Children pneumonia attack
Juliaca, the capital of the province San Rom?n in the Puno region , recorded ten of the fifteen deaths from pneumonia, reported by the Regional Health Directorate Puno so far this year.
Low temperatures ranging from 7 to 10 degrees below zero and the harsh cold greatly affects minors, which are the most vulnerable victims of acute respiratory infections and pneumonia.
According to the director of the San Rom?n Networks, Percy Casaperalta Calsina, ten children died from pneumonia in this area, only one died in hospital, all others died in their homes.
These hospital deaths from pneumonia are verified by autopsies of Law by the area of Forensic Medicine, who once delivered significant results.
Casaperalta ensures that the deaths are because the parents do not recognize the symptoms of pneumonia, despite being alerted by commercials and visits made by health professionals, house by house.
The doctor states that the only in-hospital fatality was recorded in San Rom?n Networks was in the hospital Carlos Monge Medrano in Juliaca, where you could not do anything to save a baby who was less than a year born . "His case was already very complicated and even that was attended, could not resist," he says.
Hospitalizations
Just this week, 20 children were hospitalized in the hospital Carlos Monge Medrano, of which six are for pneumonia and other respiratory infections 14.
The doctor says that compared to past years, the hospital service could no longer collapse because only remain hospitalized for pneumonia 3 to 4 days maximum, unlike those times when a child was hospitalized for over a week.
"We needed drugs," he stresses. Only if the child does not respond to medicines, prescriptions are delivered to her parents bought in pharmacies in the street. "
Children who are hospitalized for pneumonia not only get the disease from the cold, many also are malnourished and their agencies have few defenses, says Casaperalta, who remembers that every parent should take into account the symptoms of pneumonia, flu, difficulty breathing , agitation, loss of appetite and drowsiness
