Swine flu alert in Delhi hospitals
Bindu Shajan Perappadan


Government hospitals in the Capital have been instructed to heighten their watch for HINI cases after a four-month-old child from Ghaziabad died here this past week testing positive for swine flu.
?For nearly four months, the city reported no cases of swine flu. Delhi hospitals are, however, prepared to take in swine flu cases as we have designated wards, beds and trained medical staff. Even when we were getting many cases of swine flu from the city, the situation was very much under control and occurrence of some sporadic cases after some interval doesn't have us unduly worried,'' said Delhi's Principal Secretary (Health) J. P. Singh.

He said the city hospitals have been ?asked to keep a close watch on the situation''.

Director Health Services Dr. S. Bhattacharjee said: ?We have one confirmed case of HINI death of a child in Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya in the city and the case is from outside the Capital. The child was brought to the hospital after it developed some complications and subsequently died. As for the reports about the second case at Hindu Rao Hospital we are yet to get any conformation from the hospital. All our city hospitals are, however, prepared to take on any number of cases. We are well-equipped in terms of manpower, laboratory support and hospital back up.''

He said that besides tackling swine flu, the city was also gearing up to ensure that cases of dengue and malaria remain limited with the Delhi Government having already asked the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the New Delhi Municipal Council to start taking measures to ensure that cases remain under control.

?We had a meeting on Monday to take stock of these diseases besides other items and have put in place measures including fogging, house-to-house checks and awareness programmes. As the city gears up for the Commonwealth Games, now less than 100 days away, we want to ensure that the city keeps its diseases under check and stays healthy,'' added Dr. Bhattacharjee.

'Swine flu death a stray case'
By: Surender Sharma Date: 2010-07-12 Place: Delhi
In an interview to MiD DAY, Delhi Health Minister assures the city is prepared for an H1N1 spread, even during CWG


We're ready: Kiran Walia

Is swine flu back? After a death was reported from neighbouring Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) last week, the dreaded question was on most Delhiites' lips. When we put this query to Kiran Walia, Delhi's health minister, she expressed confidence that despite the ongoing monsoon and the impending Commonwealth Games, the city's preparedness on the health front is on track.

How many fresh swine flu cases have been reported in the city so far?
There have only been two cases. A death was also reported a few days ago in Ghaziabad. I was slightly worried as thousands of people had gone holidaying to different parts of the country and abroad during the summer vacations. But fortunately, no cases were reported in those months. Now people have come back, schools have started. So, I think it's hardly an issue. These are stray cases.

What preparations has the city government made to combat the flu? Experts say there could be a spurt in cases.
We are prepared to tackle any situation. We haven't gone off guard since the outbreak last year. We have 16 designated hospitals where special measures are in place to keep swine flu patients in quarantine. I do not remember the exact figures but we have adequate Tamiflu supply and masks. Our teams are working round the clock. Proper surveillance is in place. So, there is nothing to worry about.

Commonwealth Games are barely 100 days away? What if the number of cases peaks at that point?
I do not think that the number of cases would go up. Whatever cases have come to light, concern people who had come to visit from other parts. But if need be we have a system in place to tackle the problem. Every Commonwealth venue will have clinics. CWG federation has a health examination system in place for officials and Games players. So, I do not foresee any problems.

What about the spectators? Around one lakh foreign visitors are expected during the Games.
Right now there is no indication that things would go to such an extent. But as I told you we have a proper system in place including checks at airports and other entry points. But we do not want to act in haste. If we start it right now, it will be an inconvenience to the general public. I feel action has to be proportionate to the problem. We are closely monitoring everything. We would act when need arises.

http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/jul/120710-Swine-flu-Delhi-health-minister-CWG.htm

Comment: The death of the child from Ghaziabad has been counted officially as a death from Uttar Pradesh, and I will remove one from the Delhi total.

H1N1 cases on the rise due to rains
Durgesh Nandan Jha, TNN, Jul 13, 2010, 01.55am IST

NEW DELHI: The death of a 35-year-old patient due to swine flu at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital on Friday has triggered fears about the reappearence of the dreaded disease. According to sources, there has been an increase in the number of confirmed H1N1 cases in the capital after rain. Three swine flu patients — one admitted at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital and the other two admitted at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital — are in a critical condition. Sources say one of them is a foreigner.

"V K Jha, 35, died of the disease on Friday at our hospital. He was brought here from a private hospital in Faridabad in serious condition and was put on ventilator support. He had travelled to Mumbai recently," said a senior official at RML Hospital. He said that two more persons had beenadmitted with the same symptoms. "One of them is in a critical condition. The other, who is a foreigner, is stable," the official added.

A 60-year-old patient suffering from H1N1 flu admitted at the Lok Nayak Hospital is also in a serious condition. "The patient has kidney failure as well. He was put on dialysis today," said Dr Amit Banerjee, medical superintendent of LNJP Hospital. According to him, for the past one week they have been receiving two to three suspected cases of H1N1 virus every day.

Many hospitals designated by the Delhi government for screening of swine flu cases in the city have suspended work. The swine flu ward is not functional in Safdarjang Hospital as well.

Delhi health minister Kiran Walia has said that the reported cases of H1N1 flu are mostly from other states. "All positive cases of swine flu have travel history. During vacations, many people had gone abroad and now they are coming back with these symptoms. Even the schools are opening. The government is fully prepared to deal with any crisis and all available infrastructure will be pressed into action," said Walia. She said that some screening centres were not working as there were no cases reported over the past four months.

Experts said that rains may lead to further escalation in the number of swine flu cases in the city. "Humid weather conditions are favourable for the spread of the disease. People need to be extra-cautious. However, there is no reason for panicking as the flu is treatable. It is like any other infection," said one of the experts. Pregnant women are at high risk due to the H1N1 virus. Swine flu vaccinations are still not available at chemist shops.

Swine flu: Two dead in 5 days

The H1N1 virus, popularly known as swine flu, killed one more person on Tuesday and left another battling for his life at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital. This is Delhi's second swine flu-related death in the last five days. The government still insists there is no need to worry. "The virus has become milder and even if the numbers rise during the monsoons, we
ill be prepared... now we have indigenous preventive vaccines and drugs unlike the last time when swine flu struck the city," said Delhi Health Minister Kiran Walia.

Seven people in Delhi have tested positive for H1N1 in the past one week, with most hospitals getting two-three patients for screening every day.

"Today's death was that of an 60-year-old from Karol Bagh. He got infected during a trip to Kolkata. His condition worsened quickly as he already had renal failure, and was on dialysis," said Dr TS Sidhu, medical superintendent at RML.

The patient's wife, who travelled with him to Kolkata, also reported flu symptoms and has been given the anti-viral drug Fluvir.

"All the five confirmed cases of swine flu at RML caught the infection outside Delhi," Sidhu added.

The Lok Nayak Hospital, the other Delhi hospital with positive cases of swine flu, told a different story.

"A seven-year-old boy from Ghaziabad tested positive last week. He had no recent travel history, indicating he got infected locally," said Dr Naresh Kumar, medical specialist, Lok Nayak Hospital.

But there is no reason to panic.

"The H1N1 virus currently circulating is mild," confirmed Dr Kumar.

"The Ghaziabad boy did not infect his family members."

?Health department is better prepared than last year when the virus first broke out. Our hospitals are well equipped to handle any kind of situation, though it is very much under control,? he said.

?No new cases were reported today but till yesterday the total count of swine flu patients was 38 cases,? he said.

A 40 year old man died at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research on July 15 but his reports confirming that he had succumbed to swine flu came only on Friday.

State Health officials, who were relaxed till June 10 this year as no cases were reported in the summer months, are beginning to gear up to tackle the H1N1 virus.

?The health department is better prepared than last year when the virus first struck. All our hospitals are well equipped to handle any kind of situation,? said Kiran Walia, Delhi health minister.

?There is nothing to panic. We have started our tracking exercises, where we are giving preventive fluvir doses to suspected cases,? she added.

Dr Bhattacharya said, ?Ever since the monsoon hit Delhi, there is lot of humidity in the air, which makes the environment conducive to the growth of this virus.?

H1N1 flu: 3 fresh cases, AIIMS doc in ICU

NEW DELHI: An AIIMS doctor suspected to be suffering from H1N1 infection has been admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital. Sources said that even though the swine flu was yet to be confirmed, Dr Aarul showed symptoms of the infection and was in a serious condition.

Aarul, a resident doctor in medicine department, was admitted to the ICU on Monday night with symptoms like severe diarrhoea, fever and breathing problems. "Dr Aarul is currently being given symptomatic treatment,'' said a AIIMS doctor. Sources said the doctor had returned from a trip outside Delhi recently.

On Tuesday, three positive cases of H1N1 infection were reported in the city. The cases were reported from Safdarjung Hospital, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital and a private hospital, taking the total number H1N1 flu cases in this season to 18.
