FAZ LACEN Genetic sequences of H1N1
Leonardo Bessa - 03/12/2009
The results were released by the director general of Lacen-PR, Marcelo Pilonetto and revealed that the virus circulating in the state is very similar to other forms, identified in other regions where the epidemic of influenza A spread.
With results in hand, our lab technicians can prepare for a possible second wave of disease, from next year. In the analysis, did not observe any significant change, that can differentiate the virus that is present in the Paran? circulating in other states and countries.
The Lacen was only the third laboratory in Brazil to receive authorization from the Ministry of Health to do the genetic sequencing of the new flu virus. Approval was given at the end of August, and the process has developed rapidly, according to the assessment of the direction of the laboratory.
In addition to the genome sequencing of influenza A transmitter, the Lacen was solely responsible for conducting examinations for the detection of H1N1 in the state. The latest epidemiological bulletin published by the Department of Health, on November 30, points out that since June 20 have been 39,143 confirmed cases of swine flu by laboratory tests and clinical criteria of Lacen in Parana, of which 285 had complications and died . Other 12,543 suspected cases tested negative.
