40 000 contract serious virus in Ukraine, 30 dead
-------------------------------------------------
As the world enters the [influenza] season, another possible virus
emerges as 30 people in the Eastern European country of Ukraine have
died from this latest flu [virus infection].

Each country is dealing with their own cases of the pandemic (H1N1)
2009 virus infection and many have even [under]taken vaccination, but
is H1N1 the only flu out there? A viral infection in Ukraine has taken
the lives of 30 people and at 1st it seemed like an ordinary flu but
after a week the symptoms worsened.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide reports 40 000 Ukrainians have contracted
the disease and at least 100 are in the hospital. Tests are currently
being conducted and all that is known is that it is not the pandemic
(H1N1) 2009 strain of influenza virus [but see comment below].

A large number of schools and childcare facilities are being shut
down, especially in the city of Lvov [Lviv in western Ukraine -
Mod.CP]. Also, government agencies are handing out surgical masks and
gloves to people in the western part of Ukraine.

However, Russia Today is reporting that it is A/H1N1 or Californian
Flu [i.e., the A/California/7/2009 strain from which the current
pandemic vaccines are derived - Mod.CP] and the total number of deaths
is closer to 40.

Prime Minister Timoshenko [of Ukraine] stated, "Express-tests cannot
provide a hundred percent verification of the virus; they give only 50
percent accuracy. That's why blood [samples from] those who died were
sent to special laboratories for further testing, and only this
morning it was confirmed that at least 11 deaths were caused by the
A/H1N1 [pandemic 2009] virus."

The Ukrainian government is calling for international aid to help
fight their epidemic and President Yushchenko believes the country
needs more than USD 6 million to battle the epidemic.

[ProMED-mail also thanks Sharon Sanders for bringing this outbreak of
an undiagnosed influenza-like illness to our attention. It now
appears, contrary to an initial denial and continuing uncertainty,
that the outbreak is likely a consequence of pandemic A (H1N1) 2009
virus infection. ProMED-mail would welcome further information from
any informed source.

Swine flu fear grips Ukraine as death toll dramatically rises
By Gemma Fox.

Ukraine residents have begun panic-buying face masks and influenza medicines as the death toll from the country's swine flu epidemic rises dramatically in 24 hours.
The President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, announced to the country today that the death toll from the H1N1 virus has risen to 50, a dramatic rise from his announcement twenty-hours previously when he'd announced that the toll was 11.
The swine flu epidemic appears to be spreading rapidly in Ukraine with latest figures suggesting that 150,000 people are ill with the virus.
As a preventative measure, for the next three weeks all playgroups, schools and universities will remain closed and the government has also banned mass gatherings as a precaution.
The government, looking at setting up anti-swine flu measures, have announced a package worth 40 millions Euros.
Since the bird flu epidemic a few years ago the price of of flu medications in Ukraine has risen as much as 300 per cent.
As an indication of the worry and fear the Ukrainian people are feeling one lady who was queuing for flu medications gave this account, ?What can I say? There is no medicine in the chemists. How come nobody prepared for this epidemic? Children are sick. The elderly are sick. There are no masks, not even basic pills. People are queuing and waiting for supplies to come, but nobody knows if they will come or not.? Vote up this article!

Preliminary tests have shown that eleven, out of thirty-three fatal victims, have died from swine flu.
?Unfortunately, we have to state that an an A/H1N1 flu epidemic has in fact started in Ukraine," said Kniazevych at a press conference. Ukraine?s Health Ministry is planning to impose quarantine in the whole country.
From News.pl yesterday. 33 people died from unknown flu virus but 11 were confirmed to have died of a strain of H1N1 (or A). What they're actually worrying about is that the virus is mutating fast and that it won't be the common strain of H1N1 they're dealing with but an unknown one. The border with Poland may be closed due to the fact that Ukrainians are racing over it to buy flu meds which are not available for them in Ukraine (regardless of the strain of flu). Now Poland is worrying that this rush will spread the virus to them faster. Panic brings disaster.

WHO mission to visit Ukraine nn Nov. 2
October 31 at 16:31 | Ukrainian News The mission of the World Health Organization will visit Ukraine on November 2 to study the situation in the regions hit by the A(H1N1) flu epidemic.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Petro Poroshenko announced this after the conference call meeting chaired by Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Saturday.

According to him, the mission will comprise five members.

Poroshenko said Ukraine is likely to receive humanitarian aid next week (November 2 through November 9).

As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked the European Commission and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) provide Ukraine with humanitarian aid to help fight A(H1N1) flu epidemic.

Ukraine intends to ask the World Health Organization and the international community to provide anti-viral medicines as humanitarian aid because of the epidemic of the A(H1N1) influenza in the country.

Russia intending to help Ukraine fight the A(H1N1) epidemic.

India intends to provide Ukraine with medicines for preventing the influenza epidemic in the country from spreading.

On October 30, the Health Ministry declared the A(H1N1) epidemic in Ukraine.

Non-western media do not know what the flu is...

RIA/NOVOSTI IS NOT A WESTERN MEDIA OUTLET and despite this, stated repeatedly that in Ukraine H1N1 2009 is circulating.

To note further that Ukraine Influenza Reference Laboratory (cited by EuroFlu) has isolated H1N1 2009 in some patients samples.

I posted earlier an extensive number of reference to local offices and authorities that may be contacted for informations.

I should suspect that even Italy has a ''mutated'' strain because in a few days dozens of people have been hospitalized in critical conditions.

It may be the case, of course.

The issue for Ukraine and other eastern european regions and former USSR states regards mainly the derelict conditions of public health infrastructure and the widespread diffusion of HIV, tubercolosis and vaccine-preventable communicable diseases.

To detach social and economical issues from epidemics course may be hazardous if the purpose is to understand the reasons behind a specific scenario.

First, to analyse provided data from National Influenza Centre (associated to the international virological surveillance).

Second, to monitor epidemic course.

Third, to dispel rumors and hoaxes.

Four, to take into account social and economical status of a region.

If we want to understand because recent Zimbabwe cholera epidemic has been so deadly, we must also see the local reality of a lack of potable water and wastewater treatment...

Ukraine confirms 39 swine flu deaths

01/11/2009

KIEV, November 1 (RIA Novosti) - Swine flu has been the cause of 39 deaths in Ukraine while over 150,000 people are believed to have been infected with the virus, the Ukrainian Health Ministry said on its website.

The A/H1N1 virus, known as the swine flu, originated in the Tirnopol Region in western Ukraine and is believed to have spread to the neighboring Ivano-Frankovsk, Lvov and some other regions.

As of October 31, 14 people died from swine flu in the Lvov region, 13 in the Tirnopol region, six in the Ivano-Frankovsk region, three in the Chernovtsy region, two in the Rovno region and one person in the Volyn region, the ministry's website said.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said on Saturday that 48 people had died of the virus.

The Ukrainian government has ordered to shut down schools and cinemas in the country in an effort to stop the spread of the epidemic and has already channeled $12.5 million into the purchase of anti-swine flu medicines and medical equipment.

Минздрав подтвердил смерть 53 человек от гриппа

01.11.2009 13:00

Министерство здравоохранения Украины подтвердило сегодня смерть 53 человек от эпидемии гриппа.

Всего, по данным министерства, в Украине заболело 184 919 человек, госпитализировано - 7 383 человека.

Наиболее серьезная ситуация в Западных областях, в которых 30 октября Кабмин ввел карантин , особенно в Ивано-Франковской, Тернопольской, Львовской.

Вчера министр здравоохранения Василий Князевич заявил, что динамика гриппа такова, что эпидемия движется в Центральную Украину.

Сегодня сообщается, что грипп добрался до Одесской области: с диагнозом "острая пневмония" в Балтской районной больнице скончалась 41-летняя женщина.

До госпитализации она несколько дней продолжала работать на швейной фабрике, игнорируя признаки заболевания – высокую температуру и кашель.

"Экспресс-диагностика "калифорнийского" гриппа А/Н1N1 не подтвердила, - сообщила УНИАН начальник райотдела здравоохранения Лариса Стреминовская. - Окончательные результаты будут известны через несколько дней".

По данным ВОЗ, по всему миру от вируса H1N1 умерли около 5 тысяч человек. Эта цифра считается приблизительной, так как многие страны перестали вести подсчет количества смертей от свиного гриппа.

В украинских церквях молятся о прекращении эпидемии гриппа

Этим утром во всех православных храмах Украины свершается специальная молитва – "Молебное пение во время губительного поветрия и смертоносныя заразы", которое традиционно отправляется в православной церкви во время распространения опасных болезней.

Соответствующее циркулярное письмо из благословения предстоятеля Украинской православной церкви рассылается во все епархии УПЦ.

Украинская православная церковь призывает духовенство и верных к молитве за быстрейшее прекращение распространения болезни и выздоровления больных, отмечается в сообщении пресс-службы УПЦ МП.

Сегодня в Украину поступила первая гуманитарная помощь из Польши ("Тамифлю" и марлевые повязки).

В то же время в украинских аптеках по-прежнему не хватает противогриппозных препаратов и марлевых масок. Вчера первый вице-премьер-министр Александр Турчинов объявил, что для преодоления ажиотажного спроса лекарства от гриппа будут продаваться исключительно по рецептам.

Минздрав подтвердил смерть 53 человек от гриппа

01.11.2009 13:00

Министерство здравоохранения Украины подтвердило сегодня смерть 53 человек от эпидемии гриппа.

Всего, по данным министерства, в Украине заболело 184 919 человек, госпитализировано - 7 383 человека.

Наиболее серьезная ситуация в Западных областях, в которых 30 октября Кабмин ввел карантин , особенно в Ивано-Франковской, Тернопольской, Львовской.

Вчера министр здравоохранения Василий Князевич заявил, что динамика гриппа такова, что эпидемия движется в Центральную Украину.

Сегодня сообщается, что грипп добрался до Одесской области: с диагнозом "острая пневмония" в Балтской районной больнице скончалась 41-летняя женщина.

До госпитализации она несколько дней продолжала работать на швейной фабрике, игнорируя признаки заболевания – высокую температуру и кашель.

"Экспресс-диагностика "калифорнийского" гриппа А/Н1N1 не подтвердила, - сообщила УНИАН начальник райотдела здравоохранения Лариса Стреминовская. - Окончательные результаты будут известны через несколько дней".

По данным ВОЗ, по всему миру от вируса H1N1 умерли около 5 тысяч человек. Эта цифра считается приблизительной, так как многие страны перестали вести подсчет количества смертей от свиного гриппа.

В украинских церквях молятся о прекращении эпидемии гриппа

Этим утром во всех православных храмах Украины свершается специальная молитва – "Молебное пение во время губительного поветрия и смертоносныя заразы", которое традиционно отправляется в православной церкви во время распространения опасных болезней.

Соответствующее циркулярное письмо из благословения предстоятеля Украинской православной церкви рассылается во все епархии УПЦ.

Украинская православная церковь призывает духовенство и верных к молитве за быстрейшее прекращение распространения болезни и выздоровления больных, отмечается в сообщении пресс-службы УПЦ МП.

Сегодня в Украину поступила первая гуманитарная помощь из Польши ("Тамифлю" и марлевые повязки).

В то же время в украинских аптеках по-прежнему не хватает противогриппозных препаратов и марлевых масок. Вчера первый вице-премьер-министр Александр Турчинов объявил, что для преодоления ажиотажного спроса лекарства от гриппа будут продаваться исключительно по рецептам.
