THREE LOCAL CASES UNDER THE LENS
Recognize "high suspicion" of deaths from influenza A
Erill the hospital director, Carlos Ramos, admitted that there are "high suspicion" of three fatal cases of influenza A in the district, said that although none has yet been confirmed by the Institute Malbr?n. It would, as noted, young women who recently died in the hospital because of an illness with symptoms similar to influenza AH1N1.
"In the hospital, three women have died, between 22 and 32 years, during the last two weeks, and we have high suspicions that may have been due to influenza A. But I can not say until we have tests to confirm or discard, "the doctor told The Day of Escobar.
However, officials urged people not to keep calm, and in that respect, he stressed that "many patients have had influenza A in those days, but suffered in the most benign form, as a common flu. This must be said, to bring some calm to the people, "he said.
The effect of the pandemic is also affecting the hospital staff, whose rate of absenteeism due to respiratory diseases already exceeds 25% and is projected it could reach 40%. In this case, the high level of exposure that are under the treatment with patients would be the cause of their illness.
Consultations for respiratory diseases in the hospital have tripled compared to other winters. It is currently serving a minimum of eighty people a day, but sometimes have been more than two hundred. Given this, the Municipal Secretariat of Health established its mobile health centers versus Erill to uncompress the growing hospital demand. It is also expected placement of a tent put up in front of the guard for the care of patients with viral diseases, so as to prevent its movement through the corridors of the establishment.
- Do you consider that the measures being implemented now should have been taken earlier?, Asked Ramos to this medium.
- In medicine it is very easy to make retrospective diagnoses. He was a wise decision to cut the classes because it removes the requirement to go to where you are forced to go. But I do not think it right that the government has to say whether or not to go to the movies. Should the authorities tell us that we do not go to the movies to be aware and not go? I think the Argentines are very dependent on what we tell mom or dad and not make decisions for themselves. Some people just today, with measures being taken, is aware that the situation may be serious, and when it should be noted that when WHO was established pandemic.
- Should I spend the winter?
- The winter will not solve the problem of health, disease is going to change the other. When you going to spend the winter flu and we will return to the problem of dengue, which came to Argentina to stay and be aware that everyone has to work hard to eradicate. This will improve to the extent that Argentines start to care, but we can not expect immediate results.
