Uma criança indígena de nove meses da
etnia Apurinã morreu na manhã desta sexta-feira (20) na Unidade de Terapia
Intensiva (UTI) do Hospital da Criança, em Rio Branco, capital do Acre.
Além dos Apurinã, que vivem no Alto Rio Inauini, os Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) e
Madjá (Kulina), do Alto Rio Purus, também registraram mortes.
De acordo com as lideranças indígenas
que compõem o Conselho Distrital de Saúde, sobe para 16 o número parcial de
crianças mortas no estado vítimas dos mesmos sintomas: diarreia, febre e
vômito. O dado confronta o divulgado pela Secretaria Especial de
Saúde Indígena (Sesai), que aponta 13 vítimas.
Entretanto, os indígenas apontam que tomam como base
não só o órgão do Ministério da Saúde, mas também as informações de vítimas que
não chegaram ao Pólo de Saúde.
“Tem outra criança que está na UTI e o
estado dela é de gravidade. Como eu tenho dito, registramos casos de crianças
que morreram nas aldeias destes mesmos sintomas”, frisa Ninawá Huni Kuin,
conselheiro de saúde.
O Ministério da Saúde deslocou uma
equipe de Brasília (DF) para o Acre com o intuito de investigar de forma mais
detalhada a doença, mas Ninawá informa que os agentes ainda não chegaram. Mais
de 20 aldeias já foram atingidas entre as comunidades indígenas do Alto Rio
Purus, Alto Rio Envira e Alto Rio Inauini – com distância entre si que chegam a
mil quilômetros.
Rotavírus
As suspeitas recaem sobre uma epidemia
de rotavírus. No entanto, as autoridades não confirmam. “Até o
momento, não foi confirmado caso ou óbito por rotavírus ou outra doença nas
comunidades indígenas da região de Santa Rosa do Purus”, diz nota divulgada
nesta quinta-feira (19) pela Sesai.
“Estamos com muita dificuldade para acessar
informações. Essa criança morreu e logo o corpo foi levado para a aldeia”,
destaca o missionário Lindomar Padilha, do Conselho Indigenista Missionário
(Cimi).
Conforme dados da Agência Brasil, de 1º a 18 de janeiro, 70 crianças indígenas foram
identificadas com doença diarreica aguda. Em dezembro de 2011, foram dez
mortes. Até a última terça-feira (17) o governo federal confirmava oito mortes,
mas passou a falar em 13 óbitos nessa sexta-feira.

An indigenous Apurinã child, age nine months, died early on Friday (20) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Children's Hospital, in Rio Branco, capital of Acre. In addition to the Apurinã who live in the Upper Rio Inauini the Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) and Madjar (Kulina), the Upper Purus River, also reported deaths.
According to indigenous leaders who make up the District Health Council this brings the number of children that have died to 16. In part been they were victims of the same symptoms: diarrhea, fever and vomiting. The data released when confronting the Special Secretariat of Indigenous Health (SESA), pointed 13 victims that died exhibiting the same symptoms.
However, the Indians point out that they are not located near/close enough to the Ministry of Health, but also information regarding the victims has not reached the Ministry of Health. [this sentence is not correctly translated - pls contact me if you can assist]
"We have another child who is in ICU and her condition is serious. As I have said, recorded cases of children who died in the villages died of the same symptoms, "noted Ninawa Huni Kuin, health counselor.
The Ministry of Health deployed a team of Brasilia (DF) to Acre in order to investigate in more detail the disease, but Ninawa reports that agents have not yet arrived. The disease has reached more than 20 villages among indigenous communities of the Alto Purus River, High River, High River Envira Inauini - with distance between them coming to a thousand miles.
RotavirusSuspicion falls on a rotavirus epidemic. However, authorities have not confirmed this. "So far, no confirmed case or death due to rotavirus disease or other indigenous communities in the region of Santa Rosa of the Purus has been diagnosed," says a statement issued on Thursday (19) by Sheshai."We have a lot of trouble accessing information. This child died and then the body was taken to the village, "said the missionary Lindomar Padilha, the Indigenous Missionary Council (CIMI).According to data of the Brazil, from 1 to January 18, 70 indigenous children were identified with acute diarrheal disease. In December 2011 there were ten deaths. Until last Tuesday (17) the federal government confirmed eight deaths, but went on to speak in 13 deaths on Friday.
