Re: A child died of swine flu in Sweden
A second wave of flu started a seven-year boy has died of swine flu.
The boy from Helsingborg belonged to risk groups and died on New Year's Eve.
Infectious Disease Doctors are now warning that a second wave of swine flu is on its way.
On New Year's Eve died in the seven-year old boy from complications of flu. According to Per Hagstam, assistant county medical at the Infectious Diseases Sk?ne belonged to the boy one of the divisions and was previously suffering from serious diseases.
- Just what the boy suffered from, I can not go into, but these are different forms of chronic disease which impairs the immune system, says Per Hagstam to Aftonbladet.
Five of the seven-year old boy critical care was one of five people in the country before the New Year was in ICU for emergency treatment after being hit by the flu. Only in southern Sweden was reported that three people were admitted to the intensive care unit.
- One of the other two have left and are improved, the third person was still on intenssiv?rdsavdelning, "Per Hagstam.
Second wave began in Sweden have now noticed an increase in the number of cases found and a second wave of flu has been initiated.
- This is so expected that it would come back in a second wave, it is known since previous pandemics. Possibly even a third and fourth which is a bit milder.
65 cases reported, according to statistics for Disease Control (SMI) has a total of 65 people ill with the flu. The statistics presented in the SMI's flu report by 26 December.
- It will certainly not be the case that an equal number suffer this year as last year because so many vaccine itself. But those whom it invites to be vaccinated are those who are over 65 and younger who belong to a risk group, "says Anders Wallsten, doctors at the Infectious Diseases Institute.
During week 52, fell ill 23 people and of the 65 persons so far been hit in the second wave was 46 not vaccinated against the influenza pandemic, according to SMI.
The persons be immunized last year will be able to count on adequate protection this year, but belong to any of the risk groups so invited you to be vaccinated with the seasonal vaccine.
