      Other two children killed by the epidemic of influenza A
      CAPITAL FEDERAL, JUN 19 (APF.Digital) Current Date: 19/06/2009 10:04:43

      - A boy of 15 years who lived in the town of bonaerense tapiales in La Matanza, and a drink in the city yesterday were the new victims of the deadly epidemic that circulates in the metropolitan area ? Ministers of Health of Buenos Aires, Claudio Zin, and Buenos Aires, Jorge Lemus, said in a joint press conference that until now were killed 6 people who were reported as confirmed cases of influenza A.


      Reported case of this definition is important for the authorities of these districts, as it tries to determine if the cause of death was influenza A, or some disease that attacked in parallel and was exacerbated by influenza. Great concern for adolescent tapiales, since in principle there was a pre-existing disease. Barely 36 hours after presenting the first symptoms of flu deaths occurred.

      The Ministry of Health of the Nation, meanwhile, marked differences, and only confirmed five deaths and 28 new cases of influenza A, which takes account of 946 infections.

      More cases

      Zin and Lemus also acknowledged that there are more cases of influenza A that actually reported officially. "There must be an underreporting of 50 percent, so we have to talk twice as positive cases. This changes the rate of mortality," said Zin.

      However, from the certainty that the virus circulates in force in the metropolitan area will begin to decline in importance of counting cases, the ministers said, as it only will the analysis in patients at risk. Registration will be taken as belonging to cases of influenza, which now total 90,000 in the province of Buenos Aires. Only in those patients with additional complications that arise are sampled to find out if they have influenza A.


      The heads of the health portfolios explained that the Health Minister Graciela Ocana, promised to give 19 laboratories across the country to analyze the samples, which is of vital importance outside the metropolitan area where the remains of the containment phase epidemic.

      For now, the Institute Malbr?n carried out all investigations. And only yesterday it was determined that he was not ill from the influenza A Mexican citizen who had to be isolated for a week in El Calafate.

      The health system sobreexigencia local cases of influenza in all its versions, also encourage the opening of places to try the first consultation of the potential patients.

              Its the new math, everyone gets confused by it from time to time.

              Don't leave Argentina. Make it the great country it deserves to be but has always failed to achieve.

              One day Argentine will be a world leader. It is an incredible place of great and diverse beauty, substantial natural resources and most importantly a highly educated and sophisticated people.

              Your time will come Argentina. Place your faith in Democracy. It is the lack of freedom that has held you back.

                            Google translation:

                            Argentina is the country of South America with more deaths from H1N1

                            After 17 cases, organize medical students and retired doctors to treat those infected with Influenza A. The Brazilian government recommends no travel to Argentina to avoid illness.

                            Argentina holds the sad record another: the South American country with most killed by H1N1. In this situation, the Crisis Committee of influenza A, which is chaired by the Chief of Cabinet Sergio Massa, met Tuesday to discuss measures to the spread of the virus in the country. According to official figures, 1213 cases were recorded as positive and ten people died.

                            The province of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, especially near the federal capital, concentrated 70% of confirmed cases, and in both those districts where 10 deaths occurred, according to the party last night released by the Ministry of Health by Graciela Oca?a.

                            To meet the high demand for health services for respiratory diseases, health program trucks UNAM (National Mobile Units Located) attend and Constitution Plaza Miserere. The goal is to reach with public health services to sectors of the population more vulnerable.

                            More attention. Another measure that assesses the convening authority is learning in college the last years of the medical career and retired doctors to meet the increase of cases in recent weeks.

                            A press release from the Ministry of Health bonaerense by Claudio Zin explained that "discussions were initiated with the authorities of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata and the College of Physicians of the Province to give shape to this call." "It also opens a dialogue with other houses of higher learning, both public and private", says the communique.

                            The goal is for students and retired doctors to provide collaboration on guard hospitals and Primary Health Care Professionals that are able to monitor plant activities.

                            The measure was decided following the increasing demand arising from normal hospital winter seasonal influenza epidemics and acute respiratory infections Retirements (IRAB), including bronchiolitis, bronchitis and pneumonia, coupled with further consultations by the influenza A H1N1.


                            ORDER OF BRAZIL. The Brazilian government has now recommended that children, elderly people with low immunity and prevent or postpone trips to Argentina due to the advance of influenza A in this country, and began checking passengers arriving from Buenos Aires as a preventive measure.

                            Meanwhile, the large number of patients with symptoms of influenza A/H1N1 further aggravated the situation here in the care of hospitals, to the point where the health centers in Buenos Aires began to postpone certain surgeries that were scheduled because of lack of beds.

                            Professionals in sanatoriums of the Federal Capital began to focus more on treating patients infected by the virus, which travels extensively in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires.

                            It is "an additional measure of prevention," the official said in a press release, which noted that "in Brazil there is no sustained transmission, but all indigenous cases are linked to infections contracted outside the country."

                            "As a recommendation, it can spread to other countries with similar pictures to those of Chile and Argentina," added the official text.

                            In this sense, Brazilian authorities took a series of immigration measures after discovering that recent infections occurred in people who had been in Argentina.

                            Upon returning to Brazil from Buenos Aires or any other city national, passengers must complete a Declaration of Health Viajante, provide their phone numbers and if you have symptoms of the disease are isolated immediately


                            TRISTE RECORD.La extension of the influenza virus A by the world increases, and according to the latest data from the World Health Organization, published today, there are already 55,867 confirmed cases, of which 238 people died.

                            This implies that for the past two days since the last count, there have been 3707 new cases and 7 deaths in Argentina.

                            The largest number of cases in the United States continues, with 21,449 infected, including 87 deaths, a figure which, however, has remained intact for two days.

                            Mexico instead, where there are 7847 confirmed cases has increased from 223 infections in the latest WHO report, with two new deaths, bringing the death toll to 115.

                              Ensure that the number of infected is "clearly superior" to official figures

                              The president of the Infectious Diseases Society of Argentina, Pablo Bonveh?, said today that the number of infected influenza virus A is "clearly superior" to the reports and explained that "can always occur cases of death" being a pandemic.

                              In this way, Bonveh? referred to the 17 deaths in just eight days which caused the so-called swine flu in the country, which was assessed as "severe" by health experts.


                              Bonveh?, who is also advisor to the Emergency Committee for Influenza A (H1N1), indicated that the number of deaths from the virus continues within estimates, although it surprised on the total number of confirmed cases.

                              "The mortality rate should be calculated on the total cases, which is much higher than reported officially," he explained in a conversation with Bonveh? radio 10.

                              The doctor stated that "an influenza pandemic is an expected, most people have no defense to this new virus can always occur and deaths."

                              "There is certainly more than the figure (official), death is something that concerns us all, but it is a real data," said the specialist.

                              Regarding the collapse of the health system, said that "there is a very important demand of outpatient consultations and many beds."

                              "It's a situation that is very difficult to be completely prepared for a situation like this. It is very complicated, there is a sobredemanda that every health organization will implement measures to manage it as best we can ", analyzed Bonveh?.


                              The Ministry of Health reported yesterday that the new influenza A resulted in seven deaths in the country reached 17 deaths.
                              The health authorities also said that 81 new cases were positive for the virus, while in the province of Buenos Aires reported that 111 persons are being held by the disease, 75 of them connected to the artificial respirator.

                              Due to the increase in deaths and infections, the government of Brazil is not recommended for people traveling to Argentina and Chile, the two South American countries with more cases of the disease.

                              In the province of Buenos Aires killed 13 of the 17 fatalities caused by the virus (the remaining four are in the federal capital), while others are placed 111 ranches.
