Huajuapan de Leon, Oaxaca .- The mayor of San Antonio Acutla died of atypical pneumonia in the hospital Pilar Sanchez Villavicencio this city after having been hospitalized about 10 days in the hospital, where doctors can not yet rule out that death gave cause human influenza AH1N1, that they are waiting for results by the official laboratory where the tests were sent.

The now deceased by the name of Eleuterio Santiago Rivera Reyes 50-year-old who came to this city to be served by a strong box which he developed flu-like [atypical pneumonia], which has not been determined whether it was acquired by the spread of influenza AH1N1 .

The days before his death the mayor of family visits was isolated by the critical condition where he was, according to unofficial sources commented that there was sufficient attention paid to attend this lung condition and results of the analysis to far have not come, so could not give the right doctor since they know the cause of pneumonia.

So far two deaths now number of councilors of the Mixteca in less than a week since last Monday the Mayor of San Miguel Tulancingo who answered to the name of Daniel Jimenez Rivera died of this disease and health authorities have not making known the results of the analysis to verify whether the president was infected by the virus AH1N1.

Re: Growing atypical pneumonia cases in Puebla

And the blue text is the MOTHER of a fatality, who says her daughter died of influenza, but the doctors called it atypical pneumonia. This is telling evidence of coverup...

http://www.enlineadirecta.info/nota.php?art_ID=107324&titulo=Pag__caro_dudar_del_virus_AH1N1_.html

Reynosa, Tamaulipas.-The cases of people suffering AH1N1 virus continues to increase, just in Tamaulipas thousand have been detected 283 cases, mostly in the southern state, though the collective psiociosis still making mischief, are many who go to hospitals and health centers in the town searching for answers to their symptoms that clearly coincide with the moral virus.

Many return to their homes and jobs, with recipes influenza in hand, others remain hospitalized but labeled "Possible Influenza" which are then replaced by "atypical pneumonia" as happened to the daughter of Rosalie Vera Olguin who after 10 days died fighting.

"Pay doubt expensive, on learning we intend to make a common front to help staff suffering from this disease, we remain drug that killed our daughter and then we were at the disposal of donating and then came out to claim the concern, and today my daughter's loss motivates us to look like trying to save lives that are in a similar situation "refers Olguin Vera.

Rosalio Olguin Vera who heads the Union of Veracruz to Reynosa asked whether the media who build on this front to provide them medication to families.

She said her daughter left to die in 3 children orphaned and therefore strive to ensure that this situation is not repeated so that the citizens requested more awareness and adhere to the preventive measures to avoid more deaths from influenza virus.

Finally include the death of Jasmine Martinez Olguin Veracruz daughter of the leader came after a respiratory arrest after the General Hospital determined that it was a pneumonia, Vera Olguin nevertheless considers, upon being transferred from Macallen Hospital in search of a better attention they established that it was influenza.

"The Macallen wanted to move, nurse determined that it was influenza, but unfortunately no longer could do anything after 10 days of symptoms and the disease was far advanced, had paralyzed bodies so unfortunately died," he said.

Today it is only Rosalio claim for lack of credibility about the virus so AH1N1 has already contacted several patients with influenza to help them get medicine and even though the death of his daughter's death was established as pneumonia today more than ever think it was influenza who took the life of his daughter just 34 years.

Re: Growing atypical pneumonia cases in Puebla

OK. This might be bad. Here's a case diagnosed as influenza, treated with antivirals (Tamiflu?), but the antivirals didn't work. And now her daughter (7yr old) was hospitalized as well.

This is not in Puebla - it is in Tamaulipas.

Increased maternal deaths due to influenza. Puebla with more deaths
By In?s Garc?a Nieto
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

An Internet statement by the Epidemiology Division of the SS mentions the deaths of nine women per month as a result of pneumonia and influenza, and the letter stated that the August 19, 2009 there had been 682 maternal deaths.

He also claims that the problem is growing, in 2008 it was recorded and confirmed four deaths from the disease mother.

Why pneumonia or respiratory complications and does not mention that the patient died of influenza?

Was the question asked physicians IMSS de Orizaba, to the knowledge of the death of a pregnant teacher from the Technological Institute, a victim of the influenza virus.

A doctor asked that his name not commenting no knowledge of the case, yet contributed valuable data to reinforce hygiene measures as prevention citizen said .- "The influenza virus facilitates the entry of many other bacteria in the airways , so when the person dies it is said that complications due to pneumonia or acute respiratory "

As at 30 September 2009, the Health Ministry recorded 32 thousand confirmed 950 cases of human influenza in the population.

According to epidemiological system report of the General Directorate of Epidemiology of the SS, the states with most cases of maternal deaths due to pneumonia-influenza are Puebla, Tabasco, Veracruz, Hidalgo, Mexico City, Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco, Merida, Yucatan and the State of Mexico.

The health problem is greater when the patient is diabetic, has low defenses, HIV or cancer, suffer from liver problems, asthma, obesity, heart disease and for women in pregnancy.

Deaths according to age.

Deaths in 236 confirmed cases of influenza at 30 September 2009, the population aged 45 to 49 people have died by 14%. From 35 to 39 years by 11 percent. From 25 to 29 years has passed 10.6%. From 20 to 24 years 10.2%

And 50 to 54 years has died about 6 percent.

Maternal deaths, the vast majority who have not been settled because of the influenza virus, because the study more effective at the time, the RSP takes over 20 days to return to the Sanitary Jurisdiction they referred to the Infectious Diseases Race / National Institute of Epidemiological Reference (Indre)

At present health sector doctors rely on the diagnosis of patient symptoms, and in other cases with the "test" but is not reliable, according to professionals of the Indre.

The documentary broadcast on the Discovery Chanel on Friday, October 9 reported that the first two cases of swine flu were reported in March in California: "A new virus is present", adding:

In April 2009 the 60 percent of the population of La Gloria, Veracruz had symptoms of influenza. On 13 killed in Oaxaca, a victim of H1N1, a 39-year-name Adela Maria Gutierrez.

The growth of swine flu that makes the chair of WHO Margaret Chan that the world is on alert, affecting 74 countries.

Present in Cancun Quintana Roo, warns: "The outbreaks are cyclical, and therefore future epidemics can be more lethal than the longer view. The next winter, the emergence of a new virus is possible, therefore it is important that authorities and population, extreme preventive measures.

Re: Growing atypical pneumonia cases in Puebla

That last article is damning with respect to severity of H1N1: In 2009 (thru 8/19) there have apparently been 682 maternal deaths due to P&I (although there might be an extra digit in that figure, as the article says that amounts to nine per month). In 2008, for the entire year, there were four.

Need to see the actual statement they report on but it could possibly be read as - officially 9 deaths during pregnancy per month were put down to P&I (or maybe flu specifically?) but that in total there had been 682 deaths - presumably leaving a lot unexplained.

comment:
I infer from that statement that there were 678 more maternal deaths alone in Puebla than the previous year...so would that number added to the current Mexico H1N1 stats yield a total more in line with current US stats? If so, I'm wondering if there's similar increases of ILI's and secondary bacterial infections in pregnant women in the other states...then we'd see that Mexico may actually already have more deaths than the USA. Are other countries reporting increases in maternal mortality year-on-year vs longterm averages? If so, are those stats being collated and added to official tallies?

[alert]

Re: Growing atypical pneumonia cases in Puebla

It is absolutely clear that Mexico cannot (and isn't really trying to) count all its H1N1 deaths. Even the US is counting "P&I syndrome" deaths, as opposed to H1N1 deaths. As far as the actual statement in Spanish, it reads:

Un comunicado publicado en internet por la Dirección de Epidemiología de la SS menciona el fallecimiento de nueve mujeres por mes a consecuencia de neumonía e influenza, y el escrito precisaba que al 19 de agosto de 2009 se habían registrado 682 defunciones maternas.

which I translate as:

A communication published over the internet by the Authority of Epidemiology of the SS mentions the deaths of nine women per month as a consequence of pneumonia and influenza, and a document written on August 19 indicates they have registered 682 maternal deaths.

To me, that means that the 682 is the total number of dead pregnant women (from all causes, including non-infectious ones), and of those, about nine per month are due to P&I. Six hundred maternal deaths over six months in an entire state is not that surprising (from all causes). The four deaths in 2008 are due to P&I. I would estimate that this represents no more than 50 unreported H1N1 fatalities in Puebla (9 per month times 6 months of pandemic minus the four background P&I deaths). We really should expect that, as there should be no reason the death rate in Mexico should differ significantly from that in the US. But 682 unreported H1N1 fatalities in one state is not to be expected at this point.

Which means that there has been 682 maternal deaths from this year up until august 19 from ALL causes. Alert you are correct on your assumptions.

* Keep away from people who have an acute respiratory infection.
* Wash hands often with soap and water.
* No self-medicate.
* Avoid going to crowded places.

Reports the Union of Social Security three deaths from influenza in Atlixco AH1N1

DOMINGUEZ MIGUEL ANGEL RIOS

Atlixco. Reyes Hernandez Rosas, section 1 Puebla general secretary of the National Union of Social Security Workers (SNTSS), said in Atlixco are recorded three deaths from influenza AH1N1 atypical. And one of them said at a news conference, is related to an employee of Social Security, specifically the washing plant installed on the auxiliary board of Metepec.

So far "we much strengthening measures and actions against influenza. The aim of constantly talking with the media is well discern this worrisome problem. Two weeks ago the issue came to terms for alarm, but today it dropped significantly.

The report is that "we had two weeks ago to 56 inpatients. Today the figure is 47. From first to last day of September 48 deaths occurred only atypical pneumonia in the hospital of St. Alexander. In this hospital arrive 2 thousand 800 workers and is visited by 20 thousand people. That the sixth floor is devoted exclusively to respiratory problems. In the emergency area created a flag for every patient also with respiratory complications, and thus prevent further contamination of others ".

This same "policy is applied in the clinic 34 of Atlixco and the sanatorium of Metepec. We hire extra time, especially doctors, to meet demand in centers such as Amalucan and Las Margaritas of such diseases. "

"In the case of the hospital in Metepec, how many cases of atypical influenza deaths are registered?

"Until last week we had three atypical pneumonia. One of them unfortunately were employed by the washing plant. Here's a fact: it is important to review the preventive measures and when you start feeling bad is almost obligatory to visit the doctor.

In the case mentioned, "the recommendation for that person was addressed promptly, but she refused. Even in San Alejandro was offered a disability for five days and refused to continue working with the argument that he needed money. That's the issue. He was finally admitted on Friday in hospital in Metepec, but the state of health deteriorated and was taken to San Alejandro where he died on Monday. "



The case of LFC



On the issue of dismantling the Union of Luz y Fuerza del Centro (LFC), ordered by President Felipe Calder?n, Reyes Hernandez said this was an issue "very difficult. In fact we were already giving it up three weeks ago and discovered an internal struggle between Alexander Munoz treasurer and secretary general. There were several things, like patterns and inflated pride came the two. As they did not negotiate, the federal government seized them. "

To go to adding that "a grant of more than 45 billion pesos annually. It's peak. In times of crisis good money to be applied where there no longer seems complicated background. Following this action of the Executive, we hope that it can happen only under law and that workers are paid liquidating plan accordingly as marked on the collective agreement.

We are "out of it. We come from a difficult process of revising the collective agreement. So the recommendation for unions is to maintain internal unity. It is important that the general secretary of any trade organization to give way to politics, not personal problems. That happened with Luz y Fuerza del Centro and there are consequences. "

- At some point they have no fear that the federal government sticking their hands in their union?

"Those are the risks of a struggle or an internal contest for power. When things are bad, illegally, there are not good omens. The best measure for unions is internal democracy, no reelection, transparency, legality and the law framework. Especially now that the government goes too fussy and badly can grab one of us. Such disunity of Alexander and Augustine Luz y Fuerza del Centro hurt more than 40 thousand workers.

Your translation is essentially the same as mine in the previous post. I had a total of six years of Spanish between high school and college. I haven't taken any formal French - all the French I can read comes from tracking disease (and from my high school and college Spanish!!!)

If there were 661 maternal deaths last year, then 682 this year is not much of an increase. At most 21 excess deaths, and that could just be year-to-year fluctuation.
