DATOS

Hospitalizados: 713 desde abril. Actualmente permanecen 13 en planta. Adem?s, 72 fueron ingresados en la UCI, de los que dos permanecen en esta unidad. La estancia media de ingreso es de 5,8 d?as en el hospital y de 7,2 en la UCI.
Perfil de los hospitalizados: Un 56% eran hombres y un 44% mujeres con una edad media de 38 a?os y patolog?as previas.
Fallecimientos: Siete, dos en Gipuzkoa.
Personal sanitario vacunado: S?lo se han vacunado 3.000 profesionales de los 43.425.


El n?mero de contagios por gripe A se ha desplomado por debajo del umbral epid?mico. Desde que Euskadi registrara el primer infectado por el virus N1H1 el pasado 25 de abril, la gripe ha logrado expandirse de persona a persona hasta alcanzar picos de contagio de hasta 534 infectados por cada cien mil habitantes en la ?ltima semana de octubre. Sin embargo, desde comienzos de noviembre la enfermedad ha ido debilit?ndose r?pidamente hasta que la semana pasada s?lo logr? infectar a 37 personas de cada cien mil habitantes, la cifra m?s baja desde que el virus comenz? su expansi?n.

A?n as?, desde las instituciones se recomienda no bajar la guardia, y las actuaciones contra la gripe A permanecen activas -higiene y red de vigilancia m?dica, entre otras- teniendo en cuenta que, seg?n la Organizaci?n Mundial de la Salud (OMS), una segunda vuelta de contagios podr?a aguardar a la vuelta de enero. Adem?s, no se cuentan con precedentes de este tipo de gripe que permitan tirar de archivo y calcular su comportamiento en las pr?ximas semanas.

Por eso, junto a las recomendaciones m?dicas tambi?n permanece operativa la campa?a de vacunaci?n. Los hospitales y ambulatorios vascos a?n cuentan con 373.570 dosis dispuestas para su inoculaci?n, dado que desde que hace cinco semanas comenzara la campa?a de inmunizaci?n de los llamados grupos de riesgo (desde el personal de los servicios sanitarios y sociales hasta los enfermos cr?nicos), s?lo se han vacunado 94.614 personas de las 468.184 previstas, es decir, una quinta parte.

Entre los que m?s han acudido a su cita con el m?dico se encuentran los diab?ticos, de los que se vacunaron 29.827, seguidos de los enfermos del coraz?n. Por contra, destaca la escasa respuesta de las mujeres embarazadas. De las 26.055 a quienes se recomendaba que se vacunaran, s?lo lo han hecho 1.791, seg?n los datos presentados ayer por el consejero vasco de Sanidad, Rafael Bengoa, en el Parlamento Vasco.


M?s vacunados

A pesar de la exigua respuesta de la poblaci?n, Bengoa asegur? ayer que no descarta ampliar la vacuna a otros grupos distintos a los inicialmente previstos con las dosis restantes, aunque no especific? qu? personas entrar?an en ellos o si habr?a que variar el tipo de vacuna, en caso de que el virus mutara y se hiciera resistente al oseltamivir, tamifl?, tal como ocurri? el mes pasado. Entonces, una ni?a menor de dos a?os y con factores de riesgo ingres? en la unidad de lactantes del Hospital Donostia con gripe A resistente al oseltamivir, si bien, tras permanecer en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos ?se recuper? y fue trasladada a planta?.

En total, desde el 25 de abril han sido hospitalizadas 718 personas, lo que en ocho meses arroja un balance de 90 internados por semana. Actualmente, 13 permanecen ingresadas, aunque, si cumplen con la estad?stica dibujada hasta el momento, no deber?an permanecer m?s de seis d?as en el hospital. Adem?s, 72 personas tuvieron que ser ingresadas en la UCI tras complicarse su estado -en la mayor?a de los casos por patolog?as previas- si bien actualmente s?lo dos reciben atenci?n en esa secci?n de los hospitales. Asimismo, siete personas fallecieron.

La gripe A no ha hecho distinci?n de g?neros y ha afectado casi a tantas mujeres como a hombres, menores de 50 a?os. A?n as?, la mayor incidencia se ha dado entre ni?os de 5 y 14 a?os, seguidos por los menores de cinco a?os.

The infections by influenza A fall to its lowest level in the Basque Country
Health studies extend the vaccine to more groups at risk from those initially recommended. 710 people have been hospitalized with the virus so far

23.12.09 - 03:02 -- LIDE AGUIRRE | SAN SEBASTI?N.

DATA
Hospitalized: 713 since April. Currently remain 13 in facility. In addition, 72 were admitted to the ICU, of which two remain in this unit. The average stay is 5.8 days admission to hospital and 7.2 in the ICU.
Profile of the hospitalized: 56% were men and 44% female, mean age 38 years and previous pathologies.
Deaths: Seven, two in Gipuzkoa.
Medical personnel vaccinated: Only 3,000 professionals have been vaccinated for 43,425.


The number of infections by influenza A has fallen below the epidemic threshold. Euskadi (Basqe Country) recorded since the virus first infected with N1H1 on 25 April, the flu has been spread from person to person, reaching peaks of transmission of infection to 534 per hundred thousand in the last week of October. However, since early November, the disease has been weakening rapidly until last week only managed to infect 37 people in a hundred thousand, the lowest figure since the virus began to expand.

Still, since the institutions are advised not to lower our guard, and actions against influenza A are active-hygiene and medical surveillance network, among others, taking into account that according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a second round of infection could wait around January. In addition, there are no precedents for this type of influenza that enable file and calculate pull its behavior in the coming weeks.

So, with medical advice also remains operational the vaccination campaign. Hospitals and clinics still have 373,570 Basques ready for inoculation dose, since five weeks since the start of the immunization campaign called risk groups (from personal health and social services to the chronically ill), only 94,614 people have been vaccinated for the planned 468,184, ie one fifth.
Among the most have turned to his appointment with the doctor are diabetics, of whom 29,827 were vaccinated, followed by heart disease. In contrast, highlights the poor response of pregnant women. Of the 26,055 who were recommended to be vaccinated, only 1791 have done so, according to data presented yesterday by the Minister of Health Basque, Rafael Bengoa, in the Basque Parliament.

More vaccinated

Despite the low response of the population, Bengoa said yesterday that the vaccine does not rule extend to other groups than those originally envisaged by the remaining doses, but did not specify what people would come in or whether we should vary the type of vaccine, if the virus mutate and become resistant to oseltamivir, Tamiflu, as happened last month. Then a girl younger than two years and risk factors entered the nursing unit of the Hospital Donostia with influenza A resistant to oseltamivir, but after remaining in the Intensive Care Unit "was recovered and was transferred to guard."

In total, since April 25 have been hospitalized 718 individuals, which in eight months shows a balance of 90 inmates per week. Currently, 13 remain in hospital, although, if met with statistics drawn so far should not stay more than six days in the hospital. In addition, 72 people had to be admitted to the ICU after his condition complicated, in most cases by previous pathologies, although currently only two are cared for in that section of hospitals. In addition, seven people died.

Influenza A has no gender distinction and has affected nearly as many women as men, younger than 50 years. Still, the increased incidence has occurred among children 5 to 14 years, followed by children aged five years.

Sanidad estudia ampliar la vacunaci?n de gripe A
A. E. - Vitoria - 23/12/2009


El consejero de Sanidad, Rafael Bengoa, explic? ayer en la comisi?n de Sanidad del Parlamento vasco que su departamento estudia ampliar a nuevos colectivos la vacunaci?n de la gripe A. Bengoa subray? que los grupos de riesgo a los que se ha destinado la campa?a de vacunaci?n son los acertados, pero dej? una puerta abierta a nuevos colectivos porque tan s?lo una de cada cinco personas para las que se han solicitado vacunas han optado por la inoculaci?n.

La poca incidencia de la gripe A, que se encuentra cerca de sus niveles m?s bajos desde que comenz? la vigilancia de los infectados en abril, y el hecho de que la administraci?n de las vacunas comenz? en el momento en que el pico de la pandemia remit?a, han propiciado que se vacunen, en cinco semanas de campa?a, 94.614 personas. Bengoa subray? que el nivel de vacunaci?n es "muy aceptable", aunque buena parte de las 377.450 dosis que ha recibido Sanidad se mantienen sin ser inoculadas.

Sin embargo, si se cumplen las cifras que barajaba el consejero durante la presentaci?n de la campa?a, las dosis compradas alcanzar?n las necesarias para 460.000 personas. Por el momento ser?n una "reserva estrat?gica", seg?n Bengoa, ya que, si se repite la evoluci?n de la pandemia de los a?os 50, en marzo comenzar? un nuevo pico de infecciones. "No se descarta, seg?n c?mo vayan las cosas, decidir a qu? otros grupos se les puede ofrecer" la vacuna, a?adi? Bengoa, que se mostr? dubitativo sobre la manera de aproximarse al colectivo de profesiones esenciales para animarles a vacunarse: "no s? si hemos insistido suficientemente sobre la gente de los servicios esenciales", explic?.


S?ptima muerte por gripe

Sanidad aport?, con motivo de la segunda comparecencia de Rafael Bengoa en la C?mara vasca para explicar la evoluci?n de la gripe A, datos actualizados de la pandemia, entre los que destaca la s?ptima muerte propiciada por el virus H1N1. Se trata de un var?n de 79 a?os vecino de Vizcaya que, como la mayor?a de los fallecidos por esta causa, presentaba patolog?as de base.

Los datos aportados por Bengoa a la C?mara vasca muestran que en la actualidad hay dos personas ingresadas en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, de las 71 que han estado en estas salas desde que comenz? la vigilancia por gripe A. Los ingresos alcanzan, desde abril, las 718 personas y se han notificado 147 sospechas de reacciones adversas a las vacunas. En su mayor?a se refieren a efectos enmarcados entre los normales por el departamento, mientras que ocho notificaciones informaron de v?mitos y mareos causados por la vacuna.

Health studies expand the influenza vaccination
AE - Vitoria - 23/12/2009

The health minister, Rafael Bengoa, said yesterday at the Health Committee of the Basque Parliament that his department is studying expanding to new groups of influenza vaccination A. Bengoa said that the risk groups to which they intended the vaccination campaign are successful, but left the door open to new groups because only one in five persons for which vaccines have been requested have chosen inoculation.

The low incidence of influenza A, which is near its lowest levels since monitoring began in April of the infected, and the fact that the administration of the vaccine began in the time when the peak of the pandemic forwarding , have led to get vaccinated, five weeks of the campaign, 94,614 people. Bengoa said that the level of vaccination is "very acceptable", although many of the 377,450 doses received health are maintained without being inoculated.

However, if the figures are true shuffled counselor at the launch of the campaign, bought the doses necessary to reach 460,000 people. For the time will be a "strategic reserve," according to Bengoa, as if he repeats the evolution of the pandemic of the 50s in March will begin a new peak of infection. "It is not excluded, depending on how things go, decide what other groups can be offered" the vaccine, said Bengoa, who was hesitant about how to approach the group of professions essential to encourage them to get vaccinated: "I do not know if we have stressed enough about the people of essential services, "he said.


Seventh death from flu

Health provided the occasion of the second hearing of Rafael Bengoa in the Basque Parliament to explain the evolution of influenza A, an update of the pandemic, most notably the seventh death caused by the H1N1 virus. This is a 79 year old male resident of Biscay, as most of the deaths from this cause, presented underlying pathologies.

The information provided by the Basque Parliament Bengoa show that at present there are two people admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, of the 71 who have been in these rooms since they began surveillance for influenza A. Hospitalized reached, since April, 718 persons and have been reported 147 suspected adverse reactions to vaccines. Most relate to effects between normal framed by the department, while eight notices reported vomiting and dizziness caused by the vaccine.
