La Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ha declarado que el actual brote de \u00e9bola en la Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica del Congo (RDC) y Uganda constituye una \u201cEmergencia de Salud P\u00fablica de Importancia Internacional\u201d, ante el aumento de casos, la propagaci\u00f3n transfronteriza y las importantes incertidumbres sobre la magnitud de la epidemia.<\/p>\n

Ocho casos confirmados, 246 sospechosos y 80 muertes en investigaci\u00f3n han sido registrados en el este de la RDC en un brote de \u00e9bola que ya se ha extendido a Kinshasa y Uganda<\/p>\n

La decisi\u00f3n, anunciada fue el domingo por el Director General de la OMS, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, y se tom\u00f3 tras informes de infecciones confirmadas y sospechosas vinculadas a la\u00a0cepa Bundibugyo del virus. Aunque la situaci\u00f3n es grave, actualmente no cumple con los criterios para ser considerada una emergencia pand\u00e9mica seg\u00fan el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional de la OMS.<\/p>\n

Hasta el 16 de mayo, las autoridades sanitarias hab\u00edan registrado ocho casos confirmados por laboratorio, 246 casos sospechosos y 80 muertes en investigaci\u00f3n\u00a0en la provincia de Ituri, en el este de la RDC. Tambi\u00e9n se han confirmado casos en la capital, Kinshasa, y al otro lado de la frontera, en Uganda, donde dos personas infectadas viajaron desde la RDC y fueron ingresadas en cuidados intensivos.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Riesgo para los pa\u00edses vecinos\u00a0<\/h2>\n

La OMS advirti\u00f3 que el brote probablemente es mayor de lo que se ha detectado hasta ahora, se\u00f1alando conglomerados de muertes inexplicables, una alta tasa de positividad entre las muestras analizadas y un conocimiento limitado sobre los patrones de transmisi\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n

La organizaci\u00f3n\u00a0advierte de que el brote probablemente es mayor de lo que se ha detectado hasta ahora<\/p>\n

Al menos cuatro muertes entre trabajadores sanitarios tambi\u00e9n han generado preocupaci\u00f3n por las medidas de prevenci\u00f3n y control de infecciones en los centros de salud.<\/p>\n

La agencia subray\u00f3 que el brote representa un riesgo para los pa\u00edses vecinos debido a la alta movilidad de la poblaci\u00f3n, los v\u00ednculos comerciales y los desaf\u00edos humanitarios persistentes en las regiones afectadas.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

No se recomiendan restricciones de viaje<\/h2>\n

Pese a los riesgos, la OMS no recomienda restricciones a los viajes internacionales ni al comercio. En cambio, inst\u00f3 a los pa\u00edses a reforzar la vigilancia, la preparaci\u00f3n y la participaci\u00f3n comunitaria, adem\u00e1s de garantizar informaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica precisa.<\/p>\n

Las autoridades de la RDC y Uganda han recibido apoyo de la agencia para activar mecanismos de respuesta de emergencia, fortalecer el rastreo de contactos y las pruebas de laboratorio, mejorar la prevenci\u00f3n de infecciones y ampliar la capacidad de tratamiento.<\/p>\n

Actualmente no existen vacunas aprobadas ni tratamientos espec\u00edficos para la cepa Bundibugyo<\/p>\n

La participaci\u00f3n comunitaria, incluido el trabajo con l\u00edderes locales y religiosos, tambi\u00e9n se considera clave para controlar el brote. La OMS destac\u00f3 que actualmente no existen vacunas aprobadas ni tratamientos espec\u00edficos para la cepa Bundibugyo, lo que subraya la importancia de acelerar la investigaci\u00f3n y los ensayos cl\u00ednicos.<\/p>\n

La agencia para la salud de la ONU tambi\u00e9n anunci\u00f3 que se convocar\u00e1 a un Comit\u00e9 de Emergencia para formular nuevas recomendaciones, mientras las autoridades sanitarias mundiales intensifican los esfuerzos para contener el brote y evitar una mayor propagaci\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
