The flu is being affected at the hospital many of Lugo, the PAC and primary consultations, although the weekly epidemiological studies coordinated by the Ministry revealed that a lower incidence than in the previous season and is less virulent. Nevertheless, the emergency department of Xeral've seen at this point to 500 cases last year at this time, as revealed by the service manager, Manuel Garc?a Groom. "We are noticing a significant increase in recent weeks and that last year was that of the gripeA" says the head of service, which currently serves about 250 patients a day, an average higher than usual because mainly to patients with influenza.
Primary agendas also began to tighten and, indeed, in some cases it is necessary to wait two days to see the doctor. "Every day that passes we get more patient. If it is normal to see 40 or 50 a day, we spent longer than 60 or 70, "says Enrique V?zquez Seijas, optional in the health center and Fingoi CAP. His summary is instructive to understand such a concentration of patients in medical services in a flu season turns out to be less aggressive than other campaigns. "Patients come again, but with fewer symptoms. Go to the doctor more often than other years. For example, we see people with a low-grade fever, while in previous years were those accompanied by other flu symptoms such as dyspnea, high fever, which came to the center. Many come just to confirm that they do not have a more serious, like influenza, "he explains.
Although we observe a strong and care burden caused by the virus, in fact the incidence peak is coming. "It will do two or three weeks," explains the Head of Service of Pneumology, Luis P?rez de Llano, which also confirms that the flu this year is less aggressive. In fact, it has not gone through any ICU patients with pneumonia from the flu, something that did happen last year and that does occur in other hospitals in Galicia.
