        Studying four possible deaths from influenza A in Tucum?n
        These two children and two adults died in recent days with symptoms of influenza, although still awaiting a confirmation from the Institute Malbr?n.


        A flu epidemic is progressing in Tucuman, with a permanent increase in the number of potential infections and four deaths, two children and two adults who had symptoms of the disease.
        The latter was confirmed last night by THE CENTURY owner Epidemiology SIPROSA, Rogelio Cali, who said that "still awaiting the Institute Malbr?n send the results of analytical tests for these four patients, who died in the last two weeks to confirm whether or not influenza A ".
        In addition, the officer reported that "there are approximately 60 patients at various hospitals and private clinics in the province with symptoms of influenza A, of which 12 are in critical condition and are assisted with artificial respirators.

        Study confirmed and

        The official clarified that by now 32 of the virus H1N1 (four more than the 28 that had reported on Friday Minister Paul Yedlin) that were confirmed by the Malbr?n, while there are another 70 suspected cases are being tested in the laboratory of the Federal Capital.
        In addition, Cali explained that "the Respiratory Virus Unit Sentinel, which work in coordination, the Ministry of Health and the National University of Tucum?n, confirmed that there are approximately another 80 cases of influenza, although without specifying the type of virus."
        The epidemiology expert explained that "these figures are very figurative, because no samples were taken from all patients with symptoms of the virus to be sent to the laboratory, but which are considered as factors of increased risk, so the number of infections could be much higher. "

        "To underestimate the flu"

        The professional view that "due to the significant progress of the virus, which is everywhere, it should be much more extreme preventive measures by the population is to underestimate this disease and its people continue pace of life almost as usual especially young people who are still going to bowling alleys, cinemas and shopping malls, even if the treasury group at highest risk, "he warned. On the same subject, emphasized the need to "implement a social distancing, avoiding spaces in urban areas because there are increasing chances of infection, and making a voluntary isolation from the people having flu-like tables."
        Cali said that "in Tucum?n yet reached a peak of the epidemic, which is what we are waiting, because there is a constant increase in respect to consultations and the possible emergence of contagions. The spread of influenza virus is widespread in the province, is everywhere and people should take the necessary precautionary measures, "he insisted.

        94 killed in the country

        Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health of the Nation reported yesterday that the deaths from influenza A in the country are 94, 12 more than reported on July 9, with the former party official, while it increased the number of confirmed cases in 2928, against 2677 reported 48 hours earlier (see details in computer graphics).
        It is appropriate to clarify that the number of fatalities would be higher than the officially confirmed, considering that the nation did not take into account, in part yesterday, the three deaths confirmed influenza A in the last two weeks by health authorities in Cordova . Nor was officially informed of the deaths reported by the ministries of Health, Santa Cruz and Neuqu?n Formosa (fatal in one case each). In addition, authorities in Buenos Aires admitted that there are 99 deaths in study (24 in and 75 in Buenos Aires Province), which would have occurred in recent weeks as a result of the virus.

        An?bal Fern?ndez and Juan Manzur met to discuss the situation

        Cabinet Chief's Office, Anibal Fernandez, met yesterday with Health Minister, Juan Manzur, to analyze in depth the status box on the national epidemic of influenza A.
        After the meeting, Fernandez said that "the first thing that interested me was to contact the minister Manzur, and as I was in my office and he in hers, grabbed the car and I came to see him."
        Asked about the conversation at the meeting, the Chief of Staff indicated that it reviewed the progress of the epidemic into the country and the need to be prepared for all actions that we believe must be preventive measures in the case. We have reconciled all positions, and I leave very happy. "
        For its part, the head of the national health stressed the need for "the society must not relax in the prevention, because it is a new virus in the whole world does not even know how to change their behavior."
        After admitting that in the metropolitan area "down the consultations and greater availability of beds is critical," Manzur stressed that "the health sector must remain vigilant to face any scenario evolving from the lack of scientific information that allows us to anticipate the development of influenza A H1N1 virus.

                            There are five confirmed deaths from influenza A in Tucum?n
                            This was announced today by Health Minister Paul Yedlin, who said that 32 other suspects in fatal cases in the study Malbr?n Institute of Buenos Aires. The official said that the epidemic curve is still declining and that fewer than 100 patients with influenza A.


                            The number of confirmed deaths from influenza A in Tucum?n Since the pandemic peaked in the last five hours, while 32 other deaths in study patients who had symptoms of the disease, announced today the Minister of Health Paul Yedlin. Until now, the only fatality confirmed by laboratory testing and notified by the authorities was that of a young woman, who died last June at a private hospital after giving birth to a baby.

                            "They have found the results of the Institute Malbr?n of Buenos Aires and the 37 deaths were suspicious and we confirmed in five studies, while the rest have not been confirmed," the official said.

                            In addition, the head of the Health reported that 95 people are housed in various government hospitals and private clinics in the province with symptoms of influenza A, which, as seen, "indicate a continuing decline in the number of hospitalizations and consultations . ameseta We are seeing the epidemic curve, "he said.

                            On the other hand, admitted that the Yedlin Tamiflu (oseltamivir), a medicine supplied to patients with symptoms of influenza A, generate unwanted side effects. "Every medication has side effects from the antibiotic softer until this antiviral. We note, on time with oseltamivir, the presence of vomiting, diarrhea and oral intolerance among some patients, forcing the change of medication with another drug called zanamivir, which is supplied by aspiration, "he explained.

                            On the same theme, he explained that "when a delivery is massive, with over 12 thousand treatments in a month and a half of an epidemic, inevitably there are some signs of intolerance to the drug, with diarrhea and stomach pain, but no case was severe . Anyway if you have to compare benefits and side effects, the balance is tilted towards the latter group, because with oseltamivir could hinder the epidemic curve, "he said.

                            Finally, he encouraged people to take the medication, if prescribed by doctors, despite recommendations that suggest otherwise. "This drug has been used for 10 years in the United States without major complications for the treatment of common flu, and while in Argentina it was not providing massive now, there is a new drug and has absolute reliability and certainty, and it was very important part in combating the epidemic in our country, "he explained.
