Na Slovensku nie je epid?mia chr?pky, upokojuje Ra?i

Minister zdravotn?ctva dnes upokojoval na tlačovej besede situ?ciu, ktor? sp?sobili r?zne, aj nepodlo?en? inform?cie o ??ren? chr?pky, resp. novej chr?pky. M?di? upozornil, ?e pokiaľ by sa ...

BRATISLAVA 5. novembra (WEBNOVINY) - Minister zdravotn?ctva dnes upokojoval na tlačovej besede situ?ciu, ktor? sp?sobili r?zne, aj nepodlo?en? inform?cie o ??ren? chr?pky, resp. novej chr?pky. M?di? upozornil, ?e pokiaľ by sa ??rili neoveren? inform?cie "bude jeho povinnosťou d?vať n?vrhy na trestn? ozn?menie t?kaj?ce sa trestn?ho činu ??renia popla?nej spr?vy". Podľa ministra moment?lne na Slovensku nie je epid?mia chr?pky.

"Ako to b?va ka?d? rok, v tej svojej najsilnej?ej f?ze pravdepodobne doraz? na prelome mesiacov janu?r a febru?r - pr?ve preto budeme musieť byť v?etci pripraven?," kon?tatoval Ra?i. Podľa neho bude toto obdobie vy?adovať vz?jomn? d?veru rezortu a m?di?, aby mohli byť ľudia pravdivo informovan?. Minister dementoval medializovan? inform?ciu, podľa ktorej mal byť pravdepodobnou prvou obeťou tzv. prasacej chr?pky ročn? chlapec v Bratislave.

Na s?dno-lek?rskom pracovisku ?radu pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou v stredu urobili pitvu chlapca, ktor? nariadil vy?etrovateľ. "V danom pr?pade od začiatku ide o nezn?mu pr?činu smrti a pri pitve boli vykonan? v?etky forenzn? postupy, ktor? si dan? pr?pad ?iada," povedal Ra?i.

Doplňuj?ce v?sledky vy?etren? bud? zn?me poobede, dozvie sa ich vy?etrovateľ. Okrem in?ch vzoriek odobrali pri pitve aj ?tyri vzorky a jeden v?ter sl??iace na to, aby sa potvrdila alebo vyvr?tila chr?pka u tohto dieťaťa. "V?sledok v?etk?ch piatich vzoriek z tohto ne?ťastn?ho pr?padu ?mrtia ročn?ho dieťaťa bol negat?vny, to znamen?, ?e ani v?rus chr?pky A(H1N1), ani v?rus be?nej chr?pky sa nepotvrdil," vyhl?sil Ra?i.

Ra?i osobne kontaktoval najv?č?ieho distrib?tora r??ok, ktor? mu potvrdil, ?e ich m? dostatok. Podľa ministra je tie? dostatok očkovac?ch l?tok proti chr?pke. Firma, ktor? vyr?ba antivirotik?, ich m? 50-tis?c na sklade a ?t?tne hmotn? rezervy maj? viac ako 600-tis?c antivirot?k. "Najvhodnej?ou prevenciou okrem hygienick?ho re?imu a zdrav?ho ?ivotn?ho ?t?lu je očkovanie proti be?nej chr?pke," upozornil Ra?i, podľa ktor?ho aj inform?cie z Ukrajiny hovoria o tom, ?e sa tam ??ri viac be?n? chr?pka. Iba u ?tvrtiny pr?padov tam bol potvrden? v?rus A(H1N1).

Hlavn? hygienik Slovenska Ivan Rovn? na tlačovej besede uviedol, ?e podľa internetovej str?nky Ministerstva zdravotn?ctva Ukrajiny bolo u na?ich v?chodn?ch susedov do 13. hodiny niečo viac ako 478-tis?c pr?padov n?kazy chr?pkou a 81 pr?padov ?mrt?, z ktor?ch 22 je ?dajne na v?rus A(H1N1). "Pozorne situ?ciu monitorujeme, venujeme chr?pkovej epid?mii na Ukrajine maxim?lnu pozornosť," povedal Rovn?.

Svoje kroky koordinuj? s ostatn?mi rezortmi a komunikuj? aj s partnermi v okolit?ch krajin?ch. Region?lnych hygienikov po?iadali o "zv??enie ostra?itosti" a okam?it? hl?senie v?etk?ch ťa???ch pr?padov ak?tnych respiračn?ch probl?mov. "Epidemiologick? situ?cia k dne?n?mu r?nu je relat?vne priazniv?, zodpoved? obdobiu a situ?cii ako v ka?doročnej chr?pkovej sez?ne, nezaznamenali sme ?iadny zv??en? v?skyt ak?tnych respiračn?ch ochoren?, ani chr?pky, ani v t?ch pohraničn?ch oblastiach," kon?tatoval Rovn?.

Coln?ci a policajti na v?chodnej hranici nosia r??ka, 2 700 r??ok dali na po?iadanie starostke Uble pre tamoj??ch obyvateľov. Tristotis?c ďal??ch r??ok vyexpedovali a rozdelia ľuďom z v?chodn?ho pohraničia na po?iadanie starostov. V Ubli, Čiernej nad Tisou a Vy?nom Nemeckom s? lek?ri ministerstva vn?tra, pripraven? s? epidemiol?govia. K dispoz?cii je aj termokamera na hraničnom priechode.

V sez?ne 2008/2009 na Slovensku ochorelo viac ako 1,5 mili?na na ak?tne respiračn? ochorenia, na chr?pku takmer 233-tis?c ľud?. Minul? t??deň na ak?tne respiračn? ochorenia ochorelo viac ako 55-tis?c ľud?, na chr?pku necel?ch 8-tis?c ľud?. Dve deti z Bratislavy, ktor? mali tzv. prasaciu chr?pku, u? nem??u byť podľa Rovn?ho prameňom n?kazy. "Preto?e u? uplynula t? najdlh?ia inkubačn? doba, ktor? je desať dn?, " vysvetlil Rovn?.

Rovn? potvrdil, ?e v Bratislave u? je zatvoren? jedna z?kladn? ?kola, kde absencia det? dosiahla 37 percent a jedna matersk? ?kola, kde dosiahla absencia 42 percent. Rovn? potvrdil, ?e v stredu mal ťa??? stav 27-ročn? mu?, u ktor?ho bola potvrden? chr?pka sp?soben? v?rusom A(H1N1) a na z?klade po?iadavky vedenia nemocnice pre neho zabezpečovali v?etko potrebn?. "Jeho zdravotn? stav sa rap?dne zlep?il v porovnan? so včeraj?kom," povedal Rovn?, ktor? sa o pacienta dnes zauj?mal.
