Significantly more delay than expected appeared in La Araucan?a influenza A-H1N1. Unlike what happened last year, this 2010 have been very few confirmed cases in the country possibly by the effect of vaccination and the immunity acquired who were infected last season.
Without going any further, just yesterday confirmed the first case of human influenza in the Region. This is a young man of 20 years in the district of Villarrica, who went in the first instance to the office of the city lake and then to hospital where he underwent the PCR test which was positive for influenza A-H1N1, according to confirmation of the Public Health Institute, PSI.
The Health SEREMI Araucan?a, Gloria Rodriguez, said the patient is out of risk to life and at his home after receiving antiviral therapy indicated. "This year we had a low frequency since this is the first case last year while at the same date we had 119 infections. From the epidemiological point of view, that is because last year the virus circulated widely and therefore, the population acquired defenses, which this year also have been strengthened with the mass application of vaccine, "said authority.
isolated case
According to Dr. Rodriguez, Villarrica is an isolated case, so it denied that it is the arrival of the second wave of human influenza. "The epidemic is strictly controlled and the existence of this case indicates only that the virus is circulating in the population, as well as others such as parainfluenza, adenovirus and syncytial. Therefore, the health authorities urged people to "remain vigilant" against symptoms of respiratory disease severity.
In children less than one year must be attentive to decay, rapid breathing heavily, moaning and breathing ribs collapse and rejection of food.
In the case of older children and adults a year should be consulted immediately in the presence of cough with shortness of breath, fatigue and marked decline.
70% increase
Although still not reached the peak, visits for respiratory illness increased by 70% in recent days, according to the director of the Hospital Hern?n Henr?quez Aravena, Dr. Thalia Osorio.
"We had the characteristic increase of winter, but we are in the security zone," said optional who said the greatest increase has been observed in pediatric visits. Also, while there is a high demand for hospitalization, at least there is room for Pediatric beds available for about seventy which is the total capacity.
As for the circulating virus, which has had a greater presence by far is the Respiratory Syncytial. The wheezing and collapse in the ribs are unmistakable signs of viral pneumonia caused by the dreaded RSV.
This virus each year is causing 80% of respiratory infections affecting young children.
It is even likely that year, 100 percent of children are born infected with syncytial virus that causes the hospitalization of 2.5% of those infected.
