The Municipal Department of Health (Semsa) awaits the results of the serological examination to discover the causes of the deaths of two children in Manaus suspected of measles. A seven-month-old boy and a nine-year-old girl had not been vaccinated against measles and lived in areas where suspected cases were frequent. Manaus has 265 confirmed cases of the disease.
According to Semsa, the girl lived in the western zone and the boy in the border zone between the North and East zones, which has the highest incidence of measles cases in Manaus.
The date of death and the deadline for awarding the prize have not been disclosed.
