Swine Flu Death Toll in Argentina Climbs


Published: July 3, 2009

RIO DE JANEIRO ? The death toll from swine flu in Argentina continued to rise as President Cristina Fern?ndez de Kirchner said she would not rule out closing major public venues where the virus could spread more quickly.

Dr. Juan Manzur, the new health minister, said Friday that 44 people had died from swine flu and that the country had 2,800 confirmed flu cases. The numbers reflected a sharp increase compared with a week earlier, when there were 26 deaths and 1,587 cases.

Swine flu has killed more people in Argentina than in any other country in South America, where the winter flu season is just beginning. The death rate of 1.6 percent is more than three times the world average, Claudio Zin, the health minister of Buenos Aires Province, said Friday.

Argentina passed Canada this week as the country with the third-highest death toll from the flu, but it remains behind Mexico and the United States. Dr. Manzur said that officials now suspect that there are 100,000 cases of swine flu in the country, compared with 320,000 cases of other types of flu.

The government has been slow in confirming cases, doctors said, because it only has one state laboratory doing the testing.

Mrs. Kirchner tried Friday to calm an anxious public but did not discount the possibility that officials would close movie theaters, discos and other public places to try to contain the flu?s spread.

?We cannot rule out anything,? she said. ?Measures will be taken as they are deemed necessary.?

Argentina was ill-prepared for the global swine flu pandemic, and some private health officials have said that Mrs. Kirchner?s government should have declared a state of emergency before national congressional elections last Sunday.

That would probably have entailed delaying the elections, which Mrs. Kirchner had moved up by four months in a bid to increase the chances that her husband, former President N?stor Kirchner, could prevail in his race for Congress. He failed to come in first, hurting the couple?s chances that one of them could win the presidency in 2011.

Several doctors, including some who were advising the health ministry, have said that Graciela Oca?a, the former health minister, had recommended calling a national state of emergency and delaying the elections, but was overruled. Ms. Oca?a resigned Monday and has yet to discuss the issue publicly.

Some private doctors said declaring a national state of emergency would allow the health authorities to put together a coordinated plan to contain the spread of swine flu as Mexico did.

Mrs. Kirchner has resisted making a national declaration, but the city and province of Buenos Aires have declared health emergencies to give officials greater access to funds and free rein to close schools and other public places.

Even as some officials are closing schools and extending winter vacations to keep young people isolated and indoors, huge public gatherings continue to be held.

In Buenos Aires, people waited in long lines on Friday to purchase 3,500 available tickets for a championship soccer match on Sunday. The match is scheduled to be played in a packed 48,000-seat stadium.

Several media outlets reported that two more people died Friday, identified only as young adults in the city of Rosario, increasing the unofficial total to 46. Dr. Manzur said more deaths than the 44 confirmed were being studied to see if they were caused by swine flu.

The outbreak is expected to cost the economy up to $2.9 billion this year, deepening an economic contraction to 3 percent from 2.2 percent, according to estimates by economists at HSBC bank in Buenos Aires.

Thus, media has the number of deaths up to 85 and counting (because of confirmation backlogs).

Re: Argentina: Confirmed cases of A/H1N1 - 100,000 - 88 deaths

Re: Argentina: Confirmed cases of A/H1N1 - 100,000 - 88 deaths

Several times now Minster of Health and other health authorities mentioned the number of 100,000 + cases of novel H1N1 in Argentina.
It feels "safe" now to mention it in the title of this thread. Not lab confirmed cases - seems impossible to handle - but confirmed more than once by Min of Health.

My feeling is : 100,000 cases is an under estimation of the real number. Same with the number of deaths.
