The people are off guard in the fight against influenza
Although influenza A has already taken his first victim, and that this disease continues to increase, in the country on dosed flu and people still do not practice preventive measures.

While H1N1 vaccines are kept in large numbers in boxes awaiting hospitals who are within the risk group, the influenza A virus has begun to circulate in the country.
The fear of vaccinations, the reluctance to attend health facilities and lack of adherence to preventive measures to influence in recent months the Paraguayans lower their guard against a possible second wave of the H1N1 strain.
Whereas influenza A and took a life, after confirmation of the case presented this week at the Institute of Social Welfare, Dr. Ana Carolina Fiandre of the Epidemiology Unit of the hospital, recognized that the adoption of protective measures is starting point to confront the disease.
Wash hands frequently, using alcohol gel technique and capped with a forearm when coughing or sneezing succeed in reducing the circulation of influenza virus that is transmitted by droplets.
These measures should be reinforced vaccination days in the case of pregnant women, mothers of newborns, children 6-35 months of age, adults over 60 and people with chronic diseases.
"We know that sometimes the vaccine is not 100% sure, we recognize that we can get sick if we are not practicing preventive measures at home, school and work," he says.
NO FEAR. This urgency to take necessary preventive measures are the same with the seasonal flu or pandemic. "People only fear H1N1 influenza," says Fiandre, but we know that any of the flus can cause anything from mild to death.
However, the severity of influenza A is based on that is much more transmissible and always associated with epidemics and outbreaks. What is not true for influenza B and C.
At this time, influenza A circulating in over 100 countries worldwide. In countries such as Argentina and Chile have reported cases "would not be surprising to appear at any time in our country," predicts Dr..
Given this possible scenario, Fiandre encourages people to go to medical centers in both the Ministry of Health and the Social Welfare Institute.
THE DETAILS. As an example worth a button. The death of the lady of 81 years, with associated problems of hypertension and heart disease, coupled with the influenza A, and the child's case 33 days which was also attended by a panel of influenza A, are signs of potential risks to people who are within the risk group as those under two years and older.
In both cases, over the days will confirm the serotype. "We are awaiting confirmation of the central public health laboratory," concludes Fiandre.
Although citizenship is evident in the apparent neglect of hygiene and the low turnout to get vaccinated, today is a good day to get down to work.
CONSULTATION OF VACCINATION
A peculiar case with the Institute of Social Security. Like many people who come to the hospital are people who are within the risk group, patients go directly from the area of consulting the vaccination.
About 20 thousand patients have already been vaccinated, while the number of visits has increased significantly in May, in which nearly 6,000 patients visited by the influenza-like illness, referred to Dr. Ana Fiandre.
Among the serious cases currently about 14 people have acute respiratory infections, but subtyping is still unknown. These patients are from different parts of the country, not just the capital area, said Fiandre
