22-?rig mand d?de ikke af svineinfluenza

22-?rig dansker er ikke d?d af H1N1 - svineinfluenza. Sundhedsstyrelsen er nu ude af sagen p? nationalt plan.

En 22-?rig mand fra Esbjerg blev ikke det f?rste offer p? dansk grund for H1N1-influenzaen, ogs? kaldet svineinfluenza.

Den unge mand d?de i sidste uge, og myndighederne har fulgt sagen t?t. Manden er derfor blevet obduceret, og der er gennemf?rt en lang r?kke analyser, men han havde ikke H1N1, lyder det nu.

Sundhedsstyrelsens kommunikationschef, Susse Marie Holst, siger, at myndighederne nu er ude af sagen.

- Han havde ikke influenzaen, s? nu er styrelsen ude af det p? nationalt plan, siger hun.

Den unge mand s?gte angiveligt l?ge i sidste uge med influenzalignende symptomer. Fredag blev han fundet d?d, hvorefter embedsl?geinstitutionen blev involveret, skriver www.ekstrabladet.dk.

Embedsl?gen er stadig involveret i sagen lokalt. Sundhedsstyrelsen f?lger dog ikke l?ngere sagen centralt efter visheden om, at der ikke er tale om svineinfluenza, forklarer Susse Marie Holst.

I slutningen af august kr?vede svineinfluenzaen det f?rste danske offer, da en midaldrende mandlig lastbilchauff?r d?de under en tur til Norge. B?de han og kollegaen havde v?ret syge i flere dage, og det viste sig alts? at v?re H1N1, der endte med at koste den ene livet.

If?lge Verdenssundhedsorganisationen WHO har svineinfluenzaen indtil nu kostet 5700 mennesker livet p? verdensplan siden april. I l?bet af bare en uge steg tallet med 700.


22-year-old man died not of swine influenza

22-year-old Dane has not died of H1N1 - the swine flu. Board of Health is now out of action at the national level.


A 22-year-old man from Esbjerg was not the first victim on Danish soil for H1N1 influenza, also known as swine flu.

The young man died last week and authorities have been following the case closely. The man has therefore been necropsied, and conducted numerous tests, but he had not H1N1, it sounds now.

Board of Health's communications director, Susse Marie Holst, says that authorities now are out of the case.

- He had flu, so now is the Board out of it at the national level, she says.

The young man allegedly tried doctor last week with flu-like symptoms. Friday he was found dead, after which Embedsl?geinstitutionen were involved, writes www.ekstrabladet.dk.

The official veterinarian is still involved in the case locally. Board of Health consequences, however, no longer the case after the central conviction that there is no question of swine influenza, explains Susse Marie Holst.

In late August called swine flu the first Danish victim as a middle-aged male truck driver died during a trip to Norway. Both he and his colleague had been ill for several days, and it appeared then to be H1N1, which ended up costing one life.

According to World Health Organization swine flu has so far claimed 5700 lives worldwide since April. During just one week this figure rose to 700th.
