Precaution against a suspected case of Influenza A

Asked health authorities to act with "wisdom" and take the necessary precautions to avoid contracting the H1N1 virus. The alarm came when in a public school showed a suspected case was not confirmed.

(Diario El Oeste) Following the comments raised on the evening of Tuesday and to the suspicion of a case of influenza A in a public school in the city, yesterday morning, the Director of Health, Dr. Liliana Masseria, together the Secretary of Government Sergio Lopez, said through a press conference that they were finding out the situation personally.

Thus, the Director of Health confirmed that the intention is to "cut" the fear with which he appeared and asked to be made judiciously. "The teachers told us that there is a guy who think they have influenza A, but not medical confirmation" Masseria was, first, alarmed that the parents of fellow students this guy, "retired to their children for fear "and on the other hand, relieved that the school authorities," wisely "isolated risk patients such as pregnant women and diabetics.

"What we want to clarify that the criterion is not escape all the flu or flu-like feeling. In fact the criteria, and in the coming days I will raise in writing, is to isolate the patient. No reason to get everyone running for a patient who has sneezed, but is now permanently cold starts, "said Dr. Masseria, recall that a person with temperature, cough, runny nose, should be isolated and maintained rest and medicated by a medical professional. The rest of society is one that must continue with their daily lives while maintaining the necessary precautions that both were reported last year. "What you should do is thoroughly clean classrooms with alcohol, as was done last year. Thoroughly clean bathrooms with bleach and desks, "he added.

Regarding the suspected case emerged publicly, said Health Director has not yet confirmed the presence of virus in the pupil of the school. However, given the suspicions, private practitioners act in the same manner as indicated last year. "It almost has no swab test because most colds are supposed to be H1N1, and therefore the hospital has the necessary medication. If it is considered a case like this, doctors can ask for medication, "said Masseria and recalled that" there is a fatal disease, "but we have to take issue" with great maturity from all sides. "

Also, Masseria said that educational institutions have since spent a protocol for action in suspected cases and "when in doubt, from the Department of Health again we are developing a protocol with the things that must be done in these situations," said Doctor finally recommended that those who did not apply to vaccines, with emphasis on high risk patients.
