Re: Two men died of Influenza A

Two men in their 50s died of Influenza A (H1N1) yesterday at Skejby Hospital, north of Aarhus.

Else Smith, the director of the Board of Health called the deaths tragic, but unfortunately not surprising. She also noted that a cause of death had yet to be identified.

?For the vast majority, the influenza is harmless - and this goes for H1N1 as well. But there are unfortunately some who become severely ill and some that die. These people are not necessarily in a risk group,? said Else Smith.

Neither of the two men had any chronic illnesses, nor did they belong to any risk groups.

?However, people should not be alarmed about the deaths. But they do underscore how important it is to be aware of danger signals and to wash hands often and sneeze into their sleeves.?

The Board of Health recommends that people contact their doctors if they are sick with high fever for more than three days or have problems breathing.
