest imposed strict border control? Reporting at this early stage of a so called victory against ebola is a primitive thinking. This may come back to haunt those who publicly declared victory. Remeber the "We have rescue all the kidnapped girls" moment.
I don't wanna be a killjoy, but we need to realise that we can't afford to let down our guards and stop watching out for danger until we totally control our borders.

Just yesterday, a colleague was called from Sango Otta in Ogun state to come and check out the newly arrived maids from Cotonou. When she asked how they were able to enter despite the border control, the woman said it's a bushpath in a village and that they use okada riders to convey the immigrants to town and they 'settle' when necessary. Ofcourse she tried to educate them on why they should stop it for now, but it got me thinking:
* Do we really have border control?
* Are the villagers aware of the danger immigrants pose to our health system enough to alert the government so they can man those routes?
* Are the people in charge of our land borders ready to overlook the bribes for now and truly control movement?

We need to take stricter measures in keeping out all the illegal immigrants who have seen naija as a safe haven. I pray this good news will be permanent in Jesus name.

You are incredibly stewpid.

Dr adadevoh that gave her life is a robot right?

Do you know that two doctors were also among those that recovered?

Do you also know that the bulk of the medical personnel that volunteered for training in Ebola patient management were resident doctors?

And you also forgot that First consultant is a private hospital run by the same doctors you deride.
Was it Dr. Adadevoh that was said to be discharged before her demise or another doctor entirely. I thought there were two different doctors in that scenario or am I mistaken? Somebody please clearify me.

Rabies facts from W.H.O.

Fact Sheet N°99
Updated August 2014

Key facts

Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories.
More than 60 000 people die of rabies every year mostly in Asia and Africa.
40% of people who are bitten by suspect rabid animals are children under 15 years of age.
Dogs are the source of the vast majority of human rabies deaths.
Wound cleansing and immunization within a few hours after contact with a suspect rabid animal can prevent the onset of rabies and death.
Every year, approximately 29 million people worldwide receive a post-exposure vaccination to prevent the disease at an estimated cost of US$2.1 billion.
Rabies is a zoonotic disease (a disease that is transmitted to humans from animals) that is caused by a virus. The disease affects domestic and wild animals, and is spread to people through close contact with infectious material, usually saliva, via bites or scratches.

Rabies is present on all continents with the exception of Antarctica, but more than 95% of human deaths occur in Asia and Africa. Once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is nearly always fatal. Rabies is a neglected disease of poor and vulnerable populations whose deaths are rarely reported. It occurs mainly in remote rural communities where measures to prevent dog to human transmission have not been implemented.

More than 100 countries report cases of rabies in dogs putting people at risk. Vaccinating at least 70% of dogs breaks the cycle of transmission in dogs and to humans. Safe, efficacious and affordable dog rabies vaccines are available, and countries embarking on rabies elimination need easy access to quality-assured dog vaccines for vaccination campaigns and for outbreak management.

Symptoms
The incubation period for rabies is typically 1–3 months, but may vary from <1 week to >1 year. The initial symptoms of rabies are fever and often pain or an unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking or burning sensation (paraesthesia) at the wound site.

As the virus spreads through the central nervous system, progressive, fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord develops.

Two forms of the disease can follow. People with furious rabies exhibit signs of hyperactivity, excited behaviour, hydrophobia and sometimes aerophobia. After a few days, death occurs by cardio-respiratory arrest.

Paralytic rabies accounts for about 30% of the total number of human cases. This form of rabies runs a less dramatic and usually longer course than the furious form. The muscles gradually become paralyzed, starting at the site of the bite or scratch. A coma slowly develops, and eventually death occurs. The paralytic form of rabies is often misdiagnosed, contributing to the under-reporting of the disease.

Diagnosis
No tests are available to diagnose rabies infection in humans before the onset of clinical disease, and unless the rabies-specific signs of hydrophobia or aerophobia are present, the clinical diagnosis may be difficult. Human rabies can be confirmed intra-vitam and post mortem by various diagnostic techniques aimed at detecting the whole virus, viral antigens, viral-specific antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid, or nucleic acids in infected tissues (brain, skin, urine or saliva).

Transmission
People are usually infected following a deep bite or scratch by an infected animal. Dogs are the main host and transmitter of rabies. They are the source of infection in all of the estimated 50 000 human rabies deaths annually in Asia and Africa.

Bats are the source of most human rabies deaths in the Americas. Bat rabies has also recently emerged as a public health threat in Australia and western Europe. Human deaths following exposure to foxes, raccoons, skunks, jackals, mongooses and other wild carnivore host species are very rare.

Transmission can also occur when infectious material – usually saliva – comes into direct contact with human mucosa or fresh skin wounds. Human-to-human transmission by bite is theoretically possible but has never been confirmed. Changes in the environment and close human contact with wildlife can lead to increased human exposure to rabies-infected wildlife species.

Rarely, rabies may be contracted by inhalation of virus-containing aerosol or via transplantation of an infected organ. Ingestion of raw meat or other tissues from animals infected with rabies is not a source of human infection.
