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 die 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.
