Outbreak of Killer Disease in Panama

There's been an outbreak of a strange disease in Panama. People are dying, and no one knows what's causing it. The CDC is sending experts there to try to figure out exactly what it is that's killing people.

The latest update says that a total of 22 people have been infected and 15 of them have died. (IOW, so far 68% of the people who've contracted this mystery disease have not survived it.)

They think it might be caused by contaminated food, but they really don't know because they've never seen anything like this before. The infection develops quickly. The disease starts out mimicking the common flu then rapidly progresses to kidney failure, paralysis, and death. People are getting very sick, very fast, and they are either dying or ending up on dialysis.

Here are some links to articles (written in English) which explain what is going on:
