More cases

Zin and Lemus also acknowledged that there are more cases of influenza A that actually reported officially. "There must be an underreporting of 50 percent, so we have to talk twice as positive cases. This changes the rate of mortality," said Zin.

However, from the certainty that the virus circulates in force in the metropolitan area will begin to decline in importance of counting cases, the ministers said, as it only will the analysis in patients at risk. Registration will be taken as belonging to cases of influenza, which now total 90,000 in the province of Buenos Aires. Only in those patients with additional complications that arise are sampled to find out if they have influenza A.

The heads of the health portfolios explained that the Health Minister Graciela Ocana, promised to give 19 laboratories across the country to analyze the samples, which is of vital importance outside the metropolitan area where the remains of the containment phase epidemic.

Don't leave Argentina. Make it the great country it deserves to be but has always failed to achieve.

One day Argentine will be a world leader. It is an incredible place of great and diverse beauty, substantial natural resources and most importantly a highly educated and sophisticated people.
