Mueren por gripe A dos ni?as de cuatro y 13 a?os en Catalu?a
Las menores no ten?an patolog?as previas que pudieran haber agravado la enfermedad, por lo que se trata de los dos primeros casos en Espa?a de pacientes sanos que pierdan la vida a causa del virus H1N1

COLPISA - 14/11/2009 17:36

La peque?a de cuatro a?os resid?a en el Prat de Llobregat y falleci? el jueves de forma repentina, igual que la otra menor, de 13 a?os, que viv?a en Barcelona. El Departamento catal?n de la Salud confirm? que ninguna de las dos ni?as padec?a "aparentemente problemas respiratorios, ni tampoco ten?an malformaciones cardiovasculares, ni siquiera obesidad", como casi todos los fallecidos por gripe A hasta la fecha.

Salud se?al? este s?bado que los m?dicos de los dos centros sanitarios donde perdieron la vida las ni?as investigan las causas de la muerte y sobre todo por qu? ninguna de las dos hab?a respondido a los antivirales que se les suministraron durante toda la semana.

Ante la gravedad del asunto, Salud y el departamento de Educaci?n han puesto en marcha de forma urgente los protocolos de informaci?n y seguimiento entre los padres de los alumnos de los centros donde estudiaban las menores fallecidas. Los centros escolares, no obstante, se han mantenido en el anonimato para no generar m?s alarma.

A estos dos casos se une el fallecimiento, tambi?n el jueves, de la primera menor en Catalu?a, en este caso una ni?a de 12 a?os de Castelldefels. Los profesores y m?dicos de los tres centros donde estaban escolarizadas las ni?as se esfuerzan desde el jueves en tranquilizar a los padres, seg?n inform? este s?bado el diario 'Avui'.

La incidencia de la gripe A en Catalu?a se ha disparado con la llegada del fr?o, la pasada semana. Al margen de las v?ctimas mortales, el n?mero de afectados se ha duplicado. Por ello, la consejera de Salud, Marina Geli, insiste constantemente en que "no hay que confiarse, ya que detecto una cierta relajaci?n entre la poblaci?n". Las muertes sin factores de riesgo previos ten?an que llegar, seg?n aseguraban tambi?n con cierta asiduidad los expertos. Y lo han hecho entre los ni?os no porque sean m?s vulnerables, sino porque la gripe est? masivamente extendida en esta franja de edad.

En Catalu?a han muerto por gripe A 14 personas, todas ellas con problemas y patolog?as previas y la mayor?a de edad avanzada, salvo las tres ?ltimas ni?as.

La campa?a de vacunaci?n comienza el lunes. Todo el personal sanitario ha sido convocado para que se vacunen no s?lo para su propia protecci?n, sino para evitar contagios a sus pacientes. Tambi?n estar? disponible para quien tenga dolencias cr?nicas y para mujeres embarazadas. Salud no ha incluido a los menores entre los grupos de riesgo a quienes recomienda vacunarse.

Die from influenza A two children of four and 13 years in Catalonia
The minors had previous pathologies that could have aggravated the disease, so this is the first two cases of healthy patients in Spain who lose their lives because of the H1N1 virus

COLPISA - 14/11/2009 17:36

The small four-year resident in El Prat de Llobregat and died suddenly on Thursday, as the other minor, aged 13, who lived in Barcelona. The Catalan Health Department has confirmed that none of the two girls suffered from "apparent respiratory problems, nor had cardiovascular malformations, even obesity," as almost all deaths from influenza to date.

Health said Saturday that doctors in the two health centers where girls lost their lives researching the causes of death and especially why none of them had responded to antivirals that were provided throughout the week.

Given the seriousness of the case, Health and Education Department have launched an urgent information protocols and monitoring among parents of students in schools where the children studied who died. Schools, however, have remained anonymous to generate no more alarm.

These two cases are compounded by the death, also on Thursday, the first child in Catalonia, in this case a girl of 12 years of Castelldefels. The professors and doctors from the three schools where girls were struggling in school since Thursday to reassure parents, according to the newspaper reported Saturday 'Avui'.

The incidence of influenza A in Catalonia has been triggered by the arrival of the cold last week. Besides the fatalities, the number of affected children has doubled. Therefore, the Minister of Health, Marina Geli, constantly insists that "there must be trusted, and I detect a certain relaxation in the population. The deaths without previous risk factors had to come as well with some regularity claimed experts. They have done among children not because they are most vulnerable, but because flu is massively extended at this age.

In Catalonia has died of bird 14 people, all with problems and previous pathologies and most elderly, except the last three girls.

The vaccination campaign starts Monday. All healthcare staff have been subpoenaed to vaccinate not only for their own protection, but to avoid infecting their patients. It will also be available for anyone with chronic conditions and for pregnant women. Health has not included children between the risk groups who get immunized.

Please not that Tamiflu resistance was not shown - but should be investigated nonetheless as the clinical picture suggests so
