The nine -year-old girl infected with bird flu (A-H5) is "stable," said Francisco Pérez, Undersecretary of Health Surveillance and Control of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) of Ecuador on Wednesday .
In a press conference, Pérez indicated that the minor, who lives in the Andean province of Bolívar , presented symptoms on December 25 and was treated locally.
She presented the typical symptoms of pneumonia, which became more complicated and she was transferred to the Ecuadorian capital, where she is admitted to a public hospital .
In that health home, he assured, he is "stable, with a favorable evolution."
According to Pérez, to maintain control, they have carried out tests on about 25 people, including relatives and people who were in contact with the minor.
Aftermath
The consequences that this may have are those of any respiratory illness because it is severe pneumonia and he may have some type of respiratory problem in the future," the official said.
"It is not yet known because it is a bit complex because there are very few cases, so the sequelae cannot be investigated in these people," he continued.
He added that the people with the highest risk of contagion are those who are in contact with birds, in poultry farms , such as poultry workers.
According to the MSP, the case of the girl , the first reported in the country, was detected on January 7 and it is presumed that the contagion was due to direct contact of the minor with some birds infected with the virus .
