      One more caution on translation: The word "Turkey" is an attempt by the machine translation to literally translate the Ukrainian or Russian word for "Kirovograd oblast" and not a reference to the country or animal of that name. Just a bug in the translator.

          Kirovohrad authorities denied information about the epidemic of swine influenza in the area

          The epidemiological situation in the Kirovograd region is stable and does not cause concern, and politicians' statements on the distribution in the region of a new atypical pneumonia virus did not meet reality.

          According to her, in May 2010 in the area observed a slight rise in the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections and flu.


          "Since May 1, have been reported 2,5 thousand cases.



          To date, inpatient treatment are 618 patients, 30% of them are preparing to be discharged in the coming days.



          According to the analysis, viruses are seasonal in nature, no atypical forms were not found ", - said Andreev.



          She noted that now all over Ukraine observed a slight rise in the number of cases of influenza and SARS.


          "Perhaps this is due to wet weather conditions, immunocompromised people, after a winter flu epidemic.



          I can not explain how a people's deputy information about an animal influenza in Kirovograd region ", - said Head.



          Andreev said that the Kirovohrad region provided medication for ongoing treatment, and in case of an outbreak of influenza.


          "We have in stock 82 thousand bottles of antibiotics, almost 40 thousand bottles of saline, 160 thousand meters of gauze, are fully secured by a drug" Tamiflu ".


          The regional reserve enough medication until the end of the year, even with the increasing incidence of up to 3 thousand people a month.



          For example, in the last day in the field have been reported 70 patients with SARS ", - said Andreev.



          As reported, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense Anatoliy Gritsenko addressed to the Ministry of Health with the requirement to verify the information on the alleged sharp increase in the Kirovohrad region of disease caused by a new animal viruses, possibly H1N1.

                allergia or pneumonia are not exactly the same.

                  According to unconfirmed reports, there has been an outbreak of an
                  unknown disease in the Kirovograd region caused by a new animal
                  virus, possibly influenza (H1N1) virus. Chairman of the Verkhovna
                  Rada Committee on National Security and Defense, Anatoliy Gritsenko,
                  requested the Ministry of Health to verify this information.

                  According to a press report, the Committee were said that information
                  had been received that, in the Archangel district of the Kirovograd
                  region, there has been a sharp increase in the number of cases of an
                  illness, which in terms of symptoms resembled an atypical pneumonia
                  or influenza, possibly caused by a animal virus such as influenza A
                  (H1N1) virus. Given the importance of the issue and the high
                  potential level of threat, Gritsenko appealed to the Ministry of
                  Health to urgently confirm the accuracy of the reports and to
                  formulate its response.

                  The Ministry of Health announced that it had already responded to the
                  member of parliament who had drawn attention to the situation in the
                  Kirovograd region and was acting accordingly. It was noted that
                  recently there had been an outbreak of swine flu in Cambodia [An
                  outbreak of avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection in humans in
                  Cambodia was reported in May 2010). - Mod.CP].

                  Influenza A/H1N1 virus was discovered in late March 2009 in Mexico,
                  the U.S. and Canada, where the 1st cases were reported with fatal
                  outcome. According to WHO, worldwide there have been more than 18 000
                  cases of infection with swine influenza [i.e. influenza pandemic
                  (H1N1)] virus infection deaths, and more than 200 countries have been
                  found infected.

                  The Ministry of Health of Ukraine, in response to the request of the
                  Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on National Security and
                  Defense Anatoliy regarding an increase in the number of diseases in
                  Novoarkhangelsk district of Kirovograd region, issued following statement:

                  According to the state health service of the Kirovograd region, with
                  operational data from the beginning of May 2010 in District
                  Novoarkhangelsk, there was a marked increase in the number of
                  hospitalized patients diagnosed with pneumonia. Increasing incidence
                  of acute respiratory viral infections and flu in the region in
                  general, and in that area over the past months, had not been
                  observed. Regional rates of acute respiratory infections matched the
                  season. Due to the increasing number of reported cases of pneumonia
                  in May 2010, daily monitoring was introduced.

                  In order to study the situation in the Novoarkhangelsk area, in May
                  2010 a working committee was constituted that included key experts of
                  the regional health administration and regional sanitary and
                  epidemiologic station. The investigation of cases found that the
                  disease had been recorded in different locations and was unrelated to
                  any [specific] factor. Most adult patients suffering from pneumonia
                  had sudden onset of illness without development of inflammatory
                  processes in the upper respiratory tract and signs of acute
                  respiratory infections, a moderately severe course of disease, and
                  positive responses to conventional treatments and antibacterial
                  drugs. In most cases, rapid and complete recovery of patients was
                  observed. As a result, the commission was unable to establish causal links.

                  The commission instituted a virologic survey of hospitalized
                  patients. A study of nasal washings of these patients in the regional
                  Virology Laboratory failed to detect antigens of influenza viruses
                  and other acute respiratory viral infections.

                  In an examination of paired sera of patients with pneumonia in the
                  Novoarkhangelsk area, only one case was found to have an increase in
                  antibody titres for influenza virus A (H1N1) California.

                  A similar situation was observed in May this year [2010] in other districts.

                  The situation regarding the incidence of pneumonia remains under the
                  control of the Health Department of the Kirovohrad regional state
                  administration and the supervision of the public health service area.

                  Background: The Department of Health Kirovohrad regional state
                  administration carried out a comparative analysis of the incidence of
                  pneumonia in 2008. By 2009, it recorded 5568 pneumonia cases, 11.2
                  percent more than in 2008. In terms of age groups, the incidence of
                  pneumonia in 2009 compared to 2008 among the teenage population has
                  grown to 73.8 percent, among children 0-14 years to 18.2 percent, and
                  among adults to 7.7 percent.

                  The total for May and June 2010 in the Novoarkhangelsk area was 143
                  patients with pneumonia.

                  According to preliminary data for the 6 months of 2010, 4983 cases of
                  pneumonia were recorded, equivalent to 98 percent of the number
                  recorded during the same period of 2009 and twice the number recorded
                  during the same period of 2008. The incidence rate of pneumonia for 6
                  months of the year 2010 is 47.8 per 10 000 population, representing
                  87.5 percent of the annual rate in 2009 and 97.3 percent in 2008. For
                  the 2nd quarter of this year [2010], the incidence rate of pneumonia
                  in comparison with the [1st] quarter grew by 21.3 percent.

                  [Part [1] appears to confuse the 2 forms of influenza currently
                  afflicting the human population: i.e. influenza pandemic (H1N1) virus
                  infection and avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection, either of which
                  may be associated with atypical pneumonia in a proportion of cases.
                  Previously in Ukraine, there was considerable confusion in
                  recognizing the presence of influenza pandemic (H1N1) virus
                  infection; see ProMED-mail references below.

                  However, the statements in part [2] appear to exclude influenza virus
                  as a cause of the pneumonia, and it is possible that this outbreak in
                  the Kirovograd region may have a different cause. Positive response
                  to antibiotic treatment suggests bacterial infection. ProMED-mail
                  thanks Andre S. and FluTrackers for drawing attention to this
                  situation, and we would welcome further information and clarification.

                      - Rise to No worries, the situation is under control, all hospitals and patients are provided in full the necessary drugs - said the head of the Health Care Administration.



                      Larissa Andreeva also appealed to area residents to not engage in self-treatment, and at the first sign of disease immediately seek help from medical institutions, as on how timely and correct treatment will depend illness and recovery patients.

                          unknown disease in the Kirovograd region caused by a new animal
                          virus, possibly influenza (H1N1) virus. Chairman of the Verkhovna

                          requested the Ministry of Health to verify this information.

                          According to a press report, the Committee were said that information
                          had been received that, in the Archangel district of the Kirovograd

                          illness, which in terms of symptoms resembled an atypical pneumonia
                          or influenza, possibly caused by a animal virus such as influenza A
                          (H1N1) virus. Given the importance of the issue and the high
                          potential level of threat, Gritsenko appealed to the Ministry of
                          Health to urgently confirm the accuracy of the reports and to
                          formulate its response.

                          outcome. According to WHO, worldwide there have been more than 18 000
                          cases of infection with swine influenza [i.e. influenza pandemic

                          The Ministry of Health of Ukraine, in response to the request of the
                          Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on National Security and
                          Defense Anatoliy regarding an increase in the number of diseases in
                          Novoarkhangelsk district of Kirovograd region, issued following statement:

                          According to the state health service of the Kirovograd region, with
                          operational data from the beginning of May 2010 in District
                          Novoarkhangelsk, there was a marked increase in the number of
                          hospitalized patients diagnosed with pneumonia. Increasing incidence
                          of acute respiratory viral infections and flu in the region in
                          general, and in that area over the past months, had not been
                          observed. Regional rates of acute respiratory infections matched the
                          season. Due to the increasing number of reported cases of pneumonia
                          in May 2010, daily monitoring was introduced.

                          In order to study the situation in the Novoarkhangelsk area, in May
                          2010 a working committee was constituted that included key experts of
                          the regional health administration and regional sanitary and
                          epidemiologic station. The investigation of cases found that the
                          disease had been recorded in different locations and was unrelated to
                          any [specific] factor. Most adult patients suffering from pneumonia
                          had sudden onset of illness without development of inflammatory
                          processes in the upper respiratory tract and signs of acute
                          respiratory infections, a moderately severe course of disease, and
                          positive responses to conventional treatments and antibacterial
                          drugs. In most cases, rapid and complete recovery of patients was
                          observed. As a result, the commission was unable to establish causal links.

                          The commission instituted a virologic survey of hospitalized
                          patients. A study of nasal washings of these patients in the regional
                          Virology Laboratory failed to detect antigens of influenza viruses
                          and other acute respiratory viral infections.

                          In an examination of paired sera of patients with pneumonia in the
                          Novoarkhangelsk area, only one case was found to have an increase in
                          antibody titres for influenza virus A (H1N1) California.

                          A similar situation was observed in May this year [2010] in other districts.

                          The situation regarding the incidence of pneumonia remains under the
                          control of the Health Department of the Kirovohrad regional state
                          administration and the supervision of the public health service area.

                          Background: The Department of Health Kirovohrad regional state
                          administration carried out a comparative analysis of the incidence of
                          pneumonia in 2008. By 2009, it recorded 5568 pneumonia cases, 11.2
                          percent more than in 2008. In terms of age groups, the incidence of
                          pneumonia in 2009 compared to 2008 among the teenage population has
                          grown to 73.8 percent, among children 0-14 years to 18.2 percent, and
                          among adults to 7.7 percent.

                          The total for May and June 2010 in the Novoarkhangelsk area was 143
                          patients with pneumonia.

                          According to preliminary data for the 6 months of 2010, 4983 cases of
                          pneumonia were recorded, equivalent to 98 percent of the number
                          recorded during the same period of 2009 and twice the number recorded
                          during the same period of 2008. The incidence rate of pneumonia for 6
                          months of the year 2010 is 47.8 per 10 000 population, representing
                          87.5 percent of the annual rate in 2009 and 97.3 percent in 2008. For
                          the 2nd quarter of this year [2010], the incidence rate of pneumonia
                          in comparison with the [1st] quarter grew by 21.3 percent.

                          [Part [1] appears to confuse the 2 forms of influenza currently
                          afflicting the human population: i.e. influenza pandemic (H1N1) virus
                          infection and avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection, either of which
                          may be associated with atypical pneumonia in a proportion of cases.
                          Previously in Ukraine, there was considerable confusion in
                          recognizing the presence of influenza pandemic (H1N1) virus
                          infection; see ProMED-mail references below.

                          However, the statements in part [2] appear to exclude influenza virus
                          as a cause of the pneumonia, and it is possible that this outbreak in
                          the Kirovograd region may have a different cause. Positive response
                          to antibiotic treatment suggests bacterial infection. ProMED-mail

                            This is a ProMED Russian post, and it now looks like not only are they denying H1N1, they are denying that there is an outbreak at all, despite post #12 (part 2 of the ProMED post), which identifies a specific hospital which claims to have 35 patients of unknown pneumonia as of July 6th.

                            In Kirovograd region there is no influenza
                            -----------------------------------


                            The fears are unfounded Anatoly Gritsenko, according to the Health Ministry.

                            Recently the head of the parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defense Anatoliy Gritsenko Ukraine's Health Ministry has asked to verify the information that the alleged Archangel region Kirovograd region rife unknown virus, and perhaps even that this sensational H1N1.

                            Locals err on the swine flu, because the cases has marked symptoms similar to those that occur during pneumonia.

                            However, epidemiologists have argued that careful control of the situation in Kirovograd region and see no reason for concern. The incidence of SARS in the region is within the annual norm, noted in the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Ukraine. And about any flu speech does not go.

                            - Respiratory symptoms, at this time of year, as we know, can trigger flowering plants, - notes general practitioner Tamara Polyakova. - This is supposedly an infectious disease may be banal allergy - pollinosis. Moreover, in the heat people are very often victims of [ARVI]. Since the sit in a draft in an attempt to cool down, or under the air conditioning, as well as drinking excessively chilled drinks. What ultimately lead to colds, sore throat, and even inflammation of the bronchi and lungs.

                            Recall also that the Commission of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe accused the WHO of health care in an unjustified declaration of a pandemic. The expert's report of PACE states: "There is ample evidence that the risk and magnitude of an influenza pandemic were significantly overestimated WHO. As a result, European countries have spent millions of dollars to fight the epidemic, which did not exist.

                            [Comment Cor VM. In the Archangel region Kirovograd region the incidence of ARI and pneumonia, which caused concern to the Head of the Parliamentary Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense, who suggested a new outbreak of pandemic influenza H1N1. At the present time have already been submitted to rebut that information. Doctors attributed the outbreak of respiratory disease with the flowering of grasses and respiratory allergies. - Cor VM]

                              And directory on the verge of crossing the threshold of influenza epidemiology. According to the website "All Kirovograd, received from its own sources, government assurances that the flu is no global warming, backed up only one - epidemiological threshold (100 patients per 10 thousand population) has not yet crossed. But the number of patients currently is 86 persons per 10 thousand population. Until not crossed the threshold, Sanitary not alarmed. However, the question arises - whether to wait until the number of patients will be 100 persons per 10 thousand population, or be crushed in any bells now?
