Informe semanal de situaci?n gripe pand?mica A (H1N1)
Jueves, 03 de diciembre de 2009

Como consecuencia de la estrategia acordada por el Pleno del Consejo Interterritorial del Sistema Nacional de Salud, la vigilancia de gripe pand?mica A (H1N1) se realiza a partir de la informaci?n remitida por la Red de M?dicos Centinelas del Sistema de Vigilancia de Gripe en Espa?a. La tasa estimada de gripe cl?nica en atenci?n primaria en la semana del 22 al 28 de noviembre fue de 243,71 casos por 100.000 habitantes, lo que indica que se ha producido un ligero descenso en el n?mero de casos.

Esto permite calcular que en Espa?a se podr?an haber producido en la semana mencionada 108.907 casos de gripe cl?nica. De los casos analizados, el 96,69% 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 105.304.

La pr?ctica totalidad de los casos cursan con un cuadro leve y responden a los tratamientos convencionales.

A fecha 3 de diciembre se han producido 169 fallecimientos relacionados con la gripe A (H1N1).

La tasa de letalidad desde la semana 27 (desde que se informa a partir del sistema de vigilancia por M?dicos Centinela) es de 0,15 fallecidos por cada mil afectados de gripe A (H1N1).

* Desde el 31 de agosto de 2009, fecha del ?ltimo Pleno del Consejo Interterritorial del Sistema Nacional de Salud, y seg?n acuerdo del mismo, la informaci?n sobre los fallecidos por gripe A (H1N1) se comunicar? semanalmente, todos los jueves, en la web del Ministerio de Sanidad dentro del informe de situaci?n general.

Para un seguimiento de la situaci?n internacional pueden dirigirse a las p?ginas de la OMS (http://www.who.int/es ) o del Centro Europeo para el Control de Enfermedades (http://ww.ecdc.europa.eu ).

Weekly situation report pandemic influenza A (H1N1)
Thursday, 03 of decembre 2009

Following the strategy agreed by the plenary of the Inter-Territorial Council of the National Health System, monitoring of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) is made from the information submitted by the Network System Sentinel Physician Influenza Surveillance in Spain. The estimated rate of influenza in primary care clinic during the week of 22 to 28 November was of 243.71 cases per 100,000 population, indicating that there has been a slight decrease in the number of cases.

This allowed a calculation that Spain may have arisen in the week above 108,907 cases of clinical influenza. Of the cases examined, the 96.69% 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 of about 105,304.

Almost all cases present with a mild and respond to conventional treatments.

At December 3, there are 169 deaths related to influenza A (H1N1).

The fatality rate from week 27 (from reporting from surveillance system Medical Sentinel) is 0.15 deaths per thousand suffering from influenza A (H1N1).

* Since 31 August 2009, date of the last plenary of the Inter-Territorial Council National Health System, and according to the same agreement, information about those killed by influenza A (H1N1) will communicate weekly each Thursday on the Web Ministry of Health within the general status report.

To monitor the international situation can turn to the pages of the WHO (http://www.who.int/es ) o del Centro Europeo para el Control de Enfermedades ( http://ww.ecdc.europa.eu ) Or the European Center for Disease Control (http://ww.ecdc.europa.eu ). ).

Re: Spain: Official figures, 169 deaths (+34 last week)

Are there any breakdown of numbers by subdivision of Spain ?
 
Re: Spain: Official figures, 169 deaths (+34 last week)

So the deaths have doubled from the week before. 17 last week, 34 this week.

The low rate of H1N1 to 316 cases per 100,000 population, and its average intensity level
SEVILLA, 4 Dec. (EUROPA PRESS) --

The rate of influenza in Andalusia was in the last week of analysis, between 22 and 28 November in the 316.59 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and an average intensity level, representing a decrease in activity H1N1 virus on days immediately preceding that of the 15 to 21 November, when it reached 380.55 per 100,000 people affected.

As is clear from the analysis of epidemiological surveillance network for influenza in Spain, visited by Europa Press, the rate Andalusian stands, however, above the global average for week 47, which was 243.71 cases per 100,000 population.

Furthermore, in its comparative communities affected Andalusian rate is surpassed only by Aragon, who bore in the analysis last week of 417.18 cases per 100,000 population, and Valencia, with 351.85 cases.

Statewide, the peak incidence of influenza could have been achieved at week 46, between 15 and 21 November, with 374.13 cases per 100.0000 inhabitants, from which they begin the descent phase of pandemic wave.

In fact, the surveillance network this week reveals that 47 of analysis remains the gradual decline in the rate of viral detection (45%), which has suffered since week 43 (68%), between 25 and Oct. 31.

Response as their distribution by age groups, the network shows a significant decrease in the incidence of influenza in groups of zero to four years (40%), five to 14 years (43%) and 15 to 64 years (32%). The incidence is also reduced in the group older than 64 years, albeit not significantly.

Therefore, it indicates a level of epidemic spread of the disease with a predominant circulation of H1N1 influenza virus, a medium level of intensity of influenza activity and a downward trend of the disease.

INCREASED MORTALITY

The network also revealed that, in the current situation was not observed the expected increase in overall mortality associated with the upstroke of the wave flu. As a hypothesis, which still poses may be early to detect an excess mortality associated with influenza and can display the data analysis in the coming weeks in other years the observed association.

In fact, points to the possibility that the H1N1 flu pandemic has some effect on overall mortality "more moderate" than previous seasonal epidemics, especially of other influenza viruses, such as AH3N2.

Still it warns that the influenza-associated mortality could be influenced by environmental temperature. Thus, moderate temperatures recorded to date, "well above those recorded during periods of peak incidence of influenza in previous years," might imply a "lower mortality associated" to increase the incidence of influenza observed. However, the network said that the evolution of this situation should be reassessed with the data analysis in the coming weeks.

Influenza A is stopped, but the death toll grows
M. R. S. - Madrid - 04/12/2009

The new flu cases detected in Spain for the first down time since the start of the pandemic last April. The curve of infected, growing steadily, says a decline now. During the week of 22 to 28 November was detected through the Sentinel Physician Network of 105,304 cases, infected almost 54,000 less than the previous week. However, up nearly 25% the number of deaths. The new flu last week claimed 34 lives including -11 in Catalonia. The H1N1 has caused since the beginning of the epidemic, 169 dead.


Influenza A
DEPTH
The threat of pandemic

The increase in the number of deaths, however, has a simple explanation. "This increase, while down the cases, it is normal. It is for patients who were for days in intensive care units," says Juan Martinez Hernandez, an expert in Public Health Hospital Carlos III of Madrid and consultant Medical College Organization (WTO). "Many patients can be hospitalized for weeks until it is resolved or not your case," he says. The same explanation gives a spokesman for Health: "What is happening is that there is an accumulation of deaths of people who were infected in the weeks when there were higher peaks.

Immunized population
But why drop the cases? "The period of maximum expansion of the pandemic is not infinite," says Martinez. The peak incidence of seasonal flu usually lasts about four weeks or less. Two of climb and two decline. In the case of the H1N1 pandemic in the U.S., was up six weeks. In Spain it is now, when much of the population has been immunized (because the disease has passed), when the peak of infection begins to descend. And will continue to stay below the epidemic threshold. Most cases detected last week, also are not serious, according to Health.

In the Netherlands has identified a mutation Norwegian died of the H1N1 virus. This is a man with a serious illness before. Two others are hospitalized with the same mutation of the H1N1 virus resistant to the antiviral Tamiflu. That country, where 76% of the 5.5 million patients considered at risk were vaccinated, there have been 36 deaths, reports Isabel Ferrer.
