Italy, Udine - severe myocarditis in a woman affected by H1N1 flu

[tetano]

UDINE. In coma for guilt of influenza. Critical are the conditions of a woman of 39 years from Friuli arrived to the emergency department at the Hospital Santa Maria della Misericordia in Udine with a serious heart localization of the H1N1 virus, a variant of influenza derived from pigs, the so-called "swine", i.e. one of the three viruses that are dominating the current flu season. The shelter, located in conditions of extreme urgency, dates back to almost a month ago, but the woman is still in serious condition and remains in the intensive care unit, where he has never taken up the senses. Just arrived at the Santa Maria della Misericordia doctors had diagnosed a infectious localization to the myocardium, the contractile part of the heart, which responded less well than expected, causing further complications, in the first place, a dangerous form of hyperperfusion injury, or a decrease in the inflow of blood to the tissues. It must be said that the patient had no other health problems, nor suffered from chronic diseases, which makes it all the more incomprehensible the case on which the doctors were reserved the prognosis.
