Third or fourth death from influenza A?

Authorities confirmed and then are denied to them
Writes: HUGO SUPO stipulates | Company - 06:00 h

- They display of irresponsibility in handling numbers of deaths in DIRESA Puno. - 10 new suspects were identified and are serving in different hospital.

Health sector authorities can not agree about the statistics released to the media on the issue of influenza AH1N1. At the beginning of week, Redess Azangaro confirmed the death of a child of eleven months for this evil, but the Regional Health Authority (DIRESA) does not stop to recognize that death as an officer, noting that the death was from another cause while the baby if it was infected by influenza A.

"At the request of the First Joint Provincial Prosecutor of the province of Azangaro has practiced law in the autopsy of a child eleven months old who died on 23-07-09 with the diagnosis of" cerebral edema ", determined as the underlying cause of death as "pneumonia, influenza virus AH1N1" and final cause as "cerebral edema" is no reason to consider the registration of notification of influenza AH1N1 of Puno DIRESA because the final cause of death "justifies the DIRESA.

Adding that death, there were three deaths (two adult women initially) in the region, but for DIRESA the third death occurred recently with the death of a man 39 years in the REDESS San Rom?n (21-07-2009 ).

According to the official statement, this person came from Huancan? and died with the diagnosis of sepsis and bronchopneumonia. According to the report Redess San Rom?n, the person in question days before he went to the American Clinic Juliaca on the date of 18-07-09 and 19-07-09 was transferred to the Hospital "Carlos Monge Medrano, where the sample was taken and referred to the Instituto Nacional de Salud - INS on 19-07-09.
