Caracas, 26 Apr. AVN .- The immediate provision of treatment against the H1N1 virus to a patient who enters a public health center with symptoms related to influenza, has positively impacted their recovery time and hence in reducing potential spread of the disease.

"This behavior has a positive impact on patient outcomes and control of the epidemic, remain opposed to waiting for the results to determine whether treatment is delivered (as occurred during the pandemic first pass)," he said.
The epidemiologist said that thanks to this policy of immediacy for the provision of treatment and prioritization of risk groups for the implementation of vaccines, has overcome in the shortest possible time and with lower mortality rate the new virus circulation in 2009 killed more than 100 Venezuelans.
To better explain the process of caring for a suspected case exemplified Garcia: "A person who is in distress symptoms start today, has at least two or three days to seek medical attention. That same day (fourth day after the onset of symptoms) is making the show and begin to take the treatment. The sample is sent to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and it delivers results the next day (fifth or sixth day). "
"Already in the fifth day the person is completing her treatment when the sample may be taking positive. Then summed as a positive case but the patient is doing well, "he reiterated Garcia.
Therefore, according to the explanation of the national director of epidemiology, of the 1669 positive cases of epidemiological week 15 (until April 20) 100% of them are recovered.
On this particular Garc?a said that people who are sick are considered the most recent week reported, not the total caseload.
However, the Ministry of Popular Power for Health ensures timely information about the H1N1 flu situation in the country, information which reflects the total of positive cases have been filed.
It also ensured sufficient availability of both reagents for sample collection, which are distributed by the NIH interdiaria way to the states, also dose treatment and vaccines, which are recommended for high-risk groups: pregnant women , seniors and persons with chronic diseases
