La gripe A sigue engrosando la n?mina de fallecimientos relacionados con los pacientes que presentaban previamente una patolog?a m?s grave. En este caso, la nefasta lista ha recalado en Guadalajara, donde se ha registrado el primer fallecimiento a causa de este virus.
Guadalajara ha registrado el primer caso de fallecimiento por gripe A H1/N1, seg?n ha podido confirmar este diario a trav?s de la Delegaci?n provincial de Salud. El fallecido es un var?n de 48 a?os que presentaba previamente una patolog?a grave, es decir, que se encontraba incluido en los grupos de riesgo en los que la evoluci?n del virus puede cursar de forma fatal.

En Guadalajara, el primer caso de contagio por gripe A constatado se produjo el 25 de mayo del presente a?o. En aquella fecha, una joven de 21 a?os, residente en Torrej?n de Ardoz, fue atendida en el Hospital Universitario de Guadalajara y derivada despu?s a su domicilio para continuar el tratamiento. Este caso hizo el n?mero 19 en los recontados por el Ministerio de Sanidad a esa fecha. Desde entonces, la gripe A ha segado la vida de 63 personas y la tasa estimada de gripe ha crecido al ritmo en que lo han hecho las bajas temperaturas.

La vecina Madrid registra una tasa de unos 259 casos por 100.000 habitantes, mientras que el Pa?s Vasco, que ostenta el r?cord en la tasa de contagios, alcanza ya los 440 casos por la misma proporci?n poblacional, lo que ha motivado que sus autoridades sanitarias se planteen la necesidad de reforzar el personal de atenci?n.

Por comunidades
El Pa?s Vasco, Comunidad de Madrid, Castilla y Le?n y Asturias son las comunidades aut?nomas que m?s casos de gripe cl?nica han registrado en la ?ltima semana de la que se disponen datos, predominando en todas ellas el virus A/H1N1. De hecho, esta variedad del virus es la m?s contagiosa, aunque tambi?n la menos grave. Por comunidades aut?nomas, destacan los 440,32 casos por 100.000 habitantes que presenta el Pa?s Vasco, seguidos por los 259,03 de la Comunidad de Madrid (con 259,03), los 257,64 de Castilla y Le?n, los 254,33 de Asturias 254,33, los 243,09 registrados en Cantabria y los 188,26 que se han registrado en Castilla-La Mancha.

Por debajo de la media nacional se sit?an Andaluc?a (179,03 casos por 100.000 habitantes), Canarias (177,2), Catalu?a (168), Melilla (164,55), La Rioja (126,99), Arag?n (122,74), Baleares (98,73), Comunidad Valenciana (85,2) y Navarra (54,06).

Tranquilidad
A pesar de los datos de incidencia de la gripe este a?o, hay que seguir remarcando que se trata de una enfermedad que cursa de forma leve en la mayor?a de los casos y que s?lo presenta complicaciones en los siguientes grupos de riesgo: los ni?os menores de dos a?os, los mayores de 65 y los pacientes con enfermedades cr?nicas cardiacas, pulmonares, renales, hep?ticas, sangu?neas o metab?licas, as? como los que presenten alteraciones graves del sistema inmunotario.

La ministra de Sanidad, Trinidad Jim?nez, ha manifestado que la situaci?n del virus de la gripe A ?est? muy controlada? en el pa?s gracias al plan nacional de reacci?n contra la pandemia puesto en marcha y coordinado con las comunidades aut?nomas. No obstante, la ministra es consciente de que es ?previsible que haya un incremento del contagio?, al que se responder? ?de manera consistente y segura?. En previsi?n de una mayor multiplicaci?n de casos de la gripe pand?mica en las pr?ximas semanas, la ministra garantiz? que los planes de contingencia ?est?n preparados?, as? como la respuesta hospitalaria. ?Todos los profesionales sanitarios est?n recibiendo los protocolos para que se sepa c?mo reaccionar en cada caso?, apunt?.

Otra vez Tamifl?
El antiviral Tamifl?, de la compa??a farmac?utica Roche Farma, utilizado para tratar la gripe A, volvi? el pasado domingo a las farmacias espa?olas, donde puede ser adquirido siempre que se presente la pertinente receta m?dica.

Este f?rmaco fue retirado de las farmacias y restringido al ?mbito hospitalario por orden del Gobierno, con el objetivo de evitar posibles abusos del medicamento entre la poblaci?n.

Seis meses despu?s de su retirada de las farmacias espa?olas, el producto ha vuelto a las estanter?as de estos establecimientos, aunque s?lo podr? ser adquirido por los clientes si presentan la correspondiente receta m?dica.

La paralizaci?n del suministro, que se restringi? ?nicamente al ?mbito de la medicina hospitalaria, ten?a por objetivo evitar que la poblaci?n abusara de este producto y garantizar las reservas suficientes de antivirales.

A este respecto, la ministra explic? que tanto las autonom?as como el Ejecutivo central tienen una reserva ?estrat?gica? de estos productos ?para responder de manera eficaz a la gripe?.
