Aruba: Death Due to Dengue after Woman Battled Leukemia

 

Death due to dengue, One Dengue Island …

Imagine battling, beating and surviving leukemia. Then have your leukemia go in to remission, only to go to Aruba and Denguedie from dengue? A woman returned from the Netherlands after being treated for leukemia only to die from dengue after returning to Aruba. Is there something in the water, other than the dengue? One wonders how Aruban officials will blame this poor woman for contracting dengue?

ORANJESTAD – A 26-year old woman died from dengue last week.  This woman has leukemia and had recently returned from the Netherlands, where she was treated for leukemia.  She was in remission when she came back to Aruba and a dengue infection was fatal for her. (Amigoe, 12/8/07)

Aruba (Dengue): “How can people understand the seriousness … if they are not informed?”

We are still talking about Dengue? Or is this a metaphor for pretty much every thing that occurs on Aruba where the Aruban officials attempt to misinform not only their people, but the world? So its not just misinformation regarding Natalee Holloway, its a pattern.

      aruba: Expect the worse

      Genuine condolences to the woman’s family. On the other hand,this is the very type of news that needs to be posted on the internet. Let’s educate the public. The continuing misinformation and disinformation of facts and warnings that emmanates from the powers that be in Aruba…..the Caribbean destination of death….is an embarrassment to the free world. Who would want to go there for any reason? BOYCOTT the sand bar for health reasons!

      Could this be the first of the plagues??????
      Before Natalee is freed.

      I agree, this is so sad for this poor woman who battled lukemia only to be taken from dengue, on a vacation no less.

      I really think no one should travel to Aruba until this TOO is taken care of.
      Shouldn’t this event be listed by the CDC or a travel advisory?

    5. Richard on December 11th, 2007 1:13 pm

      One would think the State Department would issue a warning to travelers.

      On the other hand, one would think that would have been done long ago for Aruba ….

      God works in mysterious ways?

      Counting the days til Cozumel. Boycott Aruba…forever.

    7. Richard on December 11th, 2007 2:37 pm

      It’s also interesting that this woman was rather young, at 26. I can’t speak about whether dengue is especially hard on leukemia patients, as I don’t know … but if it hits a young person so hard, then elderly people would seem to be at much greater risk.

      And if elderly people use cruise ships, which stop at Aruba … well, it’s clear enough.

    8. Richard on December 11th, 2007 2:59 pm

      Anyone remember this man? I’m not trying to imply that there is a parallel (not necessarily, anyway) between Natalee’s case and this depraved maniac … but this happened, over the period of years, in the United States.

      No gang was involved, just one maniac.

      But some of these girls and women were held for extended periods.

      Couldn’t happen in Aruba, of course, because there are no drug lords or evil people there.

      (AP) A retired handyman pleaded guilty Tuesday to holding five women captive as sex slaves in an underground bunker over a 15-year period.

      John Jamelske, 68, pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree kidnapping. Under a plea deal, Jamelske could serve 18 years to life. Sentencing is scheduled July 15.

      Each count carried a maximum penalty of 25 years to life in prison, which meant Jamelske could have served up to 125 years behind bars.

      Jamelske was indicted on the five kidnapping charges two weeks ago.

      He has been held without bail since he was arrested April 7 on charges of holding a 16-year-old girl hostage for nearly seven months in a two-room concrete dungeon he built under the back yard of his suburban Syracuse home. The two small rooms contained a small tub, a bucket for a toilet, a microwave oven and a mattress.

      Following Jamelske’s arrest, police identified four other women who said they were abducted and raped by him dating back to 1988.

      Authorities say the victims included a 14-year-old girl taken in 1988, a 13-year-old girl in 1995, a 53-year-old woman in 1997, a 26-year-old in 2001 and the 16-year-old freed in April.

      According to investigators, some of the victims said they went willingly with Jamelske after being offered a ride or coaxed into his car. The youngest teenagers had histories of running away from home. The 26-year-old woman told police she was high on drugs when she accepted a ride from Jamelske in 2001.

      She went to police after she was released following two months of captivity, but was unable to lead investigators to the house. The older woman, who was held nine months, also was unable to tell police where she was held.

      One of the teens was held for nearly two years, the other for 13 months, police said.

      this story dates back to 2001, I believe.

      Hey isn’t that funny, just as everyone is pointing to aruba for covering up crime’s

      The US get’s it’s own share off covering up crimes commited by US citizens in Iraq on other US citizens.

      Now that’s called Irony.

      http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3977702&page=1

      “Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR

      A Houston, Texas woman says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad, and the company and the U.S. government are covering up the incident.”

      And the funny part is, evidence seems to go missing also and no one is being dragged to trial either.

      If it hadn’t of been for Natalee and her loving family and our special friend Jossy, we would never of know all of this. An awareness that none of us ever knew…or even suspected…I hope alot of lives have been saved. The truth of Aruba has been unveiled!!

      Advertising a safe and happy island…another cover-up…but never to be said ever, ever again!!!

    19. Crioyo on December 11th, 2007 6:46 pm

      come on….I beg to differ.
      Dengue is usually always brought over from Venezuela.

      In Aruba they actually do a lot about informing people about the dangers of Dengue, there are government programs where they go house-to-house to check people’s yards and make sure there are no breeding places and they also disinfect entire neighborhoods strictly as a precautionary measure.

      But do go ahead, spin yet another story into a Natalee issue….Get your kicks….

      Crioyo’s comment about the efficacy of Aruba in checking for dengue is very interesting … some threads back, an article from Amigoe admits that one of every four Aruban homes is a breeding place for the mosquito that carries dengue.

      A future career option for law enforcement officials on Aruba?

    28. LilPuma on December 11th, 2007 8:21 pm

      11. Kloot. Now that we know, we won’t support it, blame the victim, and help them cover it up, as is being done in Aruba. THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE.

      Dengue is just one more reason not to go to Aruba.

      I hope no one minds that this is reposted; I think it is important enough not to get lost; Whatever became of all that evidence.
      (as if we didn’t know)
      “Of all the “evidence” collected that may have been useful, in my opinion was discarded.
      A copy of Natalee’s dental records could have been compared to the pieces of foam with the imbedded teeth marks. Saliva on the foam could have been compared to Beth’s DNA sample. What happened to that along with the bottle with the unknown liquid, the VCB shirt that was never checked for DNA nor the sport sun glasses like Geoff wears. The body oil and dead skin cells from the glasses too could have been checked and DNA analysis could have been compared with Geoff’s. If not enough for DNA at least the cells could be checked for being either male or female. XX vs XY Biology 101.
      Maybe that is why Geoff almost crapped his pants when he saw the Beach Security while walking with that female tourist when Natalee’s name was mentioned.”

    31. Melissa on December 11th, 2007 9:43 pm

      Those dengue only sting on delicious blood like Arubians so you guys don’t need to worry because you guys have bad evil blood so they should run away for you guys!

If anything the Islanders should be immune to it, like your sand fleas….dumb,dumb,dumb…

    44. brie on December 12th, 2007 12:58 pm

      Mosquito can cause dengue fever, malaria and yellow fever.

      The Aedes mosquito carrying dengue fever likes to bite during the daytime. Other mosquitoes like to bite at night.

      They like to breed at water tanks used at construction sites. A lot of that going on in Aruba. Also like drums, barrels, pots, buckets, flower vases, plant pots, discarded bottles.

      Lots of blue drums on the home owners property.

      The pond by the Marriott would be a hot spot.

      Air-conditioners, another breeding spot. Plenty of those on Aruba.

      There is not a vaccine for dengue fever. Some people bitten now have a low immune system. If still alive!

      Travel advisory–wear mosquito nets, long-sleeve shirts, long pants and high top elastic socks. Spray you socks with repellent.

      THIS IS A 24/7 CAUTION AND VERY DANGEROUS

    45. brie on December 12th, 2007 1:32 pm

      We can’t thank our Americans enough for volunteering to do the water search. Sounds like they are enduring some pretty severe weather conditions. How ever long it takes them to get there they need to travel safely. There,s a team of 20 to 25 people and we don’t want to loose anyone.

    46. Dolf on December 13th, 2007 9:44 am

      yep big storm is preventing the search.
      hopefully it shakes up the sea and exposes things.

      btw. Brie a musquito is not uncommon, think Florida marshes

    47. dennisintn on December 14th, 2007 3:48 pm

      #l9, now there’s a great aruban mind at work. the aruban health dept. warns of dengue fever outbreak and warns everyone that l out of every 4 houses on the island has been found to have breeding places and asks people to police up their own property. this guy comes here and informs us that the dengue fever is always brought over from venezuela. i can see the formations of dengue carrying mosquitos marshaling in the skies over venezuela getting ready to raid aruba. reminescent of wwII bombers gathering over britain getting ready to raid france and germany. can you imagine the wingtanks on those skeeters? a l5 mile trip to aruba is quite a hop, wouldn’t you think? one serious question here: has anyone from aruba accepted responsiblity for anything?
      dennisintn

    48. Richard on December 14th, 2007 5:06 pm

      Not only that, DennisIntl … the poster who informed us of the mosquito flight patterns seemed to be implying: “Hey, it didn’t start here … so it’s not a problem for us. Doesn’t matter.”

      If dengue is prevalent on Aruba, then the danger is on Aruba. Just like drugged drinks and psychopathic locals, protected by the law….
