    Confirm two new cases of hantavirus: 34 have already been registered in Chubut
    February 8, 2019

    Since the outbreak was declared on December 3 in the town of Epuy?n, 11 people died as a result of the virus.

    The Ministry of Health of Chubut confirmed this Friday two new cases of hantavirus, so they amount to 34 infections in the province, where 11 people died since the last December 3 was declared an outbreak of the disease in the town of Epuy?n.

    The hantavirus is transmitted by contact with the urine, saliva and excreta of rodents infected with this virus but can also be spread from person to person by close contact with patients in the initial period of the febrile symptoms (first 48 to 72 hours).

    Its symptoms are fever, muscle aches, chills, headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and advanced stages, respiratory distress.

      Hantavirus: extienden el plazo de aislamiento

      La aparici?n de dos nuevos casos confirmados de hantavirus en la localidad de El Mait?n oblig? ayer a las autoridades sanitarias provinciales a redefinir el plazo de aislamiento de las personas que incuban la enfermedad para llevarlo de 30 a 45 d?as, aunque destacan que el brote -que origin? la muerte de 11 personas- est? en l?nea decreciente. En principio se hab?a anunciado que el mismo se levantar?a el pr?ximo viernes.

      Hantavirus: extend the term of isolation

      The appearance of two new confirmed cases of hantavirus in the town of El Mait?n yesterday forced the provincial health authorities to redefine the term of isolation of people who incubate the disease to take it from 30 to 45 days, although they highlight that the outbreak caused the death of 11 people - is in a decreasing line. In principle it had been announced that it would be lifted next Friday.



      "Clearly the outbreak is in a decreasing line, but even so these two cases appear that lead us to rethink the temporality of the isolation" said Telam, associate director of the programmatic area of ​​northwest Chubut, Jorge El?as.

      He indicated that what will be done is to redefine the isolation incubation period "from 30 days to 45 days, since although the situation of the last two confirmed cases was within the foreseeable, we are reviewing epidemiological technical issues that lead us to rethink the strategy ", assured El?as.

      And he maintained that "the epidemiological technical completion of the outbreak would be subject to the last positive case. The outbreak did not end; what we do is expand our safety margins. "

      The two new confirmed cases are that of a 26-year-old mother and her five-year-old daughter. To date, it was confirmed yesterday, there continue to be 34 confirmed cases, 11 of which died.

      BEST ANIMO

      Epuy?n has a stable population of 4,000 inhabitants and according to its intendant, Antonio Reato, "the mood of the population is better". Before the continuity of the isolation was known, the communal chief had said that "we are going to keep the minimum precautions in the closed places for about 10 days, until mid-February, because if we put up with so much, how can we not stand a little more?".

      Since January, the prohibition of mass meetings, schedule limitations and the mandatory use of masks in public places has been in force in the town.

      Quoted by the ABN Bariloche agency, Reato said that "the hanta issue is improving and the situation is hopeful because you notice it on the street, in the shops, in the supermarket; especially since there are no more patients in intensive care; many are coming out of selective isolation and for the week to come (for which it started yesterday) there will be very few left. "

      As for the town of Esquel, where the most critical cases of the outbreak were attended, this Sunday the provincial health ministry announced that "a patient of hantavirus was discharged from the Intensive Care Unit who was referred to the common room, with which there are no patients in that hospital care service in Esquel ". The patient is "convalescent in the ward". "Of the total of five patients who remain in isolation ward of the zonal hospital of Esquel, 3 were externados from the Intensive Care Unit and continue convalescing and 2 correspond to the last cases confirmed for hantavirus, remaining clinically stable," the report completes sanitary.

      This weekend ended the isolation to which she was subjected for 32 days with her two children and her partner, the young Mail?n Valle (25) who saw her father, Aldo, and two of his sisters, Loreley and J?ssica, die. of the hantavirus that started on a 15th birthday in the town of Epuy?n.

        Confirman transmisi?n de persona a persona de hantavirus en Epuy?n

        General Info 19-02-2019 19:50
        Confirm person to person transmission of hantavirus in Epuy?n

        The Secretariat of Health of the Nation, through the analysis of the National Administration of Laboratories and Health Institutes, confirmed the news.


        The Ministry of Health of the Government, through the analysis of the National Administration of Laboratories and Institutes of Health (ANLIS) "Dr. Carlos Malbr?n" confirmed the transmission from person to person in the outbreak of hantavirus with focus in Epuy?n that began the November 2, 2018 and that also affected the Chubut towns of Trevelin and El Mait?n, and El Bols?n in R?o Negro.

        "It is important to recognize the work of ANLIS professionals and highlight the installed capacity of our country to be able to give a conclusive answer that confirms the interhuman transmission at the genetic level in the Epuy?n outbreak," said the Health Secretary of the Government, Adolfo Rubinstein. .

        The official added that "as we thought from the start, the characteristics of this outbreak were different and the measures taken to contain it were exceptional." ANLIS studies today confirm that our hypothesis was correct and selective isolation was an appropriate tool " .

        The comparative analysis showed, as a first result, that the viral genotype causing the outbreak was indeed Andes Sur, which had already been identified by the classic genotype characterization techniques.

        In addition, a genetic identity percentage of 99.9 percent was found among all the sequences of the cases of this outbreak analyzed. This finding univocally confirms the mechanism of person-to-person transmission.

        The comparison with genomic sequences belonging to cases not related to the outbreak and corresponding to other endemic regions of the country, including those of the 1996 outbreak occurred in El Bols?n, allowed to identify "exclusive" changes in the viral genome of the strain involved in the outbreak of Epuy?n, which could confer a greater dispersal potential.

        It should be noted that, unlike what happened in El Bols?n in 1996, the Epuy?n outbreak was not self-limiting, but required the imposition of strict measures of selective respiratory isolation to cut the chain of transmission.

        On the other hand, it should be noted that in this outbreak the case fatality rate was almost double in women than in men (40% vs. 21.4%).

        Finally, this proved the hypothesis of person-to-person transmission that was maintained at the beginning of the outbreak, based on the pattern of occurrence of cases, grouped in a short period of time, added to the low abundance of rodents in the areas of residency of the cases and the environmental evaluation around the places of probable contagion.

        That is why due to the magnitude of the outbreak and its unusual degree of dispersion, the National Reference Laboratory for N Hantavirus (INEI) of ANLIS initiated a study to confirm the transmission mechanism by complete sequencing of the viral genome, using technology of new generation.

        The present analysis, using innovative new generation sequencing technologies, constitutes the first confirmatory report of the interhuman transmission mechanism by complete analysis of the Andes virus genome, the only hantavirus in the world that has shown this dispersal capacity to date.

            Confirmed death of a man due to hantavirus in Tandil
            The victim was 34 years old. His father said that "the attention they gave him in the Municipal Hospital was very bad".

            In the last hours it was known that, in the city of Tandil, a 34-year-old man died of hantavirus.

            The father of the victim, identified as Guillermo Ariel Maldonado, spoke with the newspaper El Eco about what happened: "We do not know how he could have contracted that symptom, which I do say that the attention they gave him at the Municipal Hospital was very bad. two days without medication. "

            Within the pain that manifested throughout the interview, he indicated that "I took my son on Saturday, March 30, to the hospital guard because he started to have fever and diarrhea. They gave him some pills, the diarrhea passed him but he still had a fever so we went back to have him checked. There they gave him an injection to lower the temperature and he was told that the pills he was taking every 6 hours, he would take them every 4 hours. "

            He said that when they started giving him medication "he had already taken his lungs" and the picture took "extreme gravity". Finally, after staying in Intensive Therapy, he died.

            In parallel, they indicated that Bromatolog?a is carrying forward the investigation to determine where it could have been infected since it had some risk jobs and occupations that could have been where the disease was contagious.
