The City Health Department has recorded the first (two) suspect cases of Influenza A (H1N1) this year in Arax?. Two truck drivers, a Arax? and another in S?o Paulo, showed symptoms of the disease, were treated and analyzed tests of materials collected by the Funda??o Ezequiel Dias (Funed), in Belo Horizonte, were negative.
While the strategies are drawn to avoid an epidemiological concern, influenza is again showing its strength: two people have died this year at Mines by Influenza A and 48 are suspicious.
To date, five cases were confirmed and 173 are under investigation in the state. Brazil has already registered this year more than 165 suspected cases of swine flu. 121 other people were hospitalized with severe acute respiratory syndrome.
The Secretary Antonio Marcos Belo says that with the arrival of winter the trend is to increase the number of suspected cases. "From June we will have cases of avian influenza A and strong common throughout Brazil and in Tableland will be no different. The vaccination campaign will help in reducing cases, but certainly we will record either, "he says.
"It is better to clarify this case we are awaiting the report is considered suspect, there is no confirmed. But people must remain vigilant and avoid this situation. Valley we remember all those measures, such as keeping away from a person the flu, when coughing or sneezing put your arm around to protect, not go to work when you are suspected of having influenza, among others, "says the secretary.
Antonio Belo says people should be careful if any symptoms appear. "At first, the symptoms of influenza A is similar to the flu (fever, sore throat, muscle aches, and especially cough), but after the flu gets stronger. The important thing is to guide the community, traveled and arrived with a fever and a state of expectation of influenza, immediately see a health care facility. "
The secretary said the medical infrastructure in Tableland is better prepared than in 2009. "Even we in the new ICU of Santa Casa, which will be completed early next month, a room for isolation bed which will facilitate the attendance of more severe cases. We have a team already trained to perform the collection to identify cases of influenza A. We learned a lot from the wave of the virus last year and I'm sure this year we are more prepared. The expectation is that the wave is more lenient in 2010, but we are ready to face it and offer a quality service to people infected, "he says.
