    IN ATYRAU SWINE FLU YET NO ONE DIED

    Second week, the city excite rumors about cases of teenage deaths from influenza. Parents of students of urban schools say they are afraid to send their children to school, where the alleged fatal cases were registered among students from an unknown influenza virus.

    In the infectious diseases hospital, where the first had to bring seriously ill children, assure that cases of death among patients who did not. The exception - the death of an infant with congenital malformations.

    "While the SES is based on laboratory analysis of our patients did not confirm any of the variety of influenza," - said the chief doctor of the regional infectious diseases hospital Shybyntay SHERMAHANOV.

    He also said that the recent flow of patients has decreased, presumably due to the extension mode of urban clinics. Doctors now recommend that patients be treated at home, and hospitalized only in cases of severe complications.

    At Goro, in turn, also said that reports of deaths of schoolchildren against influenza, the administrations of schools number 16 and number 21, which said parents are excited, have been reported.

    "On the contrary, the children got cold and started to return to school" - said a senior school inspector Goro Dariga SHOHANAEVA.

    Deputy oblSES Erbolat UAIS confirmed in reports hospitalized with SARS and in Atyrau region, while deaths among children and adults, fortunately, is not registered. And the presence of influenza virus, including A (H1N1), except as an employee TCO, not detected.

    E. UAIS explained that the tests are collected not at all ill, and those who do have symptoms, other than SARS, such as muscle pain, severe chills. Asked whether local doctors "catch" the flu, while his vehicle did not become a source of infection for many people, sanepidemiolog refused. It turned out that the only lab - RGKP Atyrau Center for sanitary-epidemiological expertise is in the regional center.

    In the present situation the existence of such laboratories in areas not provided. At present, the virology laboratory in Atyrau flocking data (swabs from the throat and nose, and blood) of patients from Atyrau and districts. According to E. Uaisova, weekly here investigated up to 100 tests, which are tested on all varieties of influenza three medical practices. With immunnofluorestsentnogo analyzer, PCR diagnosis, virological examination and serological analysis of blood.

    For diagnosis fairly positive result on one of the indicators. In this case, as previously reported, the analysis necessarily sent to the Republican reference laboratory for confirmation.

    It turns out that we have no protection against influenza, whether seasonal or pork. Swine influenza claims the lives of people around the world, in Ukraine, neighboring Russia. While the Kazakh authorities have assured that the swine flu in the country does not, the people of Kazakhstan are killed by "unknown" physicians pneumonia.

    Where will the beginning of an influenza pandemic in the Atyrau region, where people come to work almost from around the world and there is a whole layer of workers, unskilled labor and is not seeking a doctor in case of illness, is unknown.
