Totally agree ...you could not even think of putting a young child with a roaring temperature on to a plane ..the Dominican hospitals know what they are doing so the most important thing is IMMEDIATELY getting a child to the hospital for the treatment . The deaths are those who waited too long to seek hospital treatment ...it is the same situation as we had with the cholera out break when people died because they didi not go to hospital early for simple anti biotic treatment.

1.25%, actually. what is scary thou is that about half of those deaths happened within one month.

today vice minister criticized doctors for not knowing how to manage their cases and not checking thoroughly their patients in order to make a diagnosis. http://www.elcaribe.com.do/2015/10/...os-saben-tratar-pacientes-con-sintomas-dengue

this is referring to public hospitals, i assume, since most deaths happen there. patients in private clinics have access to a wider range of tests and treatments.

No wrong assumption..poor people go to the hospital with dengue far too late . It is the same situation as we had with dengue when people needlessly died because they sought treatment too late . The public hospitals can offer the same treatment as private hospitals but in less hygenic and less comfortable conditions . Poor diagnosis can occur in public and private hospitals and can be difficult to give a corect diagnosis to a crying two year .
The reason I was told to treat myself at home was that there was no space for me in hospital ..which is another problem doctors are facing

People do die from Dengue and that is tragic. But what about those who don't die from Dengue? Are there long terms negative affects from bone-break fever? Loss of education, employment, development?

I have no after effects and I had the hemorrhagic type.... after whatever first type

Chickungunya (sp) lasts longer and can linger .

My doctor had had all 4 dengues... no after effects.

At a time when the country illness clothes, President Danilo Medina instructed his ministers to do more to cope with the situation.However, health unions say the dengue has got out of hand to the authorities.

Have a friend whose mother is an infectiologue and she informed that the total death toll is 300 with Dengue and in order not to scare tourists they are declaring death toll very very low.

at which hospital is she working and where does she get her total dead number from,
as it is obviously not as such number shown in the papers of the health ministry?
Motha of a Fren says
can be a dangerous thing.
