По информации компетентных источников, в течение прошлых суток, 28 октября, в городе Червонограде умер 31-летний мужчина, у которого предварительно диагностировали пневмонию, аналогичный случай произошел этой ночью в Дрогобыче. According to competent sources, during the past day, October 28, in Chervonograd dead 31-year-old man, who has previously diagnosed with pneumonia, a similar incident occurred last night in Drogobych. Оба больных обратились к медикам с первыми признаками заболевания. Both patients went to doctors with the first signs of the disease.

Also, the source reported that in the Lviv regional clinical hospital of the three pregnant women who were diagnosed with pneumonia, was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Главный врач областной клинической больницы Александр Лемишко заявил, что беременные женщины переведены не в реанимационное отделение, а "в отдельный корпус больницы в палаты интенсивной терапии". Chief physician of the regional clinical hospital Lemishko Alexander said that pregnant women are not transferred to the intensive care unit, and in a separate building a hospital in intensive care. По его словам, это сделано для того, чтобы изолировать больных женщин от других беременных и родильниц. According to him, this is done in order to isolate the patients from other pregnant women and parturients.

"У всех трех беременных диагностирована пневмония, однако окончательно об этом можно будет говорить, когда будут готовы результаты бактериологических посевов", - отметил А.Лемишко. "All three pregnant women diagnosed with pneumonia, but ultimately this would be to say, when they are ready results of bacteriological cultivation", - said A. Lemishko.

Въезд и выезд из города областного центра Украины остается свободным ? как автомобильными путями, так и железнодорожными. Entry and exit from the city of the regional center of Ukraine remains free - as motor roads and railways.

Слухи пошли из-за неизвестного заболевания, который стал причиной смертельной пневмонии у семерых, еще 25 человек находятся в тяжелом состоянии. Rumors have gone because of an unknown disease that has caused fatal pneumonia in seven, another 25 people were in serious condition. Всего на Западной Украине госпитализировали 126 человек. Results in Western Ukraine was hospitalized 126 people. Сказать точно, что с ними, врачи пока не могут. Say exactly what happened to them, doctors can not yet.

Десять ? в Тернопольской области. Ten - in the Ternopil region. Шесть ? в Ивано-Франковской. Six - in Ivano-Frankivsk. И четверо ? на Львовщине. And four - in the Lviv region. Статистика смертей от пневмонии за октябрь. Statistics of deaths from pneumonia in October.

Сегодня ночью умерла беременная женщина на Прикарпатье. Last night, a pregnant woman died in the Carpathian region. Врачи считают, что смерть произошла из-за того же вируса, что и предыдущие, но официально причину смерти не называют. Doctors believe that the death occurred due to the same virus as the previous, but the official cause of death is not known.

Re: Ukraine: at least 20 die of possible swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

Anyone any comments on the multiple reports that some "disinfectant" was sprayed over the city from planes last night?
.

- Apparently the health situation is regarded as serious by the authorities;

- Desinfection is regarded as usefull to prevent or diminish more infections;

- Authorities want to do something in times of crises;

- Also reports on desinfection of trains and schools.

Неизлечимая болезнь медицины Incurable disease of Medicine
Моя подруга ? в панике. My girlfriend - in a panic. Ее дети живут у родителей в Тернополе. Her children live with parents in Ternopil. Малышня и старики уже неделю кашляют. Malyshnya and old for a week coughing. До этого ? грипповали с высокой температурой. Until then - have influenza with high fever. Участковый доктор в крайней степени затурканности прописал от гриппа ?Арбидол?, от кашля ? ?Лазолван? и предложил сделать флюорографию, отдельно в детской и взрослой поликлиниках. A precinct in an extreme degree of doctor zaturkannosti prescribed flu "Arbidol, cough -" Lazolvan "and suggested that x-rays, separately in pediatric and adult clinics. Переносного рентген-аппарата для диагностики на дому в городе якобы нет. Portable x-ray apparatus for diagnosing at home in the city allegedly no. Нет также инфекционного диспансера. There is also an infectious hospital. И это не весь кошмар ситуации? And this is not the whole nightmare of the situation ...
Пора сказать правду: главная проблема ?западноукраинского мора? не в том, что люди болеют, а в том, что их не лечат, как следует. It's time to tell the truth: The main problem of "the western Ukrainian plague" is not that people get sick, but the fact that they are not treated as they should. К сожалению, под этими словами я могу подписаться лично. Unfortunately, under these words I can sign up in person. Несколько лет назад меня тоже накрыла так называемая интерстициальная (другими словами ? вирусная) пневмония. Several years ago I also covered the so-called interstitial (in other words - viral) pneumonia.

Обращение к врачу особого результата не дало: установили диагноз, прописали антибиотик и отправили излечиваться домой. Appeal to the doctor did not give specific results: diagnosed, prescribed an antibiotic and sent home cured. Дни шли, лекарства не помогали. Days passed, drugs did not help. Снова пошла к врачу. Again went to the doctor. Снова прописали антибиотик. Again prescribed an antibiotic. Уже другой. Already other.

Короче говоря, через не очень продолжительное время я познакомилась со всеми достижениями отечественной медицины, в том числе и платной. In short, not a very long time, I met with a host of domestic medicine, including the fee. Сон в специальной маске, искусственная вентиляция легких и что-то там еще в ассортименте. Sleep in a special mask ventilation, and something they have in stock. Как мертвому припарки. As dead poultices.

Согласитесь, оригинальное состояние, когда тебя лечат за нехилые деньги, ты все послушно исполняешь, как скрипка Страдивари, а в результате этих усилий на горизонте начинает проглядывать уютный отдых на погосте. Agree, the original state when you are treated for nekhilyy money, you're all dutifully perform as a Stradivarius violin, and as a result of these efforts on the horizon, beginning to develop a comfortable rest in the churchyard.

Спасибо знакомым коммерсантам, которые оплатили лечение в Швейцарии и доставку туда потенциального трупа (т.е. автора этих строк). Thank you familiar businessmen who paid the medical treatment in Switzerland and the delivery of the corpse of the potential there (ie the author of these lines). В клинике, специализирующейся на легочных заболеваниях, работали обычные врачи, а вовсе не фокусники или волшебники. In the clinic, which specializes in lung diseases, worked regular doctors, but not magicians or wizards. И лечили они меня обычными уколами и экологически чистым, правильным питанием. And they treated me with injections of conventional and environmentally clean, proper nutrition. Названия препаратов, насколько помню, отличались от тех, которые давали здесь, в Украине. The names of drugs, as I remember, differed from those given here, in Ukraine. Но это может быть всего лишь отличие в торговых марках. But it may just be a difference in brands. Честно скажу, не знаю. Honest, I do not know. Но удивительная штука ? швейцарское лечение, в отличие от украинского, подействовало. But the amazing thing - the Swiss treatment, in contrast to the Ukrainian, had its effect. Причем всего за две недели. And just two weeks.

С тех пор (тук-тук по дереву) горькая чаша пневмонии миновала меня, к большому облегчению коллег, которым не нужно слушать многочасовой кашель и переживать за собственное здоровье. Since then (knock, knock on wood) a bitter cup of pneumonia away from me, much to the relief of colleagues who do not have to listen to many hours of cough and experience for their own health. Видимо, пролечили не только качественно, но и с определенной гарантией. Apparently, have treated not only qualitatively but also with a certain guarantee.

К огромному сожалению, далеко не всем судьба выдает счастливый билет такого свойства, как мне. Tragically, not everyone gives a lucky ticket fate of such a nature as me. Прошлым летом, в самую жару, в хорошей столичной больнице от пневмонии умер мой первый муж. Last summer, in the heat, in a good metropolitan hospital from pneumonia died, my first husband. Мы давно разошлись, поэтому о трагедии я узнала постфактум. We have long gone, so I learned about the tragedy after the fact. Для всех его друзей и близких она была, как гром среди ясного неба, ? умереть от пневмонии в 40 лет, при обилии лекарств и врачей! For all his friends and family, she was like a bolt from the sky, - die from pneumonia at age 40, with an abundance of drugs and doctors! Хотя для украинской медицины, думаю, случай типичный. Although the Ukrainian medicine, I think, is a typical case.

Вот и среди 1 млн. 90 тыс. 891 человека, которые живут в Тернопольской области, найдется в лучшем случае всего несколько сотен людей, которым доступно лечение за границей, и которые настолько озаботятся своим здоровьем, что уедут в ту же Швейцарию или Австрию. That's among the 1 million 90 thousand 891 people who live in the Ternopil region, there is, at best, only a few hundred people who care is available abroad and are so to attend to their health that will leave the same Switzerland or Austria. Остальным придется играть в фатализм. Others will have to play in fatalism.

Как сообщает Радио "Свобода", Тернополь чуть ли не единственный областной центр, в котором нет инфекционного госпиталя ни для взрослых, ни для детей. According to Radio Liberty, Ternopil almost the only regional center, in which no infectious hospital either for adults or for children. При городской больнице имеется инфекционное отделение на 60 кроватей, еще 10 мест обустроили на случай свиного гриппа. At a city hospital infectious department has 60 beds, 10 sites established in the case of swine flu. То есть 70 кроватей на население всей области, притом, что с жалобами уже обратились десятки тысяч людей. That is 70 beds for people across the region, though the complaints have already turned tens of thousands of people. А многие просто махнули рукой на помощь медицины и ограничились самолечением. And many simply waved his hand to help Medical and self-limited.

Кстати, о статистике. Speaking of statistics. Она явно занижена. It is clearly underestimated. Сначала говорили о семерых летальных исходах. First talked about the seven fatalities. Двое жителей облцентра и пять селян (среди них недавно родившая женщина) скончались от пневмонии, вызванной простудной инфекцией. Two residents obltsentra and five villagers (such as those recently given birth to a woman) died from pneumonia caused by catarrhal infection. "Газета по-киевски", тем временем, со слов тернопольчан, пишет о 12 погибших. The newspaper in Kiev, meanwhile, with the words ternopolchan, wrote about the 12 killed. Газета "Сегодня", ссылаясь на свои источники, сообщает о 16 погибших. The newspaper "Today", referring to its sources, reports 16 dead. Вчера официально прозвучала цифра 19. Yesterday officially unveiled the figure 19. Источники, с которыми общалась моя подруга (а она, поверьте, опытный репортер), по секрету сказали ей, что эту цифру надо умножить, как минимум, на два. Sources with whom I communicate my girlfriend (and she, believe me, an experienced reporter), secretly told her that this figure should be multiplied at least two. Но власти боятся паники, поэтому выходить на реальный страшный показатель будут постепенно: шила в мешке не утаишь. But the authorities fear panic, so terrible to go to the real figure will be gradually: murder will be hidden.

Например, в классе, где учится ее старший сын, гриппом переболели почти все дети, кроме одной девочки. For example, in the classroom, where she was studying her eldest son, influenza chickenpox, almost all children, except one girl. Аналогичная ситуация в селе у родственников. A similar situation in the village with relatives. При этом лечения как такового нет. This treatment as such. Есть профилактика, чай с малиной, мед, баня и водка с чесноком. There are prevention, tea with raspberry, honey, sauna and vodka with garlic. Более продвинутая публика в городах принимает арбидол, которого хронически не хватает в аптеках и больницах. More advanced audience in the host city arbidol, which is chronically short in pharmacies and hospitals.

Явно занижается статистика умерших и в других областных центрах. Clearly underestimated in the statistics of the dead and other regional centers. С каждым днем увеличивается мартиролог во Львове, куда завтра собрался с визитом президент Украины Виктор Ющенко, сегодня ставший кандидатом в президенты на второй срок. With each passing day increases the martyrology in Lviv, which is meeting tomorrow with the visit of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, has today become a candidate for president a second term. Львов признается в смертях с еще большим скрипом, чем Тернополь. Lviv is recognized in the deaths of even more squeak than Ternopil. Ко второй половине дня четверга уже была озвучена цифра 10 (до этого было 4). By the afternoon of Thursday have already been announced figure of 10 (previously it was 4). Еще 11 человек в тяжелом состоянии лежат в реанимации. Another 11 people are in serious condition in intensive care.

В Ивано-Франковске с 13 октября официально умерли шесть человек, госпитализированы 25 человек, из них семь в тяжелом состоянии. In Ivano-Frankivsk 13 October officially dead six people, hospitalized 25 people, including seven in critical condition. Сколько жертв и какая болезнь (грипп, его осложнения либо пневмония) их унесла на самом деле, мы, возможно, не узнаем никогда. How many victims and what disease (influenza, its complications, or pneumonia), they claimed in fact, we may never know.

В Киеве по статистике эпидемия захватила 19 тыс. 453 человека, за последнюю неделю ? почти три тысячи. In Kiev Statistics epidemic seized 19 thousand 453 people, over the past week - almost three thousand. Нет сомнений, что не все ушли из больниц здоровыми. There is no doubt that not all left the hospital healthy. Но сколько реально умерло и от чего ? мы не знаем. But how many really died or what - we do not know.

"Говорить о причинах смерти рано, ? уверен директор Украинского центра гриппа Александр Гриневич. ? До сих пор нет ни одного заключения вирусологической экспертизы о том, что причина смерти ? грипп". "Talk about the causes of early death, - the director of the Ukrainian Center of influenza Alexander Grinevich. - So far, no conclusion virological examination that the cause of death - influenza. Более того, никто до сих пор не знает, свиной ли это грипп ? А/H1N1. Moreover, no one still does not know whether the pig is the flu - A/H1N1.

Пока в Украине зафиксировано всего два случая заболевания гриппом этого штамма. While in Ukraine, recorded only two cases of this strain of influenza. В соседних странах болеют намного чаще. In neighboring countries are ill more frequently. Так, в Румынии зафиксировано 336 заболевших, в Польше ? 170, в России ? 1174, в Венгрии ? 283, в Белоруссии ? 6 человек. For example, in Romania recorded 336 ill, in Poland - 170, in Russia - 1174, Hungary - 283, Belarus - 6 people. Журналистское расследование моей подруги показало, что дело не в том, что украинцы ? здоровее, а в том, что у нас это просто не диагностировалось. Investigative journalism friend of mine showed that it was not that the Ukrainians - healthier, but the fact that we simply do not diagnose.

Ее непрофессиональные выводы фактически подтвердила Анна Горбань, врач-педиатр высшей категории, главный врач Института детского здоровья доктора Богомолец. She lay in fact confirmed the findings Anna Gorban, pediatrician highest category, the chief doctor of the Institute of Child Health Dr. Bogomolets. В одном из недавних интервью она сказала: ?Лично я не верю, что на Украине всего два случая заболевания свиным гриппом. In a recent interview she said: "Personally, I do not believe that in Ukraine only two cases of swine flu. Но пока результатов тестов нет ? не нужно нагнетать обстановку?. But while the results of tests are not available - no need to escalate the situation. "

Более-менее вразумительный ответ на вопрос, от чего умирают наши соотечественники, должна дать вирусологическая экспертиза, которую проведут в Киеве в течение 7-14 дней. More or less plausible answer to the question of what our people are dying, should give a virological examination, which will meet in Kiev within 7-14 days. Однако глава парламентского комитета по вопросам здравоохранения Татьяна Бахтеева говорит, что украинская экспертиза ? не гарантия: "Наши лаборатории имеют слабую базу для таких исследований, и не факт, что их данные будут правильными". However, the head of the Parliamentary Committee on Health Bakhteyeva said that the Ukrainian expert - not a guarantee: "Our labs have a weak foundation for such research, and not the fact that their data is correct."

"Нельзя исключать вариант того, что люди могли умереть не просто от гриппа, а от свиного?, ? уверяет профессор иммунологии Федор Лапий. По его словам, 7 смертей на область за неделю ? это слишком много: "Ранее такой высокой смертности даже во время вспышек не было". "We can not exclude the option that people could not just die from flu, but from the pork," - says Professor of Immunology Fedor Lapy. According to him, 7 deaths in the region for a week - it's too much: "Previously, such a high mortality rate even during outbreaks was not. "

"В США уже объявлена пандемия свиного гриппа, тысяча человек уже умерли. Это в США, где есть вакцины, а у нас будет просто мор", ? прогнозирует первый замглавы комитета по вопросам здравоохранения Вячеслав Передерий. "The United States has declared a pandemic of swine flu, a thousand people have already died. It is in the United States, where there is a vaccine, but we will have just plague" - the first deputy head predicts Committee on Health, Vyacheslav Peredery.

Впрочем, проблема, как мы уже сказали, не в том, что люди болеют, а в том, что их нормально не лечат. However, the problem, as we have said, not that people get sick, but the fact that they normally can not be cured. Это просматривается из конкретных случаев, ставших, увы, летальными. This is viewed from the specific cases that have become, unfortunately, lethal. Например, одна из первых смертей ? молодой 32-летний мужчина, которого тревожила, по его мнению, лишь легкая простуда. For example, one of the first death - a young 32-year-old man, who was worried, in his opinion, only a slight cold. Он поехал с ней в гости к родственникам в один из райцентров. He went with her to visit relatives in one of the regional centers. Там ему стало хуже, однако и после вызова врача больного не госпитализировали. There he became worse, but after calling the doctor and the patient is not hospitalized. Почему? Why? Врач не увидел оснований. The doctor saw no reason. Видимо, по привычке прописал все тот же ?Лазолван?. Apparently, the habit has prescribed all the same "Lazolvan.

Когда же через пару дней "скорая" таки забрала парня в больницу, он начал кашлять кровяными сгустками и задыхаться (от себя скажу ? очень знакомое состояние). When a few days later an ambulance took the boy still in hospital, he began coughing blood clots and choke (on my own I say - very familiar condition). Медики сделали то, что делают всегда в таких случаях (говорю на собственном опыте), ? подключили к аппарату искусственного дыхания. The doctors did what they always do in such cases (I speak from experience) - connected to a respirator. Через несколько дней парень умер. A few days later a guy died.

В другом случае 40-летний мужчина, проболев перед этим пять дней дома, обратился в больницу с жалобой на высокую температуру, лихорадку и болезненный кашель. In another case, a 40-year-old man, aching before that five days at home, went to a hospital complaining of high fever, fever and a painful cough. Его пролечили. Have treated him. После чего он также перешел на кашель с кровяными выделениями. After that, he also turned to a cough with blood secretions. И буквально через три дня пребывания в больнице умер. And three days later in hospital died.

В общем, очевидно, что вне зависимости от того, ?свинячим? или ?не свинячим? окажется грипп, от которого умерли люди, украинская медицина прошла еще один Рубикон, доказавший неизлечимость болезни самой украинской медицины. In general, it is clear that regardless of that, "pig" or "not pig" would be the flu, from which people died, Ukrainian medicine has passed yet another Rubicon, had proved a fatal disease most Ukrainian medicine.

Помимо экономической деградации, преступной по сути долговой политики государства, бомбы замедленного действия, заложенной в социальной сфере, мы имеем полное и очевидное фиаско здравоохранения. In addition to the economic degradation, crime is essentially a debt policy, time bombs planted in the social sphere, we have a complete and obvious failure of health. Новые методы лечения болезней нам недоступны из-за падения уровня образования. New methods of treating diseases, we are not available because of falling levels of education. Лекарственные препараты, закупаемые за границей, часто оказываются ?фуфлом?. Medications that are purchased abroad, often "bullshit". А собственные медицинские исследования проводятся почти на любительском уровне. And own medical research is carried out almost at the amateur level. Результат налицо: с каждым годом перечень болезней, которые могут дать смертельный исход, будет расти. The result is obvious: Every year the list of diseases that can give a fatal outcome, will grow. Так недолго и от насморка помереть? So long and die from the cold ...

Re: Ukraine: at least 20 die of possible swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

В Западной Украине от пневмонии, по официальным данным, умерло 32 лица. In Western Ukraine from pneumonia, according to official data, 32 individuals died. Медики отмечают, что если бы больные своевременно обратились к ним за помощью, их удалось бы спасти. Doctors report that if patients promptly turned to them for help, they could have been saved.
Однако в Ивано-Франковской области на протяжении 23-27 октября общее количество обращений людей с жалобами на респираторные заболевания на Прикарпатье достигла 9,5 тыс., половина заболевших ? дети в возрасте до 14 лет, треть ? школьники. However, in Ivano-Frankivsk region during 23-27 October the total number of calls from people complaining of respiratory disease on Prykarpattya reached 9,5 thousand, half of cases - children under the age of 14 years, one third - the students. В области зарегистрированы 6 летальных случаев от негоспитальной двусторонней пневмонии как осложнение острой респираторной инфекции. In registered 6 cases of fatal community-acquired pneumonia as a complication of bilateral acute respiratory infection. 29 октября власть Прикарпатья объявила карантин в вузах, школах, детских садиках областного центра. October 29 Prikarpattya announced quarantine authority at universities, schools, kindergartens regional center.

На Тернопольщине от неизвестного вируса умерло 12 людей, еще 17 ? в крайне тяжелом состоянии. At the Ternopil region from an unknown virus 12 people died, 17 more - in critical condition. Ввиду сложной ситуации с заболеванием на ОРВИ, СЭС приняла решение продолжить карантин в Тернополе еще на 14 дней. Given the difficult situation with the disease to SARS, SES has decided to continue in Ternopil quarantine for 14 days.

Во Львовской области от инфекции умерло 10 лиц. In the Lviv region have died from infection 10 persons. В частности на 29 октября в области от инфекции умерло 10 лиц: 5 львовян, 3 жителей Дрогобычского района и двое ? города Дрогобыч. In particular, on 29 October in the area have died from infection of 10 individuals: 5 Lviv residents, 3 residents of the area and two Drohobych - Drogobych. В этот же день, губернатор Львовской области Николай Кмить подписал распоряжение о введении в области и Львове карантина. On the same day, the governor of the Lviv oblast Nikolai Kmit signed a decree on the introduction of quarantine and Lviv.

В Ровенской области на 29 октября от ОРВИ умерло 2 людей: 28-летняя женщина в Костополе и работник ровенского телевидения "Сфера-ТВ" в Ровно. In the Rivne region on Oct. 29 from SARS killed 2 people: 28-year-old woman in Kostopol and employee Rovno television "Sphere-TV" in Rivne. Власть Ровно призывает жителей делать прививку от гриппа, тогда как главный врач больницы скорой медицинской помощи Львова Мирон Борисевич заявляет противоположное. Authorities Exactly encourages residents be vaccinated against influenza, while the chief doctor of the hospital ambulance Lviv Borisevich Miron says the opposite. "Проводить вакцинацию после того, как началась эпидемия ? вредно. Это снизит природную вирусосопротивляемость организма и может способствовать появлению гриппа тяжелой стадии лечения", ? заверяет эксперт. "Vaccinate after the outbreak - is harmful. This will reduce the natural virusosoprotivlyaemost organism and may contribute to the emergence of influenza severe phase of treatment", - assured the judge.

На Буковине официально зарегистрированного 3 летальных случая. In Bukovina officially registered 3 fatal cases. Все больные умерли от легочной недостаточности. All patients died of pulmonary failure. В целом в Черновицкой области с начала эпидемического сезона на 28 октября заболело 6 тыс. лиц, половина из которых ? дети. In general, the Chernivtsi region since the beginning of the epidemic season on Oct. 28 ill 6 thousand persons, half of them - children.

На Закарпатье тоже зарегистрирован 1 летальный случай. In Transcarpathia also registered 1 fatal case. Главный врач Закарпатской областной инфекционной больницы Михаил Поляк на пресс-конференции заявил, что мужчина, который умер в Воловце, имел клинически подобные симптомы к гриппу А(H1N1). Chief physician of the Transcarpathian Regional Hospital for Infectious Diseases Michael Polak at the press conference said that the man who died in Volovets had clinical symptoms similar to influenza A (H1N1). Известно, что больной, занимался перевозкой рабочих в Россию и часто бывал за пределами Закарпатья, он уже больным поехал в Россию, и больным вернулся в Украину, то есть болезнь у него была запущена. It is known that the patient was engaged in the transport of workers in Russia and was often outside the Carpathians, he was sick went to Russia, and the patients returned to Ukraine, that is, the disease had been launched. Он обратился в стационар с легочной и сердечной недостаточностью и умер от отека легких. He went to hospital with pulmonary and cardiac failure and died of pulmonary edema. В то же время в областном центре эпидемиологический порог не достигнут, эпидемия не объявлена, ибо за неделю было зафиксировано только 4 тысячи обращений, а не 7 тысяч, что может быть основанием для объявления эпидемии. At the same time in the regional center epidemiological threshold is not reached, the epidemic has not been declared, for the week, there were only 4 thousand hits, rather than 7 thousand, which could be grounds for declaring an epidemic.

Премьер-министр Украины Юлия Тимошенко распорядилась на заседании правительства выделить дополнительные средства из Стабилизационного фонда для предупреждения распространения вирусного заболевания в стране. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko ordered at a meeting of the Government to allocate additional funds from the Stabilization Fund to prevent the spread of viral diseases in the country. Отметим, что из бюджета на предупреждение распространения вирусного заболевания уже был потрачено 50 млн грн. Note that from the budget to prevent the spread of viral diseases have already been spent UAH 50 million. Все эти средства, по словам кандидата в президенты Украины, были освоены для того, чтобы предупредить любые вспышки эпидемии. All of these funds, according to the Ukrainian presidential candidate, were utilized in order to prevent any outbreak.

Re: Ukraine: at least 20 die of possible swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

I think this reporter is a bit screwed up. This outbreak is clearly NOT pneumonic plague (caused by Y. pestis) as that illness has much too high a fatality rate. I think the reporter combined pneumonia and plague (outbreak) and got her information confused.

SHOCK! Epidemic of pneumonic plague in Ukraine? (updated at 05:39 pm)
MIGnews.com.ua
Ministry of Health has not established the exact diagnosis of the epidemic disease in the western regions of Ukraine. Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevich has given information about spread of diseases in the Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv Regions today at the meeting of Cabinet of Ministers.

According to the Minister, the World Health Organization is ready to render assistance to Ukrainian experts and the Ministry of Health in order to establish the cause of death and development of disease flu in the Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv Regions.

"We are working at receiving the vaccine against influenza A (H1N1) also", - said Vasily Knyazevich and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to render assistance.

Answering question of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko about the definition of the specific nature of the disease, the head of the Ministry of Health said: "The nature of infections is viral one. But at the moment it is not defined, is it the Californian influenza H1N1, or it is our seasonal influenza. To date, there is no precise diagnosis."

In turn, First Deputy Prime Minister Olexander Turchynov urged "not to slow in the matter, and hold a conference tomorrow," and noted that preliminary information about the nature of infections will be received tonight.

According to the Minister of Health, to date, 12 adults have died in the Ternopil Region. "There are problems, people of working age 20-45 years are sick, there is a problem with pregnant women (we have the death in the Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil Regions), 17 patients remain in the grave condition, 4 of them have artificial pulmonary ventilation", - said Vasily Knyazevych.

According to the Minister, leading international experts, particularly from Russia and Europe, will be involving into establishing the diagnosis.

He noted that the Ivano-Frankivsk region reached the epidemic threshold. 6 deaths are registered there which are related to this situation. Also, the Minister of Health noted that the climatic and temperature conditions in the Ternopil Region did not lead to the development of disease in these regions.

In turn, Yulia Tymoshenko ordered before the end of today's meeting of the government to bring her all the data, the estimates associated with the epidemic disease as a draft form. She also ordered Oleksander Turchynov to consider the issue of informing the public through the video and broadcast that person should avoid work and study if he has signs of cold, and urgently appeal to the doctor.

In addition, Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Health to send special circulars, which contain instructions for the doctors in this situation, to all hospitals of Ukraine, and to explore the amount of necessary additional funding to counteract an outbreak of viral diseases in the western areas.

In connection with the spread of flu quarantine has been declared in schools in the Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk Regions.

04:10 p.m. Despite the fact that doctors do not state that epidemic of swine flu has started in Ukraine, the facts speak for themselves: a man died in Transcarpathia. Precisely swine flu killed him.

According to reports, a week ago the man returned from Saint Petersburg, where he was on a business trip, with symptoms of cold, but sought medical treatment only when the health condition was already critical: there were complications in the form of inflammation of the lungs and pulmonary edema.

Doctors and specialists of the Transcarpathian regional sanitary-epidemiological station previously recognized swine flu as the cause of death, but in connection with the complexity of the final laboratory tests the cause of death of the man has not yet succeeded, reports Obozrevatel.

Another patient with symptoms of swine flu has been hospitalized to regional infectious diseases hospital in Uzhhorod. The resident of Koritnyany village, Uzhhorod district recently returned from Moscow, and felt a deterioration of health. Doctors are confident due to the timely treatment the patient will recover.

Today in Uzhhorod a press conference is planned to be held involving specialists of the Office of Health and State Administration. It will be held at 03:30 a.m. in the regional center of health.

As MIGnews.com.ua correspondent has learned, a group of specialists of Transcarpathian regional sanitary-epidemiological station has left for investigation of a fatal case in Volovets village, whence the deceased comes from. Doctors say that it would be too difficult to confirm the presence of swine influenza in the region - in Ukraine there are no special methods and technical capabilities, Vitaly Logos, MIGnews.com.ua correspondent reports.

An epidemic of A/H1N1 influenza may appear in November in Ukraine, told the director of the Ukrainian Center of influenza and acute respiratory infections Olexander Hrynevich. "Most likely, it will appear when the weather deteriorates. People will be cold?,- said Hrynevich.

05:22 p.m. 21 people have died in three western regions of Ukraine, according to preliminary data, of pneumonia, ForUm reports. Swine influenza has not been found, but the final results will be known in two days, when the additional tests will be spent in London.

Olexandr Hrynevich assured that Ukrainian epidemiologists have been prepared for the epidemic of influenza A/H1N1, reports ForUm. According to him, the state has reserves of disinfection means, necessary tests to identify A/H1N1 have been purchased, places for treatment of patients have been prepared. Hrynevich suggests that an epidemic of swine flu may start soon in Ukraine.

Today, on October 29, it has become known about another case of death from pneumonia in Chernivtsi. Ministry of Health calls on all citizens if symptoms of influenza or other acute respiratory viral diseases appear, go to hospital immediately.

Due to the epidemiological situation the trip of President Victor Yushchenko to the Lviv Region may fail, Glavred cites the chief state sanitary doctor of the Lviv region Roman Pavliv as saying.

On Saturday, October 31, business trip of President of Ukraine to the Lviv Region is planned to be on the occasion of the establishment of the West Ukrainian National Republic.

Three members of Ukraine?s embassies are being checked by doctors on influenza A (H1N1), Foreign Minister Petro Poroshenko reported. "There was information that the three officials of embassies are suspected of being ill with virus A (H1N1). All necessary facilities were provided for treatment and diagnostics," - he said.

Petro Poroshenko said that the Foreign Ministry established a fund for immediate disbursement of funds for treatment in cases where the health of members of diplomatic missions of Ukraine is under threat. The Ministry is also developing mechanisms for temporary insurance for diplomats working in countries where the epidemiological threat or an emergency for their social protection are declared, Ukrainian News reported.

05:39 p.m. Doctors are calling on citizens not to vaccinate against influenza, because such vaccination in the midst of the epidemic may injure the health, coordinator of epidemic influenza in Lviv Miron Borysevich claimed at a press conference, proUA.com reports.

"When an outbreak of influenza begins, nobody is being vaccinated. From the point of view of epidemiology this can not be done because it is harmful. It may harm the patient," - he said.

At the same time, doctors advise not to communicate with people who are sick. If you have to contact with sick people, use flu masks.

A closed meeting has been held in Ivano-Frankivsk, at which participants agreed that epidemic of the so-called "pneumonic plague" is being spread throughout Ukraine. But the problem is its form is unknown, it is ATYPICAL nobody knows how to treat it.

PNEUMONIC PLAGUE has an acute course than other forms, over and is accompanied by a very high mortality rate. The incubation period of primary pneumonic plague rarely exceeds more than 1-4 days. It begins, as a rule, suddenly - with shivering, fever, headache, myalgia, weakness, nausea. The symptoms of pneumonia - cough with phlegm, chest pain, shortness of breath - usually appear on the second day of the disease. Blood spitting, growing respiratory disorders, heart failure, respiratory failure, shock are being observed. In primary pneumonic plague phlegm usually is watery or mucinous, foamy, with blood or visibly bloody.

A secondary pneumonic plague occurs as interstitial pneumonia. Phlegm is scanty and more dense and viscous than in primary pulmonary plague. It is believed that in this regard, patients are less contagious.

As a reminder, yesterday, on October 28 flu epidemic in the Ternopil Region, which had appeared a week ago, mowed down nearly 10,000 of residents. Moreover - unknown virus has already killed seven people. Ministry of Health has confirmed 20 deaths from pneumonia in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv Regions. By Yulia Makoveeva, MIGnews.com.ua

Re: Ukraine: at least 20 die of possible swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

From the "Avian flu diary blog".

# 3903







For the past few days newshounds on the flu forums have been busily finding, and translating, articles from the Ukrainian and Russian press regarding an outbreak of an `unknown disease’ in the Ukraine, which has been blamed for as many as 22 deaths.


This disease has been described most frequently as `flu-like’ and `atypical pneumonia’, and so there is a strong likelihood that this is the novel H1N1 `swine’ flu virus – although that has not been established.


Translations from Russian to English are problematic at times, and we are seeing conflicting accounts, so until we learn more these reports should be viewed with a certain amount of skepticism.



The FluTrackers thread now has in excess of 66 posts over the past three days, as the newshounds compile and analyze these reports. A few excerpts from these reports below:



The first story was posted by Dutchy on October 27th. Bear in mind that these are machine translations from the Russian language:



In Ukraine, from complications following an unknown form of flu deaths of seven people


Ternopil. October 27. INTERFAX-UKRAINE - In Ternopil region of Ukraine on October 26 from complications caused by flu, seven people died, said Tuesday the head of the regional health administration Bogdan Oniskiv.



At a press conference on Tuesday in Ternopil, he noted that almost all dead - the young, physically healthy people. "



He also informed that over the past few days in Ternopil with flu symptoms unknown to the medical institutions sought about 6 thousand people.



Over the next 24 hours the number of deaths reported escalated to 20, and we received conflicting reports as to whether this virus was H1N1. Samples have reportedly been sent to a lab in London, and results are not due back for several days.



This report posted by Hogweed.



Health Ministry Confirms 20 Lethal Pneumonia Cases In Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk And Lviv Regions


(15:59, Wednesday, October 28, 2009)Ukrainian News Agency


The Ministry of Healthcare confirms 20 lethal cases of pneumonia in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions, first deputy health minister Vasyl Lazoryshynets, has told at a news conference.



He said that 95 people were taken to hospitals in Ternopil region since October 13, of them 25 in grave condition and 10 of them died.




In Ivano-Frankivsk region 25 people were taken to hospitals for the same period, seven in grave condition, six died.



In Lviv region 6 patients were taken to hospitals since October 1, of them two in grave condition, four died.



In his turn, first deputy health minister / chief sanitary officer Oleksandr Bilovol said that a high threshold of incidence rate of acute respiratory viral infection has been recorded for the last week and a half in these regions, specifically in Ternopil region the epidemiological threshold exceeded by one and a half times.



He says that at the moment they are searching for underlying causes of pneumonia for every of the lethal cases.



Bilovol expects results of the research in a week.



On Wednesday Vasyl Kniazevych, the health minister, has said that nine cases of death by pneumonia registered in Ternopil region by October 28, and also 95 people treated at hospitals with the same diagnosis.



As to the minister, suspicions of the А(H1N1) influenza virus were not confirmed.



As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the health ministry formed a commission to study reasons for the uprise in the incidence rate of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in Ternopil region.



There are also conflicting reports over whether quarantines and travel restrictions have been imposed in the region. Below is an updated report from today, posted by Dutchy.



A couple of notes: The mention of SARS in these reports are an artifact from the translation software, and should be interpreted as viral pneumonia or ARDS. Additionally, the use of Rapid Influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) to rule out H1N1 is an unreliable method.




In Western Ukraine, the number of deaths from viral pneumonia rises to 22 people, including two children


29. 10. 2009 | Kyiv, October 29. / Corr. ITAR-TASS Galina Nekrasov.



Two more deaths due to viral pneumonia registered in Ternopil and Lviv regions. Thus, the number of deaths from an unknown virus in the western regions of Ukraine has reached 22 people, the press service of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Almost doubled in the last day of the increased number of hospitalized. Hospitals are more than 130 people, of whom more than 30 in critical condition.



In all the western regions of the country set up mobile teams of the ambulance that identify patients and urging people not to engage in self-medicate. "If a patient on the first day, ask for help, then there is a 100 percent chance to save him," said the chief sanitary doctor of Ukraine Alexander Bilovol.



The disease occurs rapidly, beginning with the high, up to 40 degrees, temperature, fever and chills, on the third day there asphyxiation and pulmonary insufficiency, developed bilateral pneumonia and pulmonary edema.


The disease is not treated with antibiotics, only new antiviral drugs, which in pharmacies there. They're centrally transported to hospitals in the region. The cost of one day of treatment the patient is 10 thousand hryvnia / more than 1 thousand dollars.



Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevich argues that "rapid diagnosis does not confirm the strain of California virus A/H1N1 / in the three western regions. Analysis of patients sent to the virology laboratory in London. "Ukraine, as one of the countries of the European region, serves the laboratory.



Obviously an interesting situation, and one that is being watched closely. The most likely explanation here is the H1N1 virus, but we will have to await laboratory confirmation to know for sure.

In the hospital for pregnant she was taken from Kalush (Ivano-Frankivsk region). До того как женщину госпитализировали, она лечилась от простуды дома сама. Before the woman was hospitalized, she was treated for a cold house itself.

По предварительной официальной версии причиной смертей является не грипп, а пневмония ? осложнения после ОРВИ.
