A woman six months pregnant was the third confirmed death in Cear? for swine flu. The fetus did not survive. The patient was 24 and was admitted in the Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand (MEAC) of the Federal University of Cear? (UFC), on December 24, with respiratory failure. She was taken to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but the failure has evolved into a more severe, acute respiratory distress syndrome (Sara). The woman lived in the neighborhood Panamericano and died on 9.

The Department of Health of the State (Sesa) last week received laboratory confirmation that she was with influenza A (H1N1), marking the third death in the new flu in three days. The first death in Cear? was confirmed on Monday and the second on Tuesday. Were two women, one 29, lives in Pirambu, and another 39-year-old resident of the bird. The deaths are evidence that the virus circulating in the state, according to Manuel Fonseca, coordinator for the Promotion and Protection of Health of Sesa.

Vaccination
The forecast of the Ministry of Health is that immunization against the new influenza virus begins between March and April throughout the country strategy of vaccination, however, is still being defined. In the same period, the state should receive more than 20 new equipment for artificial respiration. According to Fonseca, they are essential to keep the patient alive longer in the fight against the virus, which attacks the respiratory system.

The expectation, however, is to continue growing the number of severe cases and deaths caused by new flu, believes Fonseca. `` We will have some deaths, unfortunately. There are some people that the disease appears more severe for some personal factor, some more exposure. `` The natural tendency of the spread of the virus also is it to replace the kind that normally circulate in the state, but with the same lethality , the president of the Infectious Diseases Society of Cear?, Roberto da Justa. `` There may be new deaths, but in the same proportion of influenza virus former ``.

QUESTIONS

This virus influenza A (H1N1) is circulating in Cear??
For the Department of Health, the recent deaths are evidence of that, as a research professor Fernanda Edna Ara?jo, Federal University of Cear?, held at the Albert Sabin Hospital. Eight children were identified with the new flu virus. It is believed that the virus is circulating in the state since July last year.

> Why is the vaccine does not arrive soon to Ceara?
- The Ministry of Health also claims to be preparing for vaccination, and it must happen at the same time, throughout the country according to Sesa, before the vaccine is distributed, they must pass inspection by the National Institute of Quality Control in Health (INQS). There is also fear that making vaccination early in some states, there is the flow of many people to these places in search of the vaccine.

> How is the confirmation of the case of swine flu?
Sesa, the recommendation of the Ministry of Health, receives confirmation at the Institute Evandro Chagas in Bel?m (PA). The tests are done only for severe cases. Only two other labs in the country do this kind of examination, one in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The Central Laboratory of Public Health (Lacen) Ceara must also be accredited to the service by the Ministry in view of the state and the Northeast. Laboratory personnel have been through the training and there is also the necessary equipment.

> Why do pregnant women at risk?
- It is proven that the immune system of women is more fragile during pregnancy. They also undergo changes in the body that can contribute to increased respiratory symptoms such as weight change.

"Do not worry. In the summer season is not swine flu, doctors said the family of the university Wagner Colini Boy, 29 years. Ledo The mistake was one of the reasons that led Wagner to die on Monday due to the disease, becoming the second victim of the influenza A (H1N1) in Minas Gerais this year. Appalled by the slow diagnosis and lack of preparation of doctors who attended Wagner, University of relatives vented during the funeral, which took place Tuesday at the Bonfim Cemetery in the northwest region, and reported that even confessed to infectious disease they do not know anything about the virus. "They were 28 days of torture. He was in several private hospitals, where they said the symptoms were just a common cold. Only after being admitted to the ICU in critical condition, that the H1N1 was diagnosed. But it was too late, "laments the accountant Colini Elizabeth, cousin of Wagner.
With a lot of coughing, fever and diarrhea - the main symptoms of swine flu - Wagner, who was studying accounting at PUC Barreiro and second family had a healthy life and not even the flu, went through five private hospitals, where doctors referred him to return home diagnosed with seasonal flu. "They dismissed the chance of the new virus," says indignantly, the administrator Alu?sio Jos? Vieira, a relative of the couple. According to him, the first signs of disease that would have been Wagner began on January 16, but only in 23 days, with the intensification of symptoms, the university student was admitted in a hurry.

"On 25, he went to the ICU in a coma," says Jos? Aluisio, adding that the admission, examination was done for the swine flu. "But the result was indeterminate. How can this be? Only in the second examination, when he was in very serious condition, the other tested positive for H1N1, "recalls Elizabeth, saying the boy took the drug Tamiflu, but to no avail. "The virus has reached the lungs, causing him to have a hard time breathing. He was intubated, but he died while having a heart attack, "adds the cousin of the university, with the certainty that evil silent can be worse if we consider that it ends in the summer.

According to the president of the Brazilian Society of Virology, Paul Roehe, the virus is gone, there was only a decrease in the incidence of cases. "In winter, the fact that people get closer to each other causes the transmission to occur more easily. But he who had no contact with the disease in 2009 at risk of becoming infected. Those who passed the disease are immune to it, "he says, adding that it is an illusion to think that the influenza A only appears in a given season. "If so, the people of Alaska (USA) live cold."

Second wave

Of the three confirmed cases of the virus in Minas in 2010, two died. In addition to the university on Saturday killed a bird in Belo Horizonte, 30, who contracted the disease in Caraj?s (PA), where he worked. She came to Belo Horizonte for treatment and died at a private hospital in the capital. While deaths are not considered by health experts as a sign that the second wave of influenza A have already knocking at the door of the state, authorities are mobilizing to deal with new cases that may arise.

On Wednesday and Thursday, technicians from the Municipal Health (SMSA) meet with health professionals to report on the vaccination that begins in 8 days. The expectation is that 1.3 million in Belo Horizonte are vaccinated. "This week we will register health professionals, who will be the first to be immunized. The idea is to organize the implementation of the injection for the services of posts and Emergency Care Units (UPA) is not compromised, "says the assistant secretary of the medium, Fabiano Pimenta.

Next week, the State Department of Health (SES) back to fire the State Committee to Combat Human Influenza A (H1N1), which was created last year because of the epidemic, and came to meet weekly. This year, the meetings will take place in principle, every 15 days, to enable authorities to evaluate the clinical disease in the state. The concern is not in vain. No less than 1.7 thousand people died of H1N1 last year around the world, in Minas Gerais were 145 people who lost their lives.
