Virus scare in Argentina Brazil
BRAS?LIA
The number of cases of swine influenza in Brazil has led the Ministry of Health to adopt two measures. Concerned about the mortality rates of the disease above normal in Argentina, the government sent to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) a request for information on the epidemic in the neighboring country. Moreover, the government will recommend that patients with more severe flu - even those who did not come from abroad - will be tested for detection of H1N1.
The mortality rates of influenza in swine in Argentina are currently 1.64% - a rate well above the world, which is 0.4%. The percentage worries because, mainly, of proximity and the large traffic between the two countries. Argentina is the principal place of imported cases of probable infection of swine flu. Of the 680 confirmed patients, 235 had recently visited that country. Then, the U.S., with 81 cases, and Chile, with 33.
The director of the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance Ministry of Health, Eduardo Hage says that the high death rates may have three causes. A collapse in the hospital in this country, many still fail to detect cases or, most worrying, the mutation of the virus.
"Only the third point could bring some influence to Brazil," said Hage. "But nothing, no evidence showing that there has the virus mutates." With the request for information to Opas, Brazil wants to make sure that risk is discarded.
The Health Ministry confirmed 55 more cases of flu, 45 of them in Rio Grande do Sul. The other cases are of Piau? (3), Santa Catarina (3), Alagoas (1), Distrito Federal (1), Paran? (1) and Sergipe (1). The total is 680.
The Hospital of Porto Alegre has announced it will take patients with suspected influenza in two tents provided by Air from today, 24 hours a day. In Minas Gerais, where 90 cases were confirmed, three schools suspended classes, affecting more than 3 thousand students.
In Brasilia, the first case was diagnosed in Congress. An official of the Presidency of the Board, who works in a room next to the president, Michel Temer (PMDB-SP), is the medical license and should only return to work next week. She was in Argentina.
The overcrowding in at least two public hospitals of reference for the care of the swine flu did the State Department of Health of S?o Paulo invite yesterday units of private capital to meet patients who have health plans.
However, although the folder has arrived to announce the immediate participation of eleven hospitals, until early this evening the units still defining how and when will the participation - and one withdrew. Wanted by the report, five confirmed their attendance immediately. The advice of the hospital CEMA press, in the east, said the unit will not participate because they already have a high demand and could contribute to the spread of influenza is deploy the service.
Questioned, the secretary informed the night that only the Albert Einstein hospital, Syrian-Lebanese, Samaritan, and Sao Luiz Oswaldo Cruz signed a commitment to perform the service. But only Syrian-Lebanese, Einstein, July 9, S?o Luiz Samaritan and the report confirmed the immediate care of cases. The Syrian-Lebanese hospitals and pointed out that Einstein had already given patients.
"We will meet in the emergency room and the best way possible," said Ruy Bevillacqua, corporate medical director of the S?o Luiz.
