First localflu death reported

Dr. Robert Levin, Ventura County Public Health officer, announced recently that Ventura County?s first flu-related death has occurred. A resident under 65 died after having been hospitalized with complications related to the H1N1 virus. The victim had other underlying conditions which may have put him at risk for severe H1N1 illness.

?Flu, including the H1N1 strain, is on the rise throughout the state and, over the past week, influenza-related deaths have increased by 50 in California,? Levin said.

So far this season, the California Department of Public Health has confirmed 95 flurelated deaths statewide.

Flu-related deaths spike in San Bernardino County

The number of flu-related deaths in San Bernardino County has spiked suddenly to 16, a 700 percent increase since Jan. 10, when there were two.

The deaths are scattered around the county with no specific regional trend, county public health officials said in a statement Friday.

In Los Angeles County, there have been 33 flu-related deaths this season.

?In recent weeks Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is averaging four pregnant patients per day requiring admissions due to the flu and the pediatric unit has had a number of newborns with the flu virus,? said Frank Garcia, spokesman for the Pomona hospital...

Two Week
Pomona Valley Hospital Admission Count
Mothers-To-Be

56​

If we examine the numbers that Mr. Garcia of Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center has produced ("4 per day") and multiply for only the past two weeks ("recent weeks"), we arrive at the astounding Hospital Admission Count for Influenza infection of 56 Pregnant young women . . . at one hospital.

Now that is one clinical unit with exceptional experience managing severe influenza in gravid cases. Careful, anonymised case notes from their wards could drive practice methods in parts of the country that may have yet to receive the spiking genetics.

We would like to see comparatives on pregnant admissions during the various California spikes in 2009 and 2010.

Who imagines when they first hear their baby's heartbeat that an unnecessary infection from a known pathogen could force them into a medically induced coma and a pre-term surgical delivery. We can't think that any mother wants to bring her child into the world like that.

But in Pomona, not unlike many other US neighborhoods, 56 Mothers-To-Be ran that risk in just the past two weeks, without the necessary information to properly guide their decision-making.

South Bay mother, unborn child die of flu

Los Angeles County public health officials confirmed Thursday that influenza A (H1N1) was associated with the death that occurred in an area hospital.

No information has been disclosed about where the woman lived, how far along she was in her pregnancy, whether she?d had a flu shot or what hospital she had been in when she died. County public health officials said it also is unknown whether there were contributing complications.
