influenza4julioLos last week tallies made by the Ministry of Health in relation to the numbers of people affected by the human influenza in children under five years, forcing the agency to take further action to address this situation.
The average infected with virus A (H1N1) in children under five years had been below those of children infected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), but the last few weeks the new disease has been a steady increase, which urged to take new measures to combat it.
The experts who made up the team, especially for the management and control of human influenza, Enrique Paris, explained that the VRS terra.cl affected 70% of children under five years who were sick, but a week ago the presence of the virus A (H1N1) has increased.
"The virus usually collide with each other and moving with each other, while moving the syncytial, we have noticed an increase in diagnosis A (H1N1) in children under five years, that will require us to change a little treat," said professional.
Will now use the drug Oseltamivir for children from three years, which is also known as Tamiflu, and that in this case, must be supplied in syrup.
While it is expected that next week will record the peak of infection with human influenza at the national level, the increase of cases in children does not amount to more infections in other age groups.
Paris said that Enrique Lagos, where they began the infections, "will give us the pattern of what happens in a few days." The positive aspect of this is that contagion is a behavior of "bell", and it is expected that in the coming weeks starting the curve downward.
