Ma?alich Minister Said That The Syncytial Peak Would Occur In Two Weeks
03/Junio/2011 - 14:30
The Health Minister Jaime Ma?alich, reported that the peak should occur syncytial virus in two weeks and that this organism will continue to circulate at least two to three months after that date.
It is a very severe virus to children and usually we see in late July and early August, said the minister, but his emergence this year was ahead of the circulating levels of July 2010.
The minister explained that the virus has appeared in these moments, because the influenza virus is not circulating and that means that other viruses compete for us as guests to live and this is due in part to the influenza vaccination year past and vaccination against influenza this year.
Syncytial virus has its circuit behavior: an outbreak in 2004 had very important, four years later we had another outbreak and now again, and we thought that last year we would have more syncytial virus and did not, and has performed this year. Unfortunately there is the presence of this virus for which there is no specific vaccine, the minister said.
He recalled that this organism affects infants, premature infants, and remains circulating in the houses, and even adults are carriers of it, though the latter affects smooth, common cold, but these adults are carriers virus to children in their own homes, the minister said Ma?alich, visiting the hospital Friday Arriar?n San Borja.
He added that this winter will be very bad, many children will be hospitalized, many children will be very serious and that means we will roughly increase by 2,000 beds, the beds of the network.
He said there are authorized to reconvert 10% of the beds and could rise to 20% due to the epidemiological conditions that the health system is facing.
We need to increase the resolution capacity of our hospitals by reducing the average stay and increasing bed capacity as is happening in hospitals such as San Borja, the Barros Luco, San Jos? de Maipo, among others, said the minister.
He also said that in the country for these effects are operating approximately 26,500 beds.
Ma?alich Minister said that there has been a delay in the transfer of resources to hospitals in the eastern sector of the capital due to a step in the Comptroller General of the Republic, adding that they have a deadline of Thursday next week to have given all the money.
