Most killed by the swine flu was young

Folha de S. Paulo

Lifting the profile of the dead by influenza A (H1N1) in the country shows that 65% of them were between 20 and 44 years and at least 39% had no risk factor identified by doctors.

Data were collected from the departments of state and municipal health and take into account even before the 56 deaths: 36 victims were 20 to 44 years and 22 had no risk factor - were yesterday confirmed two more deaths in Rio Grande do Sul and three in S?o Paulo, which took the new cases recorded in Campinas (93 km from Sao Paulo), S?o Caetano do Sul (ABC) and Ribeir?o Preto (313 km from Sao Paulo).

The concentration of deaths among young adults is a feature of this new form of influenza virus, identified in other countries and differs from the age group most vulnerable to death by the seasonal flu - which are usually of secondary complications.

TABNET data from the system (the mayor of Sao Paulo providing mortality figures) show that 78% of deaths by influenza and common diseases associated with it in the city in 2008, had more than 65 years. So far, only 2% of the deaths of swine flu occurred in the band.

The reason is still unknown of the experts, there are few studies about it. The analysis of 56 cases is possible, says epidemiologist Peter Taiul (UnB), but we can not say that the behavior of the virus follow the same. It is possible, however, identify similar behavior in other countries. In Chile, Argentina, Canada and the U.S., deaths are concentrated in young adults and an age greater than that of severe cases, which in turn was higher than the case itself.

Repeating the example in the international age was expected, according to Nancy Bellei, teacher and responsible for the sector of the influenza Unifesp because, until now, no change in the virus. As the existence of a significant percentage of deaths among people without risk factors, unlike what occurs in the seasonal flu.

The international example shows that between 30% and 50% of deaths occurred in patients without identified risk factor. The percentage of patients without risk factor recorded so far may be higher because there is no information of seven paulistas.
