La gripe A se cobra dos nuevas v?ctimas en la Regi?n
Los dos fallecidos, un hombre de 51 a?os y una mujer de 41, presentaban patolog?as previas de riesgo. A d?a de hoy, son cinco los fallecidos en Murcia a causa de la Pandemia
27.11.09 - 14:10 - LA VERDAD | MURCIA

La gripe A se cobr? dos nuevas v?ctimas en la Regi?n en la jornada de ayer. El primero de ellos, un hombre de 51 a?os, ingres? el pasado d?a 9 en el Hospital de Los Arcos desde donde fue trasladado al Hospital Santa Mar?a del Rosell de Cartagena con fiebre alta y positivo en las pruebas del virus A (H1N1). El hombre presentaba patolog?as previas de riesgo. Falleci? el jueves por la ma?ana en el hospital por complicaciones asociadas a la propia gripe A.

El segundo caso corresponde a una mujer de origen magreb?, de 41 a?os, que falleci? en la tarde del jueves despu?s de permanecer una semana ingresada en la UCI del Hospital Rafael M?ndez de Lorca con gripe A. Su estado empeor? debido a una serie de patolog?as previas de riesgo. A d?a de hoy, son cinco los fallecidos con Gripe A en la Regi?n, dos esta ?ltima semana.

En cuanto al resto de casos, la pr?ctica totalidad de ellos presentan cuadros cl?nicos leves. La incidencia de la gripe en Murcia supera el umbral basal de actividad gripal, con una tendencia ascendente respecto a la semana anterior.

En la semana 46, hasta el 21 de noviembre, se han recogido en el sistema de Vigilancia Epidemiol?gica de la Direcci?n General de Salud P?blica en Atenci?n Primaria del Servicio Murciano de Salud un total de 8.375 casos de gripe, con predominio del virus A (H1N1).

El nivel de intensidad de la gripe es alto para el conjunto de la Regi?n, y el nivel de difusi?n de la enfermedad es generalizada en todo el territorio. Se registra una tendencia ascendente con respecto a la semana anterior en todas las ?reas sanitarias. El virus predominante en esta semana sigue siendo el A (H1N1).

Cabe destacar que en semanas de m?xima actividad gripal, en a?os anteriores, se han llegado a detectar m?s de 15.000 casos semanales de gripe y m?s de un centenar de muertes anuales en la Regi?n de Murcia por problemas derivados de la gripe. El sistema apenas est? registrando casos de gripe estacional, por lo que de momento se puede establecer que el virus de la nueva gripe est? sustituyendo al virus de la gripe estacional.

En Espa?a, 371,68 casos por 100.000 habitantes esta semana

La tasa estimada de gripe cl?nica en atenci?n primaria en la semana del 15 al 21 de noviembre fue de 371,68 casos por 100.000 habitantes en el conjunto del pa?s.

Esto permite calcular que en Espa?a se podr?an haber producido en la semana mencionada 166.094 casos de gripe cl?nica. De los casos analizados, el 95,69 por ciento ha resultado positivo para el nuevo virus de la gripe A (H1N1), por lo que se estima que el n?mero de casos de nueva gripe pand?mica A (H1N1) que podr?an haber ocurrido esta semana ser?a de unos 158.942. La pr?ctica totalidad de los casos cursan con un cuadro leve y responden a los tratamientos convencionales.

Hasta el 26 de noviembre se han producido 135 fallecimientos relacionados con la gripe A (H1N1). La tasa de letalidad desde la semana 27 es de 0,13 fallecidos por cada mil afectados de gripe A (H1N1).

Ni a las 2 fallecidas de esta pasada madrugada en Lorca de 26 y 39 a?os. La causa de la muerte es neumon?a, pero claro, esa neumon?a apareci? despu?s de ser infectadas por una gripe A, que les provoc? una "bajada de defensas". En la mayor?a de casos, la gripe A no es la causante DIRECTA de la muerte, pero provoca otras sobreinfecciones, y esos casos (que son la mayor?a) no cuentan.


27/Nov/2009 | 13:46:25 C. Marco

Me gustar?a saber por que motivo no hacen referencia en esta noticia al caso del profesor de Lorca que con 56 a?os ha fallecido al parecer como consecuencia de la gripe A, el cual en principio no ten?a ninguna patolog?a previa. ?No ser? por no alarmar?

Influenza A charges two new victims in the Region
The two deceased, a 51 year old man and a woman of 41, had previous pathologies risk. Today, there are five deaths in Murcia because of the Pandemic
27.11.09 - 14:10 -- LA VERDAD | MURCIA

Influenza A claimed two more victims in the region in yesterday. The first, a man aged 51, was admitted on February 9 in Los Arcos Hospital where he was transferred to Santa Maria del Rosell Hospital in Cartagena with high fever and positive tests influenza A (H1N1). The man had previous pathologies risk. Died Thursday morning in the hospital for complications of influenza itself A.

The second case is a woman of North African origin, 41, who died Thursday afternoon after one weeks stay in the ICU of the Hospital Rafael M?ndez de Lorca with influenza A. Her condition worsened due to a number of previous pathologies of risk.

As of today, there are five deaths with influenza A in the region, two this past week.

For the remainder of cases, almost all of them have mild clinical symptoms. The incidence of influenza in Murcia exceeds the baseline threshold of influenza activity, with an upward trend on the previous week.

At week 46, until 21 November, have been collected in the epidemiological surveillance system of the Directorate General of Public Health in Primary Care Health Service Murciano a total of 8375 cases of influenza A virus-predominant (H1N1 ).

The intensity level of influenza is high for the whole region, and level of dissemination of the disease is widespread throughout the territory. It was recorded an upward trend over the previous week in all health areas. The predominant virus in this week remains the A (H1N1).

Note that in weeks of high influenza activity in previous years, have come to identify more than 15,000 weekly cases of influenza and more than a hundred deaths annually in the Region of Murcia for problems arising from the flu. :rolleyes: The system is barely registering cases of seasonal flu, so for now you can set the new flu virus is replacing the seasonal flu virus.

In Spain, 371.68 cases per 100,000 this week

The estimated rate of influenza in primary care clinic during the week of 15 to 21 November was of 371.68 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the whole country.

This allowed a calculation that Spain may have arisen in the week above 166,094 cases of clinical influenza. Of the cases examined, the 95.69 percent has been positive for the new influenza virus A (H1N1), so it is estimated that the number of cases of new pandemic influenza A (H1N1) that could have happened this week would be about 158,942. :rolleyes: Almost all cases present with a mild and respond to conventional treatments.

Until November 26 there have been 135 deaths related to influenza A (H1N1). The fatality rate from week 27 is 0.13 deaths per thousand suffering from influenza A (H1N1). :rolleyes:

Neither died at 2 am this morning in Lorca, 26 and 39. The cause of death is pneumonia, but of course that appeared pneumonia after being infected by influenza A, which caused them a "drop in defenses." In most cases, influenza A is not the direct cause of death, but causes other superinfections, and these cases (which are the majority) do not count.

I wonder why no reference in this press release to the case of Lorca teacher with 56 years has died apparently as a result of influenza A, which in principle had no previous symptoms. Is not it not alarm?

I don't know, but things like this outbreak may help. This was first death in Lorca, later he was confirmed positive and without underlying conditions.

No close schools policy always seemed to me a very bad policy. It lets the flu come to home in children's bag.

I couldn't agree more. Schools are ideal places for viruses to flourish.

Nota: A pesar de que la noticia habla de un total de 11 muertes en Murcia, lo cierto es que ya se hab?an contabilizado oficialmente 14 muertos en la Comunidad de Murcia (http://www.laopiniondemurcia.es/com...egion-14-muertos--33000-afectados/221328.html).
Sin embargo, lo interesante de esta noticia es que se confirman oficialmente, por parte del ayuntamiento, 3 muertos en la ciudad de Lorca (poblaci?n: 90.924/Mortalidad: 32,995/mill?n).
