Yea...
Salbutamol doesn't always work when administered at the critical stage.

When I start wheezing or feeling mild tightness of chest, I take it but when it has reached the stage of me gasping for breath no ventolin inhaler,nebulizer or tablets works for me. Aminophyline intravenous injections works well at such stage or hydrocortisone injection.

Seretide is for managing it and reducing the frequency, its not what you use to treat it when it comes but daily taking to reduce its occurrence...
Before I develop symptoms one or twice a week but now I can go three to four months without asthmatic symptoms because of it.
It is made up of Fluticasone/salmeterol. You inhale it.

Are Asthma patients s in Nigeria any different from similar patients in the rest of the world? Covid-19 poses significant danger to everyone, no matter the race or nationality, with any pre-existing conditions.

Kingarthur21:
I can't be caught unawares..being using seretide diskus daily.

It is the era of COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus that has resulted in three million cases worldwide. Countries initiated lockdowns to curb the spread of the respiratory illness, still without a cure, and over two million are still battling for their lives while a million have recovered so far. Recovery led to global campaign against stigmatization of survivors, and recently, Nigeria with over 200 recoveries joined the cause.

The many signs and symptoms of COVID-19 are still being understood but commonly known progression is fever, coughs then shortness of breath that would require hospitalization. Nigerians have been well sensitized about these symptoms and a major preventive measure is social distancing to avoid respiratory droplets, therefore coughing and sneezing in public places are met with disdain rather than the usual “sorry” or “bless you” due to the CODIV-19 era.

However, these common COVID-19 symptoms — except for fever — mirror those suffered by people battling with other forms of respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and also asthma.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), asthma affects people of all ages. The disease is incurable and could be fatal in the event of a sudden attack. It is however non-communicable unlike COVID-19.

The global health agency’s 2019 asthma figures show that 200 million people are affected globally and over 80% of asthma-related deaths occur in low and lower-middle income countries. Nigeria is one of such countries, and a 2017-2018 survey reported diagnosis of approximately 13 million asthmatic individuals in the country.

Due to similarities in symptoms of both diseases, there is the possibility of people suffering asthma attack being prejudiced as COVID-19 patients by hospitals. While COVID-19 survivors are fighting stigmatization after winning the battle to life, should asthmatic individuals and others suffering some form of non-communicable respiratory illnesses suffer stereotyping and possibly lose the right to life?

As one who suffers this condition, the concern has grown into palpable fear as I recollected two scenarios I previously found myself before COVID-19 set foot in the country.

Sometime in November 2019, I woke up to a sudden asthma attack — few hours before dawn — that defied reprieve usually offered by a Ventolin inhaler, 8 mg of Salbutamol tablets was ineffective and natural tricks brought no reprieve. Sauntering out of my apartment alone in the dark to the major road, vigilantes who saw my struggles rallied around me until I got a commercial motorcycle that raced to the clinic in record time. Coughing, sweating and breathlessly struggling for life, two nurses and a doctor threw caution into the wind and swung into action to save me. Two hours later I was on my way to work!

Similarly, I recently shared, with three other occupants in close proximity, a taxicab moving behind a heavy-duty truck emitting a thick cloud of smoke from its exhaust. Despite the use of handkerchief, bronchospasm set in within minutes and led to sneezes, intense coughs and breathing difficulty. Sympathy reigned as I took long deep breaths after two puffs of my Ventolin inhaler. I regained proper use of my lungs and the driver further helped by tactfully overtaking the truck.

I doubt asthmatic individuals would retain luxury of this emergency response and empathy enjoyed in those situations in the present reality due to similarity of symptoms with COVID-19!

Coughing and sneezing are now frowned against in the public and could elicit abusive words, while signs of breathing difficulty requiring urgent medical attention could lead to commuters and onlookers scampering to safety. Worse still, the situation could turn into a spectacle, especially with this clout-chasing social media populace that could make a video of the incident and term it “a COVID-19 patient about to die on the street after showing symptoms” instead of helping a dying individual.

This situation is already upon us, with reports of public stigmatization emanating from Bauchi state, and hospitals reportedly threading with caution before accepting outpatients, and outright rejection in many, especially those exhibiting fever and respiratory symptoms. This also recently resulted in the loss of a pneumonia-suffering individual at the General Hospital in Lagos state. Rushed to the hospital, he was left unattended until his death which the hospital wanted to report as suspected COVID-19. This could be the new, sad and undeserved reality of millions of individuals managing respiratory illnesses in Nigeria.

Therefore, as the lockdown begins to ease in major cities across the country from next week, stereotyping and stigmatization of people in respiratory crisis should be avoided by medical personnel and the public. We should acknowledge the possibility of encountering and helping asthma sufferers, and others with chronic respiratory illnesses not related to COVID-19, while still practicing safety measures. Their survival could depend on those first few minutes of the encounter

The male gender has accounted for 91 percent of mysterious deaths in Kano, a new survey has revealed. 

According to the survey-based report seen by TheCable, 41.3 percent of those involved had a fever — one of the symptoms of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Over the past few weeks, strange deaths have claimed a number of prominent figures in Kano, the second-biggest state in Nigeria (by population).

The state government admitted the “strange deaths” and its severity on Sunday but blamed malaria and other terminal conditions but not COVID-19.

Report of contamination and closure of the molecular laboratory testing for COVID-19 in the state exacerbated the situation, fuelling speculations linking the deaths to a pandemic that has affected over 1,500 Nigerians.

Muhammad Garba, the state’s commissioner for health, further stated that verbal autopsy, a method of determining the cause of death via information gathered from people who knew the medical history of the deceased, would be used to unravel the situation.

The World Health Organization approves verbal autopsy as a vital tool in places where undocumented deaths are rife — but has standards for conducting such.

Since the strange deaths took over the state, Yusuf Yau Gambo, a lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, Yusuf Maitama Sule University in Kano, carried out a “community-based survey on reported increased mortality in Kano state,” giving “possible explanations with data”.

Gambo, an applied mathematician and data analyst, stated that the report, which has received attention from Kano State COVID-19 task force, is an attempt to provide timely intervention to understand the situation and to halt false narratives.

The survey, based on a very small sample size of 260 households from over 17 local government areas, revealed that half of the respondents (130 families) have each witnessed more than five deaths in their vicinity in the two-week period before the report.

About 67 percent of the respondents said the strange deaths started from 13 April and have continued up until when the survey concluded on April 25.

The report also revealed that most of the reported death cases by respondents happened in Kano metropolis with a vast majority of the deaths occurring in Kano Municipal LGA followed by Gwale and Dala LGAs.

The report also showed that fever was predominant in the sick but only 22% confirmed hospitalization before death, and one-third of the victims were sick for less than five days.

COVID-19 CANNOT BE RULED OUT
Giving a clinical perspective of the report, Auwal Abubakar, a medical doctor and incident manager at Bauchi State government’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), also noted the closeness of data with COVID-19.

“Although it’s hard to point out the possible cause of death based on the data, however, the possibility of relating the situation to the current COVID-19 pandemic could not be ruled out,” Abubakar said.

“This is because the data strongly aligns with the current COVID-19 pandemic in terms of symptoms, incubation period, age group affected and other demographic characteristics.”

Only one percent of deaths involved children, while about 50 percent involved adults — over the age of 60.

Gambo said the “executive report meant for authorities concerned to take decisive action”, recommending that the people “remain calm and let the authorities concerned to get to the bottom of the situation”.

Kano State currently has 115 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and President Muhammadu Buhari in his latest national address imposed a two-week lockdown on the northern State.

The people talking nonsense about this are simply ignorant!

Do you know that TB Joshua owns Emmanuel TV - the worlds most subscribed Christian YouTube channel with 1.7million subscribers? He offers prayers for his viewers every week!! It’s a normal thing to record him praying for his viewers.

Have you not watched his documentary? At the very beginning of his life - when nobody knew him - he had a cameraman record his activities. TB Joshua knows the value of record. How would we know about him if not for the videos we watched?

FYI, I heard TBJ say several times on Emmanuel TV that he actually LIVES in his ‘prayer mountain’ close to his church HQ in Lagos. Prayer is a way of life for him!

Anyway, for all those who are making snide comments, ask yourself what you have achieved that the whole world has taken notice of Go outside this country and you will see the way foreigners regard and value TB Joshua! Continue to make deriding comments on social media while TB Joshua continues his assignment from God with a worldwide impact!

My post was from a fela song and that's the reality of most Nigerians.

When Sowore was arrested many people actually laugh at him and I doubt if you actually came out. If you are not planing a revolution right now then all what you say up there is rubbish. Revolution don't happen on the Internet.

Jh0wsef:


Hello bruh. this might have to be with the family's consent. and I think they're too grieved right now to re-open their son's death story.

Jh0wsef:
Lol. Useless people. Una just snap from different angle so make we think say na multiple places una open. Tell those people that will run this place that they shouldn't run if they see someone coming to test.. Because most doctors now run away once they see a patient with even common malaria symptoms.


That's how I lost a friend to pneumonia few weeks ago. doctors ignored him, nurses didn't attend to him (imagine nurse wey dey run pass Bolt) and they even later forced suspected covid-19 in his report at General Hospital, Gbagada.

Since then, I lost hope in Nigerian Healthcare systems.

RIP GIDEON

CAUSTIC002:
I am presently stucked in Dakar, and follow the developments here via their biggest blog, I ve never come across any article about the 1 dollar test kit, I think its fake News. I also want to state the the alleged manufacturers 'Pasteur institute' is owned and funded by France.
That does not take away the fact that Dakar is better than any Nigerian city, power has not gone off since the start of this year, weather, road network, waste management, water, security, just to name a few. I just couldnt believe. Naija can do better.

watchindelta:
But senegal totals test 466 and 763 cases 9death, no understand strange

Sctests:
I'm professionally trained to be skeptical about news like this. And I'll ask the right questions before celebrating.

- What is the name of the kit and has it passed through clinical trials to ascertained it diagnostic value, sensitivity and speficity.

- Are the result for the clinical trials published online for scientists like us to peruse?

AshipaEk0:
