More than two weeks have passed but no additional deaths have been recorded in Region One, Barima/Waini, resulting from the gastrointestinal illness which has been plaguing communities there for just over two months.Health Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy confirmed this development yesterday when he commented on the current impact of the illness which has caused the death of several persons from the communities of Port Kaituma and Kariakou.He pointed out that while the illness is still very much present in the region, health teams dispatched by the Ministry are able to manage the cases that yet arise.Dr Ramsammy has attributed the Ministry’s success to the fact that health workers have been closely following the protocols established by the Ministry.

He explained that although some samples were tested at the local National Public Health Reference Laboratory, some were also sent to CAREC to confirm those findings as well as to detect other pathogens that cannot be detected at the local facility.Gastrointestinal illnesses can be caused by a variety of communicable diseases and infections, which gain entry by and/or affect the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of gastrointestinal infection,Cheap NFL Jerseys, which are not necessarily confined to diarrhoea and vomiting, are caused by the organisms themselves or by the toxins that they produce.Various pathogens,NFL Jerseys Cheap, which usually get into the human body through contaminated food and water, can produce an infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
