Dansker er d?d af H1N1

Mand med kronisk sygdom er d?d af svineinfluenza p? Hvidovre Hospital.

Manden var i forvejen alvorligt syg med en kronisk sygdom, oplyser Sundhedsstyrelsen.

D?dsfaldet indtraf i onsdags p? intensivafdelingen p? Hvidovre Hospital.

Som alvorligt kronisk syg var den p?g?ldende i risikogruppen for influenza A.

Sj?ldne d?dsfald
Over 100.000 danskere formodes netop nu at v?re syge med influenza A, og siden epidemien begyndte for et par uger siden, har sk?nsvis 200.000 haft sygdommen.

Imidlertid har vi hidtil v?ret forsk?net for mange alvorlige tilf?lde, og d?dsfald har v?ret uhyre sj?ldne.

Sidst i august m?ned indtraf det f?rste d?dsfald blandt danskere. En midaldrende nordjysk mand d?de under en arbejdsrejse i Norge af en lungebet?ndelse for?rsaget af H1N1.

I andre lande er der indtruffet langt flere d?dsfald.

I Storbritannien, som er us?dvanligt h?rdt ramt, er der til dato d?de 214 af influenza.

Globalt er antallet af d?dsofre for pandemien med influenza A (H1N1) nu oppe p? omkring 7.000, heraf knap 640 i Europa.

However, we have so far been spared many severe cases and deaths have been extremely rare.
