Third or fourth death from influenza A?

Authorities confirmed and then are denied to them
Writes: HUGO SUPO stipulates | Company - 06:00 h

- They display of irresponsibility in handling numbers of deaths in DIRESA Puno. - 10 new suspects were identified and are serving in different hospital.

Health sector authorities can not agree about the statistics released to the media on the issue of influenza AH1N1. At the beginning of week, Redess Azangaro confirmed the death of a child of eleven months for this evil, but the Regional Health Authority (DIRESA) does not stop to recognize that death as an officer, noting that the death was from another cause while the baby if it was infected by influenza A.

"At the request of the First Joint Provincial Prosecutor of the province of Azangaro has practiced law in the autopsy of a child eleven months old who died on 23-07-09 with the diagnosis of" cerebral edema ", determined as the underlying cause of death as "pneumonia, influenza virus AH1N1" and final cause as "cerebral edema" is no reason to consider the registration of notification of influenza AH1N1 of Puno DIRESA because the final cause of death "justifies the DIRESA.

Adding that death, there were three deaths (two adult women initially) in the region, but for DIRESA the third death occurred recently with the death of a man 39 years in the REDESS San Rom?n (21-07-2009 ).

According to the official statement, this person came from Huancan? and died with the diagnosis of sepsis and bronchopneumonia. According to the report Redess San Rom?n, the person in question days before he went to the American Clinic Juliaca on the date of 18-07-09 and 19-07-09 was transferred to the Hospital "Carlos Monge Medrano, where the sample was taken and referred to the Instituto Nacional de Salud - INS on 19-07-09.

"While the doctors of that hospital he came to administer the appropriate treatment, the INS notified the DIRESA positive Puno as the 01-08-09", specifies the document.

What is worrisome is that according to unofficial sources, the health sector would be hiding a lot more deaths from the case of influenza AH1N1, having the aim of not to alarm the public, but at the same time committing irresponsible to be elucidated in a process research.

BACKGROUND

As background figures concealment by the government, it should be noted that last July, the Peruvian Medical Association (MPA) reported that the figure of 2 thousand 390 cases infected with the flu AH1N1 then was not real, as mentioned the president of that entity, Herbert Cuba.

At that time, Cuba said that the country must exist some 40 thousand cases of influenza and said the only way to justify the measures ahead of holiday parades and suspension handed down by the Executive.

The doctor believed that early prevention strategies have not yielded the results as only appropriate focus on risk sectors such as children under five years, those over 60 years, those with chronic illnesses and pregnant women.
