    21. 10. 2009 |

    MOSCOW, October 21. Itar-Tass Anna Bazhenov.

    The number is really ill new flu in Russia in ten times the official statistics. This opinion was expressed today at the press conference, Director of the Institute of influenza Academician Oleg Kiselyov.

    "All these data are flocking to the Federal Service, and I do not consider them trustworthy" - says academician. According to him, there is underestimation of the real numbers. "Understatement is effective in the beginning of the process in order to reassure the public, but it is madness, when we enter into the development of a pandemic situation," - confident scientist.

    Oleg Kiselyov noted that this opinion is shared by the Institute of Virology RAMS.

We know that when visiting a patient with respiratory symptoms the doctor makes the diagnosis based on clinical picture. Biological materials for laboratory studies are not taken.

    "On average, a new influenza mortality is 2-4 times more than the seasonal flu," - recalled the academician. He described it as "more rigid, severe disease as compared with normal seasonal strains.

    He also said that in the case of influenza A / H1N1 / ill person with chronic illness, 40 percent of cases, it needs to be hospitalized in intensive care or intensive care.

    "The first two days of disease symptoms is identical to other influenza viruses," - said Kiselev. According to him, the fracture occurs for 4-6 days, when can develop pneumonia.

    The scientist called the Russians must be inculcated against influenza, and in case of illness immediate use in the treatment of antiviral drugs.

    He emphasized that taking medication will reduce the likelihood of complications, sometimes very heavy.


    Among the drugs sold in pharmacies Russian Academician Kiselev, in particular, recommended a number of drugs interferon, as well as "arbidol", "ingavirin", "cycloferon.

    Deputy Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova: "We do not conceal information about the swine flu

    WHO experts believe that Russia has done the most careful diagnosis of the H1N1 virus

    Veronika Skvortsova: "The situation with swine flu in Russia calm.

    Anna Kukartseva - 21.10.2009

    At the scandalous statement by the Director Research Institute of Influenza RAMS Oleg Kiselyov that statistics on swine flu, we shamelessly went unreported and understated, immediately followed by a response of the Ministry of Health and sotsrazvitiya:

    - To date in Russia, 174 people suffering from influenza A/H1N1, some of them are hospitalized, some treated at home, - said Deputy Minister of Health and sotsrazvitiya Veronika Skvortsova. - 956 people - a common figure people, beginning with the first case of detection of 21 May this year.

    Also, the deputy minister specified that the WHO has decided on July 16 that carefully examine each case of suspected swine influenza is not necessary.

    - And not just because it is resource-and cost-effective, but primarily because over 90% of the patients "swine flu" sick in a very mild form, and only 10% - a moderate or severe cases - explain the Ministry of Health.

    - This mild form of clinically differs not only from other influenza viruses, but also from other acute respiratory viral diseases. Nevertheless, in our country almost every case of influenza, if it differed from the common cold, was subjected to laboratory diagnosis.

    After numerous visits to our experts, WHO noted that a more thorough diagnosis of the virus A/H1N1 they are not recorded anywhere. Therefore, accusations of concealing information from some experts simply incompetent.

    And in general, according to Skvortsova, the situation with swine flu in Russia calm. Lot of work done to confront the pandemic. And do not be brow-beat.
