Her teachers became aware of the
possible disease at the school when the teen referred about having a
headache and a sore throat, besides high fever and her nose was
running constantly.
Right away she was suspended from school and her parents were
informed on the situation, while the family doctor and the Eduardo
Agramonte Piña Children Hospital provided specialized advises on how
to deal with the case.
Claudia was home-hospitalized for 15 days after a throat exudates
performed on her confirmed the disease.
“The medical attention was very good, the family doctor and the
nurse were coming every day to my house to find out how I was
doing”, recalls Claudia.
Her mother, Barbara, told ACN news agency about the measures they
took at home, such as keeping the house clean, washing sheets and
clothes on daily basis, while preventing people from coming in and
the girl coming out, in order to avoid the influenza to spread.
Barbara thanked the Cuban revolution for the doctors’ care, who
visited them every afternoon, as well as the teachers; and all that
without having to pay a dime.
One of Claudia’s teachers, Roselia Cepeda, acknowledged that those
days were bad for the girl, since she is very fond of school and
loved by her classmates.
After her recovery, Claudia now advises youngsters around her to
constantly wash their hands, and to pay attention to the preventive
measures they are taught to take in the school, and on radio and TV.
