rooster59 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Boy, 12, succumbs to dengue in Chiang Mai By The Nation Dengue fever has claimed its first victim in Chiang Mai this year, a 12-year-old fifth grader. Sutheerat Mahasing, an academic at the Chiang Mai Public Health Office, said on Friday that Chanon Jomputu had died two days earlier. But Sutheerat dismissed a rumour that the death resulted from a “new strain” of the dengue virus, blaming the tragedy instead on failure to get the proper treatment in time. The boy contracted the virus in his village, Pang Kwai in Fang district, but rather than being taken to a hospital, he was treated at a small clinic on June 19 and quickly released, Sutheerat said. When his condition worsened on June 23, he was sent to Fang District Hospital, which transferred him to Nakhon Ping Hospital, where he received blood platelets but died nevertheless.

Burma Bill Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Quote:- "where he received blood platelets but died nevertheless" I find this rather insensitive reporting - could have written " but sadly passed away" or similar. RIP young lad. Those dreaded "mossies" again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submarines provide a very good protection against mosquitoes. Sanofi developed a vaccine and tested it for instance on the Philippines. The results were not so good and the vaccine even might have made the situation worse for some people. Just google Sanofi Dengue Vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
