Although there is an increased incidence of infection with seasonal influenza viruses in the city of M?rida still no suspected cases have been detected H3N2 virus, said Silvana Vielma, head of the Public Health Laboratory in M?rida State and professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the ULA. the official explained that the H3N2 virus is a mixed seasonal with H1N1 (fraction M1) and a virus of swine origin (Soiv) whose triple recombination (Tr) has been called 'H3N2-M1 RTOS.' said Dr. Vielma that last November 25th Pan American Health Organization ( OPS) issued an alert because three children-United States-went to a health center presenting a febrile respiratory illness and when I did a genetic study, they found that a virus was mixed with seasonal H1N1. Given the possible outbreak of influenza, said the head of the Public Health Laboratory, is that there is an alert for laboratories that are in search of a positive case of HIV in the city. "This particular virus causes respiratory failure rapidly that which occurs with the H1N1. In addition to this, there is no immunity in children, especially in children under 5 years, because the vaccines that were placed before they had H3N2 in their content. Furthermore, immunity in adults is partial, and therefore we are all susceptible to this new virus, "said the teacher of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad de Los Andes. Vielma noted that the Public Health Laboratory in M?rida are being processed every viral samples from the hospital network of the entity, and, in the last three weeks, samples have been about 150 people and only 33 were diagnosed with influenza H3 seasonal H1N1 was none, so continue to make assessments to determine whether there is any case of H3N2, said Dr. Vielma, who said that so far no suspected cases. Caution Similarly called on people to maintain the same precautions that occurred when the H1N1, while noting that H3N2 seasonal flu is similar to H1N1, but the symptoms that are identified severe headache, severe cough, sharp chest pain, difficulty breathing, muscle pain (these symptoms are sudden), therefore, patients should care that they present flu or cold and have been feeling some of these symptoms seek immediate medical advice. "generally this new influenza is mainly caused by low temperatures. The people who are most at risk are children under 5 years of age, pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. " Attentive All influenzas can cause death, insisting that there compared to any symptoms of H3N2, the patient is directed to the nearest health center, because if it is treated in time to avoid complications. These viruses are in the environment and spread very quickly. AH3N2 influenza in one of the biggest risks is that, if not treated quickly, it can generate, at a minimum, pneumonia, and this, if not addressed early, can cause respiratory failure leading to death. Silvana Vielma : "Usually this new influenza is mainly caused by low temperatures. The people who are most at risk are children under 5 years of age, pregnant women and people with chronic diseases"
