H1N1, 37 year-old dies in Naples Doctors: 'Influence underestimated'
NAPLES - He died Luigi Caruso, the 37 year-old Grazzanise suffering from influenza A, which had been admitted to hospital intensive care unit in the center of San Leonardo di Castellammare di Stabia in the already desperate conditions, with severe respiratory failure.
"Unfortunately - says the center's director, Aniello De Nicola - all our efforts failed to save the patient, despite his young age, and no pre-existing disease. There are three cardiac arrests occurred, resulting in respiratory overload. "
The patient was supported with medications and a machine for automatic ventilation technology. Caruso was a great smoker, and recently took antidepressants. Even for the prof. De Nicola death of the unemployed was unexpected because it was not considered a person at risk.
"It remains sadly regret, because compared to last year, this influence has been underestimated - reflects the director of intensive care - our patient was not suffering from a serious underlying disease, as were previously found to be affected patients died with the virus H1N1. I do not have numbers on this, but there is a feeling that this year, compared to the past, deaths are more numerous. The excessive alarmism last year on the risk of a pandemic that never occurred, has led citizens to distrust and this year there was the same race to the vaccine, the only shield for this kind of influence.
