En 14-?rig pojke v?rdas i respirator efter att ha blivit sv?rt sjuk i vad som troligtvis ?r svininfluensan. Han tillh?r ingen riskgrupp.
Pojken v?rdas p? l?nssjukhuset i Kalmar och l?get f?r honom ?r allvarligt enligt bitr?dande smittskyddsl?kare Per-?ke Jarnheimer. En snabbanalys av prover som tagits visar att 14-?ringen har drabbats av influensa, och det finns starka misstankar om att det r?r sig om svininfluensan.
N?r pojken kom in till sjukhuset p? m?ndagseftermiddagen var han andf?dd och hade sv?righeter med att tillgodog?ra sig syre. Behandling med b?de antibiotika och Tamiflu har satts in.
Det ?r oklart varifr?n han har f?tt smittan och n?gon f?rklaring till varf?r han har blivit s? h?rt drabbad finns inte.
- Vi vet ju att vem som helst kan drabbas av sv?r infektion. Den h?r killen har ju inga riskfaktorer alls, och det ?r det som ligger i bakgrunden till att vi rekommenderar vaccination av alla, s?ger Per-?ke Jarnheimer.
Den 14-?rige pojken ?r Kalmar l?ns f?rsta sv?ra fall. Enligt den senaste influensarapporten fr?n Smittskyddsinstitutet v?rdades 51 patienter p? sjukhus i landet under vecka 44, varav tre i respirator och en behandlades med Ecmo - konstgjord lunga.
