[tetano]

Within a single week doubled the deaths due to influenza virus H1N1, while imports are increasing and patients in intensive care units.
From Friday to Sunday,
three other people were killed, bringing the death toll at 51.
The Health Ministry has signaled alarm and reviewed the initial stance of "discretionary" tracking the flu to avoid last year's panic and questioning the value of influenza vaccination
resulting in reduced coverage of the flu this year's population.

The Ministry of Health has found in front of the problem of lack of beds in ICU, after 193 people hospitalized in the ICU due to influenza, and therefore it is in concert with military hospitals and private clinics in order to "use" of the ICU beds.


Extra precautions from the flu
Thinking about whether there should be additional measures for the preservation of the population, since the call for influenza vaccination had no response.
Thus, considering whether there will be recommendations in particular for parents to limit children's activities indoors (children's parties, etc.), as estimated in the next few weeks will be an increase in the incidence of influenza.

According to research done KEELPNO the period 4-6 February 1265 in a sample of people, only 5.9% said they have made this year's seasonal vaccine, compared with 10.5% of the population has been vaccinated with the seasonal vaccine last year and 7.4% had a pandemic vaccine.

Re: Greece: 82 victims of the flu and 127 people actually in ICU

Once within 24 hours, killed eight people are from flu, bringing the number of deaths from the virus to 82! So far, this is the highest negative daily 'Record' on the number of those killed by the H1N1 starting mid-January when the first deaths were recorded.



The eight patients who came, except one, suffered from serious chronic health problems such as respiratory and heart.

"It is tragic that this happened! It is a shame to eight people die in a day! "Says a great style of former President John KEELPNO Pierroutsakos told Newsbomb.gr.




He even asks Pierroutsakos Public intervention for major features such as respect, responsibility by having clear shots at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ministry of Health.

"The World Health Organisation had warned as early as last September the KEELPNO for H1N1, but inactive.
It was the right information to the public "
Former president warns of the future, while urging even now the public to be vaccinated.


According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KE.EL.P.NO.), only the last 24 hours were enrolled in Intensive Care Units 14 people, double the number from him last week! So far in ICUs across the country are hospitalized 142 people who are in respiratory failure.


Since the beginning of the year, have a total of 266 hospitalized people are.

The psychological threshold of one hundred deaths from H1N1


The psychological threshold of one hundred deaths is now approaching the number of victims of the flu! Five more people died due to complications from the virus H1NI during the weekend, bringing to ninety three of them to date of deaths related to disease
and fifteen people had to be introduced into hospitals for nosileia.Meta and new introductions, the number of patients still hospitalized in the ICU amounted to 117 persons.



However, the most striking feature is that the total number of serious incidents this year's wave of influenza has been devised in 291, that is what people were hospitalized in ICU over the course of last flu pandemic in our country!

According to the latest weekly report epidemiological disease surveillance, written by scientists at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, we are still in a period of high influenza activity.
On the sixth week of 2011 (7 to February 13) visits a doctor with influenza like illness were "much higher than those recorded during the corresponding week of the 2009-2010 flu season, the last period before a pandemic flu" the report said the KEELPNO.
But the good thing is that slowed compared with last week (31 January to 6 February), which is observed for the first time during this winter.

Equally encouraging is that now presented evidence of scaling of new ICU admissions.
This at least says assistant professor of Infectious Diseases, Infectious Diseases of KEELPNO Sotiris Tsiodras who told ?Espresso? that "there is a downward trend that we hope to continue the next two weeks." The same report KEELPNO arise and other interesting facts about the flu . First,
confirmed once again that the pandemic strain of H1N1 (2009) absolutely dominated this year's wave of illness after the 1293 samples tested positive for the flu during the week 06/2011, the 1287 belonged to another interesting question stelechos.Ena evidence shows that flu hits more middle-aged men,
After the 266 serious cases were certified to day preparation of the report, 156 were men and 110 women. The average patient age is 51 years, although the age range extends from 3 months up to 96 years.
Finally, it should be noted that the eighty two patients had died until last Thursday, the twenty two had entered the Intensive, but hospitalized in ordinary wards.

Re: Greece: 108 victims of the flu and 115 people actually in ICU (304 total)

Fear that the number of victims of the epidemic may exceed the 149 deaths last year represent a pandemic most scientists as H1N1 patients hospitalized in Intensive is almost double compared to last year.

Even eight people died today from complications of flu, among them an 8 year old with underlying disease, while nine have been admitted to intensive care units (ICU) with severe symptoms.
The hospital in the ICU is a total of 115.
Specialists KEELPNO calling for people with chronic diseases for immediate vaccination and indicate how far the pandemic vaccine have been immunized million people worldwide andthey have recorded serious adverse reactions require a second thought.
In addition, advise those who belong to high risk groups and pregnant women are vaccinated pouden just have some of the symptoms of flu, visit a doctor immediately because it is necessary to assess and take immediate treatment.
Also, doctors recommend their patients to immediately fly tochartomantilo nakalyptoun they use their mouths when they cough to avoid reaching the droplets to others.

Among the symptoms of flu are the very high fever - greater than 38.5 degrees Celsius - which persists even with a fever for more than 48 hours, dyspnoea and severe headache. The doctors are all preventive hand hygiene, to avoid putting their hands in the nose, mouth and eyes.

In its business meeting held yesterday in the presence of the Secretary of Health Michael Timosidi, the epidemiologist at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Bonovas Stephen said that this year's flu epidemic seems to have gone in a downward phase in terms of the spread of disease
but not to its effects. Specifically, the data show that the peak of the seasonal wave recorded the fifth week of 2011 (January 31 to February 6) and the peak number of new admissions to the ICU 6 weeks (7 to February 13).
For the climax of the deaths Mr. Bonovas estimated that it might be recorded on the seventh or eighth week of 2011, namely that we are.



Slightly different and more pessimistic assessment was expressed by Professor Apostolos Armaganidis Intensive Care. As he said, he expects the peak of flu deaths in early March and given the ninth and tenth week.
The professor also pointed out that last year the maximum number of beds in ICU with H1N1 cases reached 73, while this year almost doubled with 126 incidents to both hospitalized in ICU. In terms of mortality among severe cases, Mr. Armaganidis said that this year is 44% versus 43% last year.
"So this year we expect the absolute largest number of imports (in ICU) and unfortunately more deaths", concluded kathigitis.To good news from yesterday's event is that the H1N1 strain has mutated and has developed resistance to anti- viral drugs.
It is positive that the last few days have seen an increase in the number of vaccinated from 5.9% of the population to 8.5%. In terms of high-risk individuals, the proportion of vaccinated reaches 20.4%, but remains very low compared to other European countries, where the figure exceeds 50%.
