Suspected swine flu patients in critical condition

Staff Reporter

Thrissur: Four suspected swine flu patients, including a pregnant woman, admitted to various city hospitals, are in a critical condition, according to district medical office sources.

While three of them were put on ventilator, the fourth was undergoing treatment in a district hospital.

They were admitted with flu-like symptoms and had developed pneumonia, the DMO sources said.

While the district has been witnessing more and more critical cases of swine flu, lack of ventilator facility in government hospitals was worrying health officials.

Though the Thrissur Medical College Hospital has four ventilators, none of them is functional.

A patient suffering from some other ailment has already been put on the only ventilator available at the district hospital. Some of the private hospitals in the city have ventilators, but not all can afford the facility.

The first swine flu death in Thrissur district was recorded on last Friday, when a 21-year-old pregnant woman who tested positive succumbed to the virus at a private hospital.

Health officials had stepped up preventive measures against the disease in the district.

Two schools in the district have been kept under observation.

Meanwhile, 11 suspected cases of A (HINI) influenza were reported in the district on Wednesday. Throat and nasal swabs of all cases were sent for test.

Results of seven cases are awaited.

17 new cases of H1N1 influenza in district
Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Seventeen new cases of H1N1 infection were reported in district on Monday, confirming fears that the virus transmission has become rapid in the wake of monsoon and the lowering of mercury levels.

One case each was reported from Malappuram and Kollam districts also, taking the total number of H1N1 cases in the State to 1,697. About 23 persons are currently in home and hospital quarantine across the State, with four cases admitted to the intensive care units. Health officials said the test swab results of 17n cases came together as there was a backlog of two days for sample testing.

?Following the earlier guidelines of the Union Health Ministry, we are testing only category C cases now. The numbers would be much more if we started testing everyone coming to the hospitals with the symptoms of cold because H1N1 is very much a community disease now and for every case confirmed, there could be scores of mild H1N1 cases in the community, which might resolve spontaneously with proper rest, food and hot fluids,? State nodal officer for H1N1 Amar Fettle said.

The cases suddenly flared up with the commencement of the rain and eight deaths were reported in the past one month, five of which were of pregnant women or women who were just delivered of the baby. Public health experts pointed out that in spite of sufficient warnings that the rain could bring alive the virus again, neither the public nor the medical fraternity seemed to have taken these warnings at face value.

Health officials said pregnancy seemed to be the biggest risk factor for vulnerability to H1N1 virus and that ante-natal or pregnant women should be considered as Category B patients even if their symptoms were mild and early treatment with Oseltamivir started. The drug was safe for use during pregnancy. Meanwhile, while the first indigenous vaccine against swine flu ? Vaxiflu-S ? by Zydus Cadila had been released in India last week, the stocks are yet to reach the drug markets here.

For comparison; there were only 9 confirmed cases in all of May.
