La declaraci?n de alerta de un posible caso mortal de gripe porcina conmovi? a la comunidad juje?a.

En las farmacias cercanas al nosocomio se agotaron los barbijos.

Personas que ingresaban al hospital y otras que andaban en los alrededores, hac?an comentarios sobre la presencia de la gripe porcina. Algunos manifestaban su temor para ingresar al nosocomio, pero "tenemos que entrar igual, tenemos parientes en las salas de internaci?n, as? que hay que entrar con barbijos, pero esperemos que no pase nada malo".

Emilio C., el joven fallecido, viv?a en el barrio Cuyaya junto a su esposa y su hija de un a?o y medio. Estuvo hace una semana en Buenos Aires y Mendoza, cumpliendo su labor como chofer de una empresa de transporte de pasajeros de larga distancia, "Balut".

El paciente ingres? a la guardia del Hospital "Pablo Soria" el d?a viernes y falleci? al mediod?a de ayer.

Ya se enviaron muestras para an?lisis al Malbr?n y los resultados llegar?an dentro de siete o diez d?as.

La familia del joven fallecido est? bajo vigilancia epidemiol?gica del Ministerio de Salud juje?o, igual que sus compa?eros de trabajo y todos los contactos m?s cercanos. En tanto, directivos de la empresa orden? a los choferes que viajaron junto a Emilio someterse a todos los an?lisis pertinentes, al igual que personal que haya mantenido contacto con ?l.

La gente que estuvo con el paciente fallecido se les est? suministrando el antiviral Tamiflu. Hasta tanto, llegue los resultados de las secreciones enviadas al Malbr?n, todos los familiares, personal m?dico, enfermeras y administrativo, tienen que usar barbijos.

Cabe recordar que el ministro de salud de Jujuy, V?ctor Urbani afirm? que "no se puede afirmar la existencia de un caso mortal de gripe A H1N1, sino que se investiga un caso sospechoso"

"Explic? que ante la posibilidad de la existencia de un caso positivo de gripe A, hay que tomar precauciones para evitar contagios" y recomend? a la comunidad: lavarse las manos, usar barbijos y consultar al medico ante s?ntomas de gripe fuerte. El funcionario pidi? no perder la tranquilidad a la poblaci?n.

Seg?n versiones que circulaban en los pasillos, la v?ctima sufr?a de s?ntomas de un fuerte resfr?o, ten?a dolor de cabeza, fiebre e hinchaz?n en el cuerpo y las dolencias no ced?an, por eso, el pasado viernes, recurri? a la guardia del hospital, para que lo atendieran.

Re: Argentina: First local H1N1 dead?

While this certainly could be an H1N1 death, H1N1 doesn't quite seem widepspread enough in Argentina yet to have a death with no link to a confirmed case.

We will await the lab results, but my hunch is that this one will be negative.

Re: Argentina: First local H1N1 dead?

This is a Xinhua source, so it is not firsthand and might not totally accurate, but if the bold statement is true, H1N1 is extremely unlikely. The man would have been ill for less than two days, and most of the H1N1 deaths were ill for over a week. But the red statement would be telling...

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-06/01/content_11466761.htm

BUENOS AIRES, May 31 (Xinhua) -- The Argentine Health Ministry on Sunday reported 15 new cases of the A/H1N1 flu, raising the total number of infections in the country to 115.

Most of the new cases are students, Deputy Health Minister Carlos Soratti told reporters.

As about 400 samples taken from students nationwide were still being tested, more cases are likely to be found in the coming days, he said.

He also said samples taken from a 29-year-old man who died of an acute respiratory illness Saturday in the northern province of Jujuy were being examined to see if there were any links between his death and the A/H1N1 flu.

Also on Sunday, Antonio Risso Patron, who runs the Pablo Soria Public Hospital in Jujuy's provincial capital, said the man developed symptoms of the flu Friday.
The man was a bus driver in Mendoza, 1,200 km from the country's capital, where he had contact with a group of Chilean tourists as passengers. One of these Chileans was suffering the flu, Risso said.
If testing confirmed links between his death and the A/H1N1 flu, it would be the first death case caused by the epidemic in Argentina.

I don't know if I trust this source, but this one claims the death is not due to flu.

El funcionario, que se encuentra en Buenos Aires, inform? que los restantes estudios realizados en Pergamino arrojaron como resultado que el hombre de 29 a?os hab?a fallecido por la enfermedad del Hantavirus.

El hombre hab?a realizado viajes a Mendoza y Buenos Aires.
