Congolese girl dies of TB in The Netherlands

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

HELMOND, Brabant province, The Netherlands. December 4 2007 — Nenette, a 19-year-old technical college student of Congolese descent, has died of Tuberculosis in the Netherlands. Only about 1,400 new TB cases are identified annually in the Netherlands — and very few ever die of it. The story thus is headline news countrywide.

The girl, identified only by her first name of Nenette, was a scholar at the Dr. Knippenberg College in Helmond, Brabant province.

She was admitted to the local hospital with a diagnosis of Tuberculosis only ONE WEEK before she died on Sunday.

Her death has had an ‘enormous impact’ on her classmates, said College rector Berrie Horsten.

PLACE YOUR OWN COMMENT on this Dutch newspaper’s website about XDR-TB — PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP the sensitivities of her family in mind:

The provincial preventative-health care authority (the GGD) has launched a TB-testing programme amongst all her contacts, classmates and relatives to find out how many other people she may have infected. Her classmates were given a ‘Mantoux-injection” which identifies the tuberculosis bacteria in the bloodstream. X-rays will be taken once depending on these results.

Joost van der Steen, a spokesman for the local GGD, said they were as yet not sure that the girl had been infectious to others at all. “She may have had dormant TB for many years, ” he added.

Southeastern-Brabant province only gets about fifteen new TB cases a year – and more than half of these new cases had been infected in either Asia or Africa.

The Netherlands has a network of preventative health-care centres, (GGD-centres) where all new legal immigrants must be screened for TB.
And illegal immigrants — who often report to asylum-seekers’ centres to obtain housing in this overcrowded country — also get screened as soon as they report in.

The Dutch health authorities made no mention of the fact that about 10% of the TB cases worldwide have mutated into the deadly Extremely-Drug-Resistant strain over the past few years – with the largest XDR-TB infected populations found in African countries.

This incurable epidemic has spread very rapidly from South Africa to the rest of the African continent this past year.
