Reported Sunday evening that the provincial Ministry of Health
Deaths from influenza A in the province are already 18

According to data provided by the Situation Room, there are more than 2,000 cases reported, of which 400 were confirmed as positive.Of the 15 deaths corresponding to node Rosario, Santa Fe to two and the rest of the Venado Tuerto.

The Ministry of Health in the province of Santa Fe reported tonight, through the Situation Room that operates under the Contingency Plan prepared in connection with the pandemic influenza A (H1N1), the total number of reported cases with Epidemiological fact sheets exceeds 2000, with 400 confirmed and 18 deaths, 15 of which belong to Node Rosario, one of the Venado Tuerto and two of Santa Fe

This record corresponds to the information available to date Sunday July 5 to 20 hours.

New Protocol

In relation to the cases reported by epidemiological record, stated that under the new protocol has been performed only for severe cases confirmed virological and interned.

On the deceased, the report states that all have virologic confirmation Influenza A (H1N1) and ages ranging from 6 to 59 years (11 women and 7 men).

Also, the total deaths, 12 had risk factors and 6 had no prior record of risk.

Lower the amount of international consultations and

Provisional data on the production of services because it was noted that in the last week can be seen coming down the outpatient visits in health centers and hospital guards, while the amount internments.

30,000 claims from outpatient care, and guards have internments 13,000 influenza-like disease diagnosis.

Behavior of the epidemic

Regarding the evolution of the pandemic influenza A (H1 N1) in the provincial territory, the behavior varies in different geographical areas, which has already begun to overlap with the high incidence of respiratory disease which is the seasonal period.

There is a group of cities among which are Venado Tuerto, Santa Fe, Rosario and other locations in the metropolitan area where there has been movement from one person to another influenza virus, while another group does not report suspected cases or are isolated cases that can be linked directly with patients in close contact with these other cities in the province of Buenos Aires or.

Intervention Strategies

For these reasons the strategies have been adapted to the time evolution of the epidemic in each place, giving rise to two protocols of intervention:

For the first group of cities virological diagnosis in the public network (for laboratory confirmation of cases) is no longer used only for inpatients, and therefore all cases of disease that occur with temperature of 38 º and flu symptoms are considered generically as "influenza-like illness."

For the second group of cities, it continues with the approach of all laboratory-confirmed cases to generate suspicion, leading to the categorization that until now was used to transmit information on the epidemiological situation as if "suspect" or "confirmed" influenza.

Epidemiological

This heterogeneity, added to the difficulties offered by the epidemiological surveillance underreporting or delays in the transfer of files complaint, determined that the party has lost its epidemiological daily value it had at the beginning of the epidemic as a document for communication to the public of developments across the province.

That is decided in accordance with the decision by the Ministry of Health of Nation, an update of epidemiological day by hand, appealing to the mass media to disseminate news to the community in terms of new measures containment social lethal cases or changes in the protocols.

According to data provided by the Situation Room, there are more than 2,000 cases reported, of which 400 were confirmed as positive. Of the 15 deaths corresponding to node Rosario, Santa Fe to two and the rest of the Venado Tuerto.

The Ministry of Health in the province of Santa Fe reported tonight, through the Situation Room that operates under the Contingency Plan prepared in connection with the pandemic influenza A (H1N1), the total number of reported cases with Epidemiological fact sheets exceeds 2000, with 400 confirmed and 18 deaths, 15 of which belong to Node Rosario, one of the Venado Tuerto and two of Santa Fe

This record corresponds to the information available to date Sunday July 5 to 20 hours.

The above translation describes 18 confirmed fatalities in Santa Fe Province, including 15 deaths in Rosario, as of Sunday night (see updated map). A national report which reported no deaths in Santa Fe last week has an updated number of 9 for Santa Fe, and 60 for the entire country, most of which is from cases in adjacent Buenos Aires Province. The 60 confirmed cases is a marked increase from the 26 reported last week However, the 60 reported cases do not include other recent fatalities cited in media reports which included 11 deaths in Corrientes, 5 deaths in Neuquen, and at least one death in Tierra del Fuego, Jujuy, Cordoba, San Juan, Salta, La Pampa, Rio Negros, Entre Rios, and Santiago del Estero. The national totals do not include any fatalities in the above provinces, raising concerns of a rapid rise in cases that has not been reported beyond the local media reports.

These data indicate the death tally has tripled in the past week and is among the highest in the world (behind the United States and Mexico). However, the cases in Argentina developed very recently, raising concerns that the virus has changed.

To date, there is only one partial pandemic H1N1 MP sequence at Genbank or GISAID. It was collected in April and is identical to a large number of public sequences. However, there are no sequences representing the recent fatalities or June precursors to H1N1 associated with the recent fatalities.

The rapid rise in cases and the failure to provide timely sequence data continues to increase pandemic concerns of an evolving H1N1 that is largely missed by current surveillance approaches.

Recent reports out of Hong Kong described oseltamivir resistance in a traveler from San Francisco who had not taken Tamiflu, raising concerns of resistance in the US. Although no such case has been identified to date, the Hong Kong case was mild and recent (detected June 11) and US efforts have been directed away from mild cases. Moreover, none of the sequences from resistant cases in Denmark, Japan, and Hong Kong have been made public, even though sequences were generated weeks ago.

The failure to promptly disclose these sequences is also cause for concern. In Japan, notification was reportedly delayed while a manuscript was being submitted to the Journal of Infectious Diseases, although release of sequence data would not prevent publication.

The delays in release of important sequence data from pandemic H1N1 are hazardous to the world's health.

Imported cases from Argentina and neighboring countries continue to be detected in Italy.

Today we have had two children from Argentina (five year old girl, Toscana region; a two month old girl, Lazio region); and two patients from Peru (a seven year old girl and a woman).

All these patients seem to be in not serious health conditions.

If these people are carrying A/H1N1v with some antigenic and/or genetic mutations, then at least in italian gene sequences databases there should remain some traces...

RISING CURVE
3 confirmed deaths from other influenza A in the node Rosario

A flu yesterday joined three others dead, all young adults in the node Rosario, and amounts to 25 the number of casualties in the province. Lifschitz The mayor indicated that the pandemic will have effects worse than the global crisis on the local economy.

A flu yesterday joined three other deaths of young adults in the node Rosario, and 25 are victims of the pandemic in the province of Santa Fe, where there are more than 18 thousand cases. Secretary of Health, Debora Ferrandini reiterated that the lethality of the virus is low.
"Alarmadísima would be if we had fewer cases and the number of dead. Then it would have to think that the virus is mutating," said the official. Besides the health impact, there are other yellow lights. The Mayor Miguel Lifschitz found yesterday that the partial paralysis of activity as preventive measures will have greater impact for the city to the international financial crisis.

In that sense, Ferrandini considered to be "reducing the economic impact to a minimum. This was a source of conflict with some local governments, but the recommendation of the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, Ministry of health of the nation and the consensus of the ministers around the country should not be forcibly shut down any productive or social activities. " The official argued that "a total decrease in transmission is much less and does not justify the social and economic loss." He also referred to other experiences. "In Mexico everything was closed at the beginning of the pandemic and then when we had to take these measures in some states most affected, it was not possible to do socially, because people had more fear of losing industrial sources to the pandemic."

Along the same line, Lifschitz pointed out that "we have not taken restrictive measures" of economic activity. "I do not think you can blame the excess disability, I think that has worked with responsibility, without which this idea was implemented in the city of Buenos Aires and that nothing happens without the end they had reached some parts of the close the whole country, "he said.

The mayor expressed his deep concern about the economic impact of the pandemic. "These days, this month and a bit more, will have more economic impact on the city might have the international crisis." He pointed out that driving is not "percentages" but that "it is a personal impression," and also stated that "the international crisis was not in the city in a meaningful way, although there was some fall-off of industrial activities," he said.

The paralysis of the activity has to do with the fear caused by the pandemic.Ferrandini predicted that Argentina will have many more cases of this disease than in the rest of the world, because it is the first populous country in the southern hemisphere where the pandemic occurs during the winter, and provided a historical figure. "We reviewed the epidemiological evolution of the pandemic of 1918 and had a similar. It began in Texas with very few cases at the beginning of summer, there was a very significant surge in the southern hemisphere, which started in Peru and then returned north much more virulent, "said the official.

In this sense, the main concern lies in the high number of deaths in Santa Fe On the relation between the cases and deaths recorded, pointed Ferrandini low lethality of the pandemic, recalling that last year 2354 people died from pneumonia in the province of Santa Fe "We'll see at the end of the year if we had more deaths from respiratory causes," said the official. But he also recalled that this is the first epidemic in which documented more than 18 thousand patients a month in the province.

"Until last year, we do not documentábamos if deaths from pneumonia related to influenza or not. Why do we start now, because the virus is new, because the entry was new and because the winter and there was much concern about how this virus will behave here and how can mutate, "said the official.

On the drastic measures, such as the suspension of classes, Ferrandini was considered effective to install the need to take precautions in the population. "We had concerns, and still have, it becomes a virus to public health because it is unknown, also because of the huge transfer fee and attack, that's not what we saw in other epidemics. Its effect on adult strip Young is another peculiar situation, as well as the stress caused to the health service, which is the most serious effect, "he listed the reasons for the decision taken by the provincial government.

But he also regretted not having the opportunity to put on daily deaths from influenza-A with other causes deemed most naturalized as traffic accidents or heart attacks. "I am very much the attention that parents are demanding the closure of bowling by influenza A, where more boys are killed by alcoholism and traffic accidents, that what will occur in dissemination and death from influenza," said the official .

"I do not know if this is a professed ex conceal information, but there are different sources of epidemiological information. Most provinces depend on the confirmation of cases Malbrán Institute, which is three weeks late. Thus, there are provinces that say they have only 2 or 3 cases of flu, which at this stage of the pandemic is impossible. Probably more but those are the confirmations that they have received, "he said.

Working Cemar

"Instead, our clear-Ferrandini maximum delay to confirm a case of 3 days, probably the shortest in the country," because in Rosario are two special teams in Cemar (Centro de Especialidades Médicas de Rosario Outpatient Services) for these diagnostic confirmation.

The official explained that Santa Fe is looking for information, is investigated to get the most accurate data possible, unlike for example in Cordova, which "minimizes" the pandemic, and that his minister is a cree media issue.

"We just yesterday we were reviewing circuit regions which were not sending the right information. For this reason, in the coming days we may take a leap in the amount of data that is not directly related to reality, but with this information better, "he said.

Finally, the official said that "to produce this information allows us to be confident that this is not an epidemic more lethal than the rest of the world or even from the other because the number of flu cases is very high in a very short time and comparing the number of deaths, the proportion is very low. Not a particularly virulent virus, but fundamentally committed to the population at risk. "

In its report, the health portfolio highlighted that 47 deaths were recorded in the province of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe-22 in accounting for missing the last three cases, 7 in Buenos Aires, 2 in Missions and one in San Juan, Entre Rios, Black River and Catamarca, respectively.

The numbers contrast with those provided by provincial authorities in almost all cases and not others, as the two deaths reported in Cordova, one in Corrientes and Misiones and Santa Cruz, a second death in San Juan, two in the city of Buenos Aires.

Different Epidemiologists attribute the high number of deaths to rapid diagnosis.

So much so that from today a team of the Pan American Health Organization traverse the corridors of hospitals and primary care medical records Rosario investigating deaths of patients and the functioning of health services. "Many more cases exist that are not registered and know how much longer will the epidemic because no country has so far were arrested," said Secretary of Health, Debora Ferrandini. Rosario/12 prestigious infectologists who spoke with many years working in the city, about the reasons here are more victims of fatal pandemic. The majority says that there is no infection but a higher speed detection. One theory that is officially endorsed. "The Federal Health Council, the rest of the provinces complained about delays Malbrán institute that takes up three weeks to deliver results, while the lab in three days in Cemar confirm a diagnosis," said Ferrandini, optimistic by the arrival of one thousand eight treatments of Tamiflu yesterday and waiting for more than a dozen thousand arribarían today.

Ensinck Gabriela is a specialist in infectious diseases and work in Children's Hospital Victor J. Vilela from 20 years ago. While walks the corridors of intensive therapy has this newspaper that the patients are getting younger: "The disease started with kids of school age and we are now seeing a shift in that age range. Most of our patients suffering from influenza A now they are infants and young children, "he explained. Regarding the number of fatalities the professional opinion that "in the province of Santa Fe there is more sincere than in other districts, but here we are also independent of the laboratory and Malbrán Cemar immediately notify us of the positive cases."

Currently the lab is located on the first floor of Cemar receives 180 samples per day, where their reception capacity of 120 diagnoses per day. Thus there are delays, but as the health authorities are "minimal."

In the same way the medical examination Sergio Lupo said: "To my knowledge there is no hiding elsewhere. Malbrán The institute is one hundred cases study outside the province of Santa Fe and when they start to get these results certainly number of victims will be more even. Because from the epidemiological point of view and there are no health reasons for more deaths here than in Buenos Aires, for example. " The professional with vast experience, said the provincial state is working very well in healthcare. " But claimed: "All places that are not basic necessities such as bowling alleys should be closed and the courtyards of food shopping in some schedules to meet lots of people should be resized, the tables away from each other." A measure that by now the provincial state will not take.

The number of deaths in Rosario draws a huge difference to other districts of similar size and Cordova, where only three reported deaths from influenza A. Also in Buenos Aires where they would have about 13 fatalities. "With regard to the latter place I think it is clear that in our province there are a couple more sincerely we transcend cases. But the lab's work Cemar incessantly. From now on we will only send the samples of patients whose table has worsened for the rapid detection remains, "explained the Provincial Hospital infectologists, Marcela Vera Blanch.

The professional claims that the death was due to an inflammatory response to an infectious agent known as the H1N1 flu, "that for some people may be excessive and lead to death." To Lupo, it troubling to consider is that "one third of the deceased patients were healthy and no risk."

Moreover Ferrandini said "to make real comparisons will have to wait a year, when we speak of death and non-lethal." He added: "We are starting an investigation with the Ministry of Health of the Nation and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to know if these people died from influenza A or influenza A, because in 75 percent it was patients with other diseases. " Minister of Health of the Nation, Juan Manzur, said yesterday that 40 percent of deaths around the country were healthy people.

A group of physicians and epidemiologists of the OPS will join local teams to investigate three areas: the causes of death, the information system implemented by the Ministry of Health of the province and patient care. According Ferrandini, will work "consulting." According to the official records of this organization are professionals in United States, Mexico and Peru to reach the goal of "strengthening the epidemiological surveillance and health systems during the pandemic of the disease."

And 42 patients were confirmed dead

Santa Fe reported more deaths

fast because the samples analyzed

Cemar Rosario prioritizes the analysis of the swabs from patients who died of influenza and critical A. This means that in two or three days and the results are known to increase the statistics of deaths.

The drafting of the Coast

drafting ellitoral @

Our province continues to increase the number of people who die from influenza A. According to the latest report from yesterday at 21, 42 Santa Fe deaths (30 native Node Rosario, Santa Fe 6, 5 and 1 Reconquista Venado Tuerto) had virological confirmation for influenza A (H1N1), which clarified the death - health authorities, occurred between June 27 and yesterday.

The clarification comes as a result of that our province has its own laboratory in Rosario for the analysis of these patients died (in addition to those in critical condition, are considered priority groups for this assessment), which is continuously reporting the results .

This allows not having to rely on information that you send the Institute Malbrán and indicate the immediate treatment with antiviral (oseltamivir), for the inmates, or dispel doubts about the cause of death to the relatives of the deceased.

In this regard, the Secretary of Health, Debora Ferrandini, explained that "Santa Fe is applying a different process to other provinces. They depend on this centralization Malbrán and ended by producing a bottleneck. The delay in the results is so great that it is quite possible that doctors have ceased to apply, that the table when they easily can be explained by other causes. "

Instead he says, we're asking the province to all critical patient laboratory, who is hospitalized in the province in both public and private, which prioritized for admission to the laboratory. In fact, our ability to produce this information is greater if we compare the number of deaths that have occurred in Santa Fe with the number of people affected is not high, but it is expected the figures for the relationship between affected and deceased which generally has the flu.

However, he said "yes the number is high compared to what other provinces are documented at this time, but we have a backlog of three weeks. If we were strict comparison of our figures should take three weeks ago with the demise of the rest of the provinces, to be comparing the same historical moment, and then I think we had no deaths. We can do an analysis when time has elapsed, have overcome these bottlenecks and, most importantly, can be used as the denominator of the total population, which would give us an analysis of mortality, which is assessed in terms of a years.

Influenza-like illness

Other figures released by the health portfolio realize that 4354 cards were entered to the system of epidemiological surveillance, 696 lab-confirmed cases, and that the number of cases attributable to influenza-like illness (ETI) amounts to almost 23,500, while only 423 international matches influenza diagnostic or TSI.

On this point, the officer said that "we documented more than 23,500 queries per flu. The source of data that we manage to estimate the number of possible cases is the cumulative record of consultations, and not about people. The flu is becoming no more than one consultation per episode and per person. We believe that this bias is offset by the fact that there are effectors and doctors do not feed this information source in the province, which is why the figure of 23,500 may be underestimating the number of cases that have joined the province. "

He also explained that "the notices are much lower, just over 4,000, but the study of the cases we documented that many have been assisted without being notified. This has to do with recognition of the community movement of the virus and the lack of necessary laboratory analysis. "

Fewer outpatient visits

Finally, Ferrandini that "we can not talk about a model of disease progression, because we have no evidence. In the last week we are seeing a sharp decrease in outpatient visits, more than 50%, but remains an important critical bed occupancy in health services. But this is not a consideration in the number of admissions to hospital, have also declined in the last week. "

However, he clarified that "it is internments longer than we normally winters. This is a fact because they are happy young people who require critical care, but died immediately or within a short time. The majority of those admitted to critical care has been recovered but the recovery period is much longer.

Finally, he insisted that "the decline in out-patient and the influx of new cases is an encouraging trend in relation to the epidemic in our country but we can not make this statement because no one knows if it will sustain over time if it is directly related to social distancing (both in the classroom and the commitment it took the community to change their daily practices) that are installed days before that collects this trend.

After estimating that "we have every intention of July 27 that we can recover the normal school activity, but this could be defined without difficulty if you continue with this rate of decline of the epidemic." Ferrandini that "we could project is unlikely to end the epidemic in a few weeks," since "in the northern hemisphere, summer still in full cases, although the number decreases. Can probably be changes or mutations in the virus that is circulating worldwide, being attacked with antivirals, and this could help the virus to change to become more or less aggressive. None of this is evidence that allows us to say whether it will change or not. In this epidemic, we know its history and we are writing every day. "
