На Украине неизвестный грипп убил 7 человек In Ukraine, an unknown flu has killed 7 people
27.10.2009 18:00 - Новости - Срочно 27.10.2009 18:00 - News - Urgent
Украинский город Тернополь охватила эпидемия неизвестного гриппа. Ukrainian city of Ternopol seized an unknown epidemic of influenza. 26 октрября от него умерло 7 человек. 26 oktryabrya of 7 people had died. Около 6000 горожан за неделю обратились к врачам с симптомами неизвестного заболевания. Информацию о летальных случаях на Тернопольщине подтвердил начальник главного управления здравоохранения Тернопольской облгосадминистрации Богдан Оныскив. About 6000 residents per week appealed to doctors with symptoms of an unknown disease. For information about the fatal cases in the Ternopil region confirmed the Head of the Ternopil Regional State Administration Health Bogdan Onyskiv.

Конкретные имена умерших, и все что с этим связанное Богдан Оныскив отказался разглашать, чтобы лишний раз не волновать людей, но сказал, что практически все умершие – молодые, физически здоровые люди, которые не имели проблем со здоровьем, сообщает льовский сайт www.zaxid.net (На сайте в русском варианте встречаются весьма забавные заголовки - «Львовский ветеринарный университет имеет нового ректора», «На грипп во Львове заболело 5,7 тыс. лиц», «От гриппа на Тернопольщине умерло 7 людей» - прим.ред). Specific names of the dead, and everything connected with that Bogdan Onyskiv refused to disclose to once again not to disturb people, but said that virtually all of the dead - young, physically healthy people who had no health problems reported lovsky site www.zaxid. net (the site in Russian variant found very funny titles - "Lviv veterinary university has a new rector," "On the influenza in Lviv ill 5,7 thousand persons", "From influenza to Ternopolschine 7 people died" - editorial note).

«Тип гриппа можно определить лишь за полторы недели, - говорит господин Онискив, – окончательные результаты должны прийти из Лондона". "Type of influenza can only be defined for one and a half weeks - says Mr. ONISKO - final results should come from London."

По его словам, тернопольские врачи уже проводят исследование, однако, нужны несколько дней, чтобы получить чистый вирус, а затем результаты будут проверять украинские и английские научные работники. According to him, Ternopil doctors already conducting a study, however, needed a few days to get clean virus, and then the results will be checked Ukrainian and British scientists. Лишь тогда можно будет что-то сказать о вирусе, с которым врачи имеют дело. Only then can we say something about the virus, which doctors are dealing with.

"Люди очень легкомысленно относятся к своему здоровью, – говорит заместитель главного государственного санитарного врача области Нинель Цяпа. – Прививки от гриппа делают очень редко, а к врачам обращаются лишь тогда, когда болеют гриппом несколько дней. "People are very careless attitude towards their health, - said the deputy chief state sanitary doctor of Ninel Tsyapa. - The flu shot is very rare, but doctors treated only when suffering from flu for several days.

All references to "SARS" below should read "acute respiratory infection" - that is the bug in Google's translator.

Б. Оныськив объяснил стремительное распространение гриппа именно в Тернополе тем, что в городе много эмигрантов, которые могли завезти вирус из-за границы. B. Onyskiv explain the rapid spread of influenza in Ternopil is the fact that in many emigrants, who could bring in the virus from abroad.

По мнению специалистов, причинами ранней заболеваемости людей гриппом и ОРВИ в области может быть также резкое похолодание и колебание низких температур за неделю до начала отопительного сезона. According to experts, the causes of early morbidity human influenza and SARS in the area may also be a sharp fall of temperature and vibration at low temperatures the week before the heating season.

In addition, the Ministry of Health centrally provided ternopoltsam almost 1800 blisters antiviral drug Tamiflu.

Тернопольские медики призвали жителей области при первых проявлениях заболевания обращаться к врачам, а также избегать участия в многолюдных мероприятиях. Manika doctors urged residents of the area under the first manifestations of the disease from seeking medical attention, and avoid involvement in the crowded events.

Influenza to inflict double blow on Ukraine
MIGnews.com.ua
Ministry of Health warns: flu epidemic in Ukraine may start early.

"We expect these outbreaks in the middle or late November. However, much will depend on the weather," - said the first deputy minister of Health, Chief Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine Oleksander Bilovol.

According to him, the epidemic is fixed in the Ternopil Region. Schools in Ternopil region and Chertkovsky district are closed for quarantine. Deputy chief sanitary doctor Lyudmila Muharska adds - this might be the beginning of the epidemic across the country. "Usually, the first outbreaks of influenza begin in the border areas, and then spread throughout Ukraine," - she explains.

The epidemic is declared in Drogobych (Lviv region) also. Moreover, local residents say that the three people have died of flu, Segodnya newspaper writes.

"Two students and vocational school student died last week and only after that quarantine was declared," - says a local resident Alena Dmitrieva. Local doctors assure that the death was due to pulmonary complications (but it is the major complications of influenza). "On Thursday, the Sanitary epidemiological station has made an order of quarantine in the schools, the issue of suspension of academic studies is being examined now", - said the chief doctor of Drohobych Sanitary epidemiological station Oksana Hryvnia. She also confirmed that many sellers in stores are already using flu masks, but assured that the drugstores are provided with all necessary in order to prevent the epidemic.

Immunologist Fedor Lapy agrees that influenza has come too early: "But in Spain and Portugal is now an epidemic of influenza and acute respiratory viral infection. The virus migrates, that is why it appeared so early in the Ukraine. In this connection, I do not rule out recurrence of the epidemic in the late winter”. A director of the Center of influenza Oleksander Hrynevich warns that, in addition to ordinary flu, swine flu will come to Ukraine closer to the New Year. He advises before leaving the house to lubricate the nasal mucosa with oxolinic ointment, to wash hands as soon as possible and rinse your nose with a soap solution.

See the above thread for information about why the word "SARS" is appearing in the above thread. The Russian word for SARS is not being used - the correct translation is "Acute respiratory viral infection".

Maybe the lab is not operational yet?

Will swine flu spare Ukraine? Not likely, experts say
October 01 at 21:21 | Kateryna Grushenko Ukraine has only had two confirmed cases of swine flu so far, but experts warn that flu cannot be stopped by national borders.

The H1N1 virus epidemic spreading across the globe. Having claimed more than 4, 200 lives already, the virus may be on its way to Ukraine. While Western experts say that Ukraine will be affected sooner or later, Ukrainian medical experts still hope the nation will be spared.

Health officials around the world are preparing responses to H1N1 virus, more commonly known as swine flu. The next wave of the virus is expected as soon as October, worsening through December and January. The virus might affect as much as 30 percent of the world’s population, whereas the common flu affects less than 10 percent.

The H1N1 virus, traced to Mexico, has breached European borders and reached pandemic level worldwide. Ukraine, so far, has been affected very little. Many also fear that Ukraine’s ailing healthcare system has simply failed to detect many cases.

“It’s not about if, it’s about when H1N1 comes to Ukraine,” said Daniel Hryhorczuk, professor of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences and Epidemiology at the University of Illinois School of Public Health in Chicago. “The virus is spreading in every other country in the world and just through air travel Ukraine will receive it,” he added.

Ukraine hasn’t gone entirely unscathed. Officials on Sept. 29 confirmed that a second individual hospitalized that month had contracted it.

The first case of H1N1 came in early June. The victim was a 24-year-old man who returned to Ukraine after two years in Detroit. He started feeling sick on his way home from the airport, went to the hospital and was preliminary diagnosed with H1NI. He was transferred to Kyiv Infectious Diseases Hospital No. 9, where he tested positive with H1N1. The diagnosis was later confirmed by a laboratory in London. The patient quickly recovered.

No more cases have been registered, although medical experts say probably more cases exist. Belarus has six cases. Russia registered 457 and Poland 165. But the numbers have been rising in recent weeks. In September, Russia recorded its first known death from the H1N1 flu.

Many Western countries stopped counting the cases because most people sick with flu-like symptoms were found to have contracted the H1N1 virus, which reached pandemic status quickly.

The hopes for a long-promised vaccine have dimmed as the World Health Organization released a statement that current supplies of a vaccine are “inadequate for a world population in which virtually everyone is susceptible to infection.”

Although Ukrainians are unhappy with visa restrictions and an economic crisis that have curtailed their travels abroad, staying home has turned out to be a benefit in avoiding this infectious virus.

“The reason why Ukraine has a lesser amount of cases is probably the smaller quantity of people travelling to the countries where H1N1 spiked,” said Philippe Guibert, medical director of health programs for International SOS. “When it comes to H1N1 epidemic, there is no geographic difference; just some Western health care systems are more prepared to handle the epidemics.”

Ukrainian First Deputy Health Minister Oleksander Bilovol is confident that his country is ready to combat H1N1. “We have 200,000 extra beds across Ukraine in storage to supply the infectious diseases hospitals if we see an inflow of patients. We also have some 60,247 packs of Tamiflu, the most effective viral medication recommended by the WHO, in stash and we are planning on acquiring 45,000 more packs,” he said.

Ukraine has set up a laboratory that can test for H1N1 virus and more test kits are planned to be purchased. Ukraine’s strategy is to contain the H1N1 virus and impede its spread among the population by surveillance in the airports and train stations.

According to Victor Marievsky, director of the state Gromashevsky Epidemic and Infectious Diseases University, the government’s doctors receive a list of people who have recently come back from the countries where the cases of H1N1 flu were registered. The doctors are instructed to keep an eye on the potential patients.

“Any person who tests positive for H1N1 will be isolated, treated and not allowed to travel within and out of the country,” Marievsky said.

The H1N1 virus is not usually deadly, but spreads quicker than usual flu because it’s a new virus against which people have not built immunity. According to the WHO, 2 percent of patients sick with H1N1 come to hospitals with complications. People with lung and heart conditions, diabetes, obesity, pregnant women, elderly and very young children are in the high-risk groups.

In the United States, where the number of cases has topped one million, surveillance of international travelers has been dropped as a strategy. Education of the population on how to avoid catching the virus and avoid spreading it has accelerated.

“Because influenza is so [easily] transmittable, it’s an uphill climb to prevent its spread through standard methodology,” said Boris Lushniak, an assistant surgeon general at the US Food and Drug Administration, who came to Ukraine in September for an H1N1 conference. “For Ukraine, it’s very important to make sure that they are finding the real number of the cases and identify the point when the strategy for combating the virus should be changed.”

Default Re: Ukraine: 7 die of "unknown form of flu" , most were "young and healthy"

Note the report of four more deaths (11 total). But H1N1 has apparently not been ruled in or out yet.

The virus kills young and strong
Украина Ukraine Среда, 28 Октябрь 2009 Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Эпидемия неизвестной болезни унесла уже минимум 11 жизней! The epidemic of unknown disease has claimed at least 11 lives! «БЛИК» первым написал о том, что в Тернопольской области от таинственного гриппа умерли 7 человек. Blick first wrote about that in the Ternopil region of the mysterious flu deaths of 7 persons. И вчера эту шокирующую информацию на всю страну огласил начальник главного And yesterday, this shocking information on the country announced the head of the main



управления здравоохранения облгосадминистрации Богдан Оныськив. Health Administration Governor Bogdan Onyskiv. «Это были молодые, физически крепкие люди, которые не имели проблем со здоровьем», – горько констатировал он. "They were young, physically fit people who had no health problems" - he stated bitterly. Ужасная болезнь распространяется за пределы области. Terrible disease spreads beyond the region. К вечеру вчерашнего дня стало известно, что на пороге эпидемии оказался Львов. By evening yesterday, it became known that the epidemic was on the verge of Lviv. Там порог заболеваемости составил уже 75%. There is a threshold disease was 75%. В области умерли 4 человека! In the area of 4 people are dead!

Слабость и высокая температура Weakness and fever

«БЛИКу» удалось узнать, что двое умерших от страшного гриппа были жителями Чортковского района Тернопольской области. Blick has learned that two of the dead from the terrible flu were residents Chortkiv Ternopil region. Вот что нам рассказал Ярослав Ратушняк, завотделом здравоохранения местной госадминистрации: That's what we told Jaroslav Ratushnyak, head of the department of health of the local state administrations:

– В Чортковском районе умерли двое мужчин (32 года и 42 года). - In Chortkiv area have died, two men (32 years and 42 years). Им поставили диагноз «внегоспитальная пневмония». They were diagnosed with vnegospitalnaya pneumonia. К сожалению, эти люди поздно обратились за медпомощью, и врачи не смогли их спасти. Unfortunately, these people later sought medical care, and doctors could not save them. Сложно диагностировать заболевание. It is difficult to diagnose the disease. Нет типичных клинических проявлений. There is no typical clinical manifestations. Просто люди чувствуют общую слабость, поднимается высокая температура. Just people feel a general weakness, high fever. Если человека прослушать, шумов нет. If people listen to, no noise. И только, когда отправляем их на рентген, хотя прямых показаний к тому и нет, становится понятно, что у человека пневмония. And only when we send them to the X-ray, although direct evidence to that and no, it is clear that a man pneumonia. Мы считаем, что это атипичное проявление обычного ОРВИ. We believe that this atypical manifestation of customary ARI. В нашем районе болеет очень много людей. In our area suffer from a lot of people. Только за прошлую неделю врача на дом вызывали 395 человек. Only last week the doctor at the house called 395 people. Ежедневно выдаем 25 – 30 больничных. Every day we issue 25 - 30 hospitals. А ведь в этом случае, если один в семье заболел, значит, скорее всего, переболеют все родственники. But in this case, if one family became ill, then most likely pereboleyut all the relatives. Чаще всего вызывают врачей к детям, взрослые надеются «переходить на ногах» и лечатся сами. The most common cause doctors to children and adults hope to "move on their feet" and treated themselves. А это смертельно опасно! And this is deadly dangerous! Поэтому мы оповещаем по максимуму население, чтобы не затягивали болезнь, а сразу шли к врачу. Therefore, we notify to the maximum population, to avoid prolonging the illness, and immediately went to the doctor.

Вирус не определен The virus is not defined

Страшные слова «свиной грипп» слышны по всему Тернополю. Scary word "swine flu" can be heard throughout the Ternopil. Люди в панике. People in a panic. Но медики продолжают упорно ставить диагноз ОРВИ. But doctors still hard to diagnose SARS. Вчера начальник главного управления здравоохранения облгосадминистрации Богдан Оныськив признал, что тип вируса до сих пор не определен. Yesterday, Head of State Administration of Health Bogdan Onyskiv acknowledged that the type of virus has not yet been determined. Но образцы отправили на анализ в Лондон – и это уже подтверждение тому, что самые страшные предположения сбываются! But the samples sent for analysis in London - and this is proof that the worst assumptions come true! Вирус могли завезти в Тернополь из-за границы заробитчане. Virus could drop off in Ternopil from abroad zarobitchane. Сделать все необходимые анализы, чтобы определить – свиной или обычный грипп убивает людей, можно и в Украине. Make all the necessary tests to determine - pork or plain influenza kills people, it is possible in Ukraine. Но только в одной лаборатории – в столичном Центре гриппа. But only in a laboratory - in the Moscow Center of influenza.

– Симптомы заболеваний в Тернополе и свиного гриппа за границей очень похожи. - Symptoms of diseases in Ternopol and swine influenza abroad are very similar. К тому же, у наших стран-соседей России, Польши и Румынии постоянно фиксируют случаи заболевания гриппа А(H1N1). Moreover, our neighboring countries of Russia, Poland and Romania permanently fix the cases of influenza A (H1N1). И поэтому я допускаю, что он мог проникнуть в Тернопольскую область, – сказала «БЛИКу» Алла Мироненко, завлабораторией гриппа НИИ эпидемиологии и инфекционных болезней. And so I admit that it could penetrate the Ternopil region, - said Blick Alla Mironenko, zavlaboratoriey Influenza Research Institute of Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases. – Окончательно установить, к какому виду принадлежит вирус, атаковавший Тернопольскую область, мы сможем через двое суток после получения образцов. - Finally determine what species belongs to the virus attacking the Ternopil region, we can in two days after the receipt of samples. Но мы их еще не получали. But we have not received them. Пока не будут готовы результаты анализов, я не смогу сказать, что это свиной грипп. Until test results are ready, I can not say that this swine flu. Хотя во Львове будут закрывать школы. While in Lviv will close the school.

В отличие от Тернополя во Львове официально эпидемия не объявлена. Unlike Ternopil Lviv epidemic has not officially declared. Но в некоторых больницах уже висят пугающие объявления. But in some hospitals already hung scary ads. И жители на грани паники. And the people on the verge of panic. Вчера от главного пульмонолога Львовской области стало известно, что в регионе уже умерли 4 человека. Yesterday the main pulmonologist in Lviv region became known that the region had already died 4 people. К гибели людей привела пневмония, возникшая на фоне осложнений после гриппа. For death caused pneumonia that occurred against the backdrop of complications from the flu. Анализы, взятые у погибших, отправили специалистам в Киев. Tests taken from the dead, were sent to experts in Kiev.

– Львов на пороге эпидемии, – подтвердил «БЛИКу» главный врач Львовского центра здоровья Юрий Островерха. - Lviv on the threshold of the epidemic - confirmed Blick chief medical officer of health Yuri Lvov center Ostroverh. – Уровень заболеваемости составил уже 75% при эпидемпороге 89,3%! - The prevalence rate was already 75% at epidemporoge 89,3%! Официально уже объявлена эпидемия во львовском городе Стрый. Officially been declared an epidemic in the city of Lvov Stry.

Неутешительная ситуация в городах – Борислав, Стебник и Трускавец. Disappointing situation in the cities - Borislav, Stebnik and Truskavets. Местные чиновники намерены продлить осенние каникулы в школах. Local officials intend to extend the autumn holidays in schools. Вероятней всего, на карантин закроют и школы Львова. Is most likely on quarantine and closed schools in Lviv.

Default Re: Ukraine: 7 die of "unknown form of flu" , most were "young and healthy"

Pregnant women died and an increase to 20 deaths.

Shock! Pestilence expected in Ukraine? 20 people died of influenza already (updated at 01:56 pm)

MIGnews.com.ua
Flu epidemic in the Ternopil Region, which appeared a week ago, mowed down nearly 10,000 of residents. Moreover - unknown virus has already killed seven people. Two residents of the regional center and five villagers (among them was a woman who recently gave birth to a child) died from pneumonia caused by catarrhal infection. Another four people have been in the grace condition in hospitals of Ternopil.

As the head of public health city department Vasyl Blykhar reported, all victims of infection were young people who previously had no problems with health. Supposedly they sought help too late, on the sixth or seven day. Quarantine is declared in the region, schools are closed. They say infection is coming to the neighboring areas of Western Ukraine. In the Lviv Region a few districts are preparing for quarantine, particularly, Drohobych and Boryslav districts.

As a resident of Ternopil Olexandra Melys toldh, a lot of people wearing flu masks have appeared in the city. Ternopil residents are buying garlic, onion and vodka for prophylaxis. There are queues for pills and drops from a cold, there is lack of the most popular drugs, "- says a pensioner Lyudmila. - They say that in fact 16 people have already died”.

Local residents fear swine flu mows down them. Doctors reassure: laboratory studies at the local level do not confirm that it is swine flu. "We will be able to confirm the type of influenza in 1,5 week, when research results will be received from London", - says Bohdan Onyskiv, the head of the regional health administration department. One reason for large-scale disease might be sudden cold snap, when a week ago Halychyna was covered with snow and frost. According to another version, wage earners, who brought the virus from abroad, are guilty of it.

The doctors do not rule out that the death of residents occurred precisely because of influenza. But only virology examination may confirm information about it. It will be made in Kyiv within 7-14 days. But the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health protection Tatiana Bakhteyeva said that the Ukrainian examination is not a guarantee: "Our labs have a weak foundation for such research and nobody can guarantee the results will be correct."

Experts say that officials of the Ministry of Health can keep silent about the situation in order not to sow panic. "We can not rule out that people could die from swine flu”, says Professor of Immunology Fedor Lapy. According to him, 7 deaths in the region for a week is too much.

"The United States has declared a pandemic of swine flu, a thousand of people have already died. It is in the United States, where there is a vaccine, but we will have just plague", - adds the first deputy head of the Committee on Health Vyacheslav Peredery.

01:56 p.m. Information about the death of four people as a result of complications of influenza has come also from the Drohobych district, Lviv Region. As the head of the Health protection Department of Drohobych city executive committee Andriy Shevkenych, this is due, first of all, with ill-timed treatment in a medical institution, late hospitalization and self-treatment. "Only during the previous day the ambulance received over 50 calls related to the symptoms of influenza. As a result, 11 people were hospitalized," - said Andriy Shevkenych.

Also, according to Andriy Shevkenych, a headquarters under the leadership of the Deputy Chairman of Drohobych, chairman of Staff has been founded for struggle against virus. Hr 100,000 have been allocated for struggle against flu. Quarantine is declared in schools and kindergartens quarantined. Additional seats are assigned in children's hospitals of Drohobych Stebnyk.

"In my opinion, this is the peak. We will hope for decrease in number of cases in a week", - said Andriy Shevkenych.

The Ministry of Health reported that a commission has been founded involving experts from ministries and scientists from the Academy of Medical Sciences in order to study the causes of increasing influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in the Ternopil Region.

Default Re: Ukraine: 7 die of "unknown form of flu" , most were "young and healthy"

Now the question is if this is a more severe variant that is being seen here i.e mutated or if it is the same (more or less) as that circulating elsewhere.

версія для друку

Міністерство охорони здоров’я закликає громадян при перших ознаках застуди звертатися за кваліфікованою медичною допомогою. Про це повідомив Міністр охорони здоров’я Василь Князевич сьогодні на брифінгу.
Василь Князевич зауважив, в Тернопільській області що вперше за останні 20 років спостерігається такі масові захворювання на гострі респіраторні інфекції (ГРІ).

Міністр повідомив, що станом на сьогодні в області померло 9 осіб з діагнозом пневмонія; 95 осіб госпіталізовано, стан 25-и з них оцінюється як важкий, і хворі знаходяться на керованому диханні (17 дорослих і 9 дітей) з попереднім діагнозом вірусна пневмонія.

У той же час, за словами Василя Князевича, захворювання «каліфорнійським грипом» А(H1N1) не підтверджується.

Керівник відомства додав, що на сьогодні Міністерство разом з НАН України встановлюють остаточну причину захворювання.

За словами Міністра, на даний момент в Тернопільській області працює група науковців з Центру грипу, Інституту інфекційних захворювань ім. Л.В.Громашевського, Санітарно-епідеміологічної служби Києва. Міністр зауважив, що з понеділка це питання знаходиться під особистим контролем головного санітарного лікаря країни.

Василь Князевич додав, що поріг захворювання починає підніматися і в інших західних областях країни – Івано-Франківській, Львівській.
«Ми взяли ситуацію під контроль. Найголовніше, звертаюся до всіх: почуваєте себе хворим – зверніться до лікаря. Найголовніше – своєчасно виявити і надати допомогу», - наголосив Василь Князевич та додав, що для цього є усі необхідні ресурси. За словами Міністра, трагічні випадки в Тернопільській області здебільшого спричинені саме несвоєчасним зверненням хворих до лікарів.

. Not announced in the region and the state of emergency. However, some problems are.

In the editorial of "20 Minutes" in doobidnyu time were several dozen appeals. People claimed to have heard more about that in the region have entered a state of emergency. In addition, ternopolyany note that out of the city either by bus or train - is impossible.

Reporters reviewed the information. As it turned out, now these rumors. However, some problems are.

For example, since the four universities TDMU, TSTU, TNPU and TNEU (the latter two schools stopped teaching today) announced quarantine, and required to leave the dormitory students - long-distance transport lines are overloaded.

- No restrictions or prohibitions not - says the passenger transport sector Ternopil branch of Lviv railway Natalia Suprun. - The problem is that the mass of students now want to go home with the tickets a little problem.

The same information provided in the city and bus station. They said that if needed, we will further transport.

Regarding the state of emergency, it is not announced or regional or urban management of emergencies.

Default Re: Ukraine: 9 die of swine flu - confirmation not clear - most were "young and healthy"

And a ProMed Russian post that says that H1N1 has still not yet been confirmed. But if it isn't H1N1, there really isn't any other option.

Also, the 10,000 cases were just in Ternopil, where there were 7 deaths. The total number of cases overall (counting Lvov and other regions) out of which 20 died, is likely several times that number, so the CFR would be much less than the 0.2% reported so far.

Default Re: Ukraine: 9 die of swine flu - confirmation not clear - most were "young and healthy"

I still think this has to be H1N1, but here is a denial. This one seems to think there is some other virus with 95 cases and nine deaths (which would not be influenza at all, likely). We must watch this closely...

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/index.php?id=148&listid=103151

28-10-2009 16:05 Virus H1N1 not to blame for fatal cases in western Ukraine
Health Minister Vasyl Kniazevych says that express diagnostics has not found that H1N1 virus has caused death of nine people who died of pneumonia in Ternopil region.

In his words, a total of 95 people have been rushed to hospital with pneumonia, including 25 in a serious condition. The number of virus infection cases is rapidly increasing in other western regions of Ukraine, too, particularly in Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv. The minister noted that the main objective is to identify the virus causing the disease, which is expected to take several weeks.

This article has been updated. This source believes there is a compound outbreak of seasonal flu (10,000+ cases), and an unknown virus (nine deaths).

The reason for denying H1N1 as the cause seems to be the lack of travel history, but that is irrelevant by now.

http://mignews.com.ua/en/categ189/articles/376222.html

Shock! Pestilence expected in Ukraine? 20 people died of influenza already (updated at 05:03 pm)
MIGnews.com.ua
Flu epidemic in the Ternopil Region, which appeared a week ago, mowed down nearly 10,000 of residents. Moreover - unknown virus has already killed seven people. Two residents of the regional center and five villagers (among them was a woman who recently gave birth to a child) died from pneumonia caused by catarrhal infection. Another four people have been in the grace condition in hospitals of Ternopil.

As the head of public health city department Vasyl Blykhar reported, all victims of infection were young people who previously had no problems with health. Supposedly they sought help too late, on the sixth or seven day. Quarantine is declared in the region, schools are closed. They say infection is coming to the neighboring areas of Western Ukraine. In the Lviv Region a few districts are preparing for quarantine, particularly, Drohobych and Boryslav districts.

As a resident of Ternopil Olexandra Melys toldh, a lot of people wearing flu masks have appeared in the city. Ternopil residents are buying garlic, onion and vodka for prophylaxis. There are queues for pills and drops from a cold, there is lack of the most popular drugs, "- says a pensioner Lyudmila. - They say that in fact 16 people have already died”.

Local residents fear swine flu mows down them. Doctors reassure: laboratory studies at the local level do not confirm that it is swine flu. "We will be able to confirm the type of influenza in 1,5 week, when research results will be received from London", - says Bohdan Onyskiv, the head of the regional health administration department. One reason for large-scale disease might be sudden cold snap, when a week ago Halychyna was covered with snow and frost. According to another version, wage earners, who brought the virus from abroad, are guilty of it.

The doctors do not rule out that the death of residents occurred precisely because of influenza. But only virology examination may confirm information about it. It will be made in Kyiv within 7-14 days. But the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health protection Tatiana Bakhteyeva said that the Ukrainian examination is not a guarantee: "Our labs have a weak foundation for such research and nobody can guarantee the results will be correct."

Experts say that officials of the Ministry of Health can keep silent about the situation in order not to sow panic. "We can not rule out that people could die from swine flu”, says Professor of Immunology Fedor Lapy. According to him, 7 deaths in the region for a week is too much.

"The United States has declared a pandemic of swine flu, a thousand of people have already died. It is in the United States, where there is a vaccine, but we will have just plague", - adds the first deputy head of the Committee on Health Vyacheslav Peredery.

01:56 p.m. Information about the death of four people as a result of complications of influenza has come also from the Drohobych district, Lviv Region. As the head of the Health protection Department of Drohobych city executive committee Andriy Shevkenych, this is due, first of all, with ill-timed treatment in a medical institution, late hospitalization and self-treatment. "Only during the previous day the ambulance received over 50 calls related to the symptoms of influenza. As a result, 11 people were hospitalized," - said Andriy Shevkenych.

Also, according to Andriy Shevkenych, a headquarters under the leadership of the Deputy Chairman of Drohobych, chairman of Staff has been founded for struggle against virus. Hr 100,000 have been allocated for struggle against flu. Quarantine is declared in schools and kindergartens quarantined. Additional seats are assigned in children's hospitals of Drohobych Stebnyk.

"In my opinion, this is the peak. We will hope for decrease in number of cases in a week", - said Andriy Shevkenych.

The Ministry of Health reported that a commission has been founded involving experts from ministries and scientists from the Academy of Medical Sciences in order to study the causes of increasing influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in the Ternopil Region.

05:03 p.m. Chairman of the Ternopil Regional State Administration Yuri Chyzhmar signed a decree on October 28 to allocate from the reserve Hr 50,000 funds of the regional budget for the purchase of tools for diagnosis influenza and acute respiratory viral infections.

In general population of Ternopil and southern regions of the region, in particular Chertkovsky, Terebovlya, Husyatinsky, Borshchevsky, are ill. Patients who died had not visited countries affected by A (H1N1) "California" flu and lived in various parts of the region.

Despite the fact that unknown virus is raging in Western Ukraine, which is killing people, the Health Minister Vasyl Kniazevych says everything is under control. He said today at a press briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine that in connection with epidemic of acute respiratory infections in the Ternopil Region the Ministry of Health created a special headquarters.

Default Re: Ukraine: 9 die of swine flu - confirmation not clear - most were "young and healthy"

And a new article fresh off the presses. This one contains several errors (Horse flu and Hendra are two different viruses, for example), but seems to indicate that H1N1 is possible, but not confirmed.

http://www.glavred.info/archive/2009.../181003-0.html

Unknown virus kills the Ukrainians?
Юлия Бойко, для «Главреда», 28.10.09 // 18:10 Julia Boyko, for "Glavred", 28.10.09 / / 18:10
В Украине паника: во Львовской и Тернопольской областях от неизвестного штамма вируса гриппа умирают физически крепкие, ранее не имевшие проблем со здоровьем, люди. Ukraine panic: in Lviv and Ternopil regions of an unknown strain of influenza virus die physically strong, had no previous health problems, people.
Врачи в один голос заявляют: смерти не связаны со свиным гриппом. Doctors in one voice say: death is not related to swine influenza.


Люди в белых халатах объясняют все осложнениями и высокой токсичностью нового вируса гриппа, продолжая ставить диагноз ОРВИ. People in white coats explain all the complications and the high toxicity of a new influenza virus, while continuing to diagnose SARS. Для выяснения ситуации в Тернополь уже направлена комиссия Минздрава. To clarify the situation in Ternopil Commission has directed the Ministry of Health.


Преждевременная эпидемия Premature epidemic


По прогнозам Министерства здравоохранения Украины эпидемия гриппа должна была начаться в середине-конце ноября. According to the forecasts of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine flu epidemic was due to begin in mid-late November. Так говорил первый замминистра здравоохранения, главный санитарный врач Украины Александр Биловол. So said the first deputy minister of Health, Chief Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine Alexander Bilovol. По мнению специалистов, основные причины такого раннего визита гриппа в Украину – погодные условия и, уже успевшая разыграться в Европе, эпидемия. According to experts, the main reasons for early influenza visit to Ukraine - the weather conditions and have had time to play in Europe, the epidemic.


Пока же, согласно последним данным Украинского центра гриппа и острых респираторных инфекций, на 43-й неделе года, во всех десяти контрольных городах показатели заболевания гриппом находятся на неэпидемиологичном уровне. Meanwhile, according to the latest figures of the Ukrainian Center of influenza and acute respiratory infections, the 43 th week of the year, in all ten cities of the control rates of influenza are neepidemiologichnom level. Кажется, что при подведении грипповых итогов статисты не учли нынешнюю ситуацию во Львове и Тернополе. It seems that in summing up the results grippovyh extras do not take into account the current situation in Lviv and Ternopil. Сейчас показатели заболеваемости там превысили десять тысяч человек. Now morbidity there exceeded ten thousand people. Зафиксированы так же смертельные случаи. Recorded as deaths.


По предварительным данным, в Тернопольской области от неизвестного штамма гриппа умерло семь человек. According to preliminary data, in the Ternopil region from an unknown strain of influenza deaths of seven people. Люди сгорели буквально за несколько дней: температура и недомогание сменялись пневмонией, которая и стала причиной смерти. People were burned in just a few days: fever and malaise were followed by pneumonia, and has become the cause of death. Чтобы узнать истинную причину летальных исходов, украинские медики обратились в лабораторию Лондона. To find the true cause of deaths, Ukrainian doctors turned to a laboratory in London. Ту самую, где до этого были подтверждены два случая свиного гриппа в Украине. The same one which had previously been confirmed two cases of swine flu in Ukraine. По словам Богдана Оныськива, начальника главного управления здравоохранения Тернопольской облгосадминистрации, результаты огласят только через полторы недели. According to Bogdan Onyskiva, Chief of Health Ternopil Regional State Administration, will announce the results only through a half weeks. От более детальных комментариев специалист отказывается. From the more detailed comments Specialist refuses.


Так же были зафиксированы три смертельных случая в Дрогобиче Львовской области. Also recorded were three fatal cases in Drogobich Lviv region. Но и там главврач СЭС города Дрогобич Оксана Гривня официально опровергает информацию о том, что причиной смерти оказался грипп. But even there, the chief doctor of the city of SES Drohobycz Oksana Hryvnia formally denies the information about the cause of death was influenza. «В Дрогобиче умер лишь один человек – одиннадцатилетний ребенок, остальные два – в области, – говорит специалист. "In Drogobich died only one person - a child of eleven, the other two - in the area - the specialist said. – Причиной стало осложнение пневмонии». - The cause was complications of pneumonia.


Не миновал грипп и Ивано-Франковскую область. Not passed the flu and Ivano-Frankivsk region. По словам завглавврача центральной клинической больницы Ивано-Франковска Александра Мудрого, с пятнадцатого октября в городе наблюдается резкое повышение заболеваемости на ОРВИ. According zavglavvracha Central Clinical Hospital Ivano-Frankivsk Alexander Wise, the fifteenth of October in the city have seen a dramatic increase in the incidence of ARI. Было зарегистрировано 3207 случаев против 1024 за предыдущую неделю. 3207 cases were registered against 1,024 for the previous week. 60% больных – дети. 60% of patients - children.


Сложности добавляют и симптомы новой болезни. Complexities are added and the symptoms of a new disease. Врачи говорят, что это вполне может быть обычное ОРВИ, но атипичного проявления, поскольку при прослушивании нет шумов в легких. Doctors say it may well be normal SARS, but atypical manifestations, as when listening to no noise in the lungs. Люди чувствуют обычную при ОРВИ общую слабость, повышение температуры. People feel normal when SARS general weakness, fever. И только благодаря рентгеновскому снимку, становится ясно, что это пневмония. And only through x-rays, it becomes clear that it was pneumonia. Сегодня министр здравоохранения Василий Князевич заявил: «Люди в Тернополе болеют вирусной пневмонией. Today, Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevich said: "People are sick in Ternopil viral pneumonia. Экспресс-диагностика на предмет заболевания калифорнийским гриппом A/H1N1, не подтверждается». Express-diagnostics for diseases of California influenza A/H1N1, is not confirmed.


Точные данные заболеваемости в Тернополе и области пока отсутствуют. Precise data illness in Ternopil region, and not yet available. Официальные источники конкретную информацию пока дать отказываются, поскольку ситуация меняется с каждым днем. Official sources of specific information yet refuse to give, because the situation is changing every day.


Сами жители города Тернополь, связывают вспышку гриппа с... Themselves residents of the city of Ternopil, associated with the outbreak of influenza ... мусором, который длительное время не убирался с улиц города, пока в нем не начали появляться паразиты. debris, which for a long time not cleaning the streets of the city, yet it did not began to appear parasites. Тернопольчане в панике и из-за неизвестности болезни, и бессилия обычных жаропонижающих и противовирусных препаратов. Ternopolchane in panic and because of the unknown disease, and impotence of conventional antipyretic and antiviral drugs. Не на много лучше обстоят дела и в Дрогобиче: в рентгенкабинеты стоят огромные очереди, чтобы пройти диагностику. Not much better things in Drogobich: rentgenkabinety stand in long queues to pass diagnostics. Больные даже едут во Львов. Patients even go to Lvov.


Известно, что в Тернополь была направлена министерская комиссия, основной задачей которой является расследование смертельных случаев. It is known that in Ternopil was sent to the ministerial committee whose main task is to investigate the deaths. Официальный сайт горадминистрации Тернополя, опубликовал мнение специалистов касательно проблемы ранней эпидемии гриппа в городе. Official site of city administration Ternopil, published opinions of experts on the problem of early influenza epidemic in the city. Причинами заболевания людей гриппом и ОРВИ может быть резкое похолодание и колебание температур за неделю до начала отопительного сезона, а, также то, что за последние пять-семь лет в области не регистрировалась эпидемия ОРВИ. The causes of human cases of avian influenza and [ARVI] may be a sharp fall of temperature and temperature fluctuations over a week before the start of the heating season, but also the fact that over the past five to seven years in the field were not recorded epidemic of [ARVI]. Появляются новые штаммы вируса, от которого население не имеет иммунологической защиты. There are new strains of the virus from which the population has no immunological protection. А вот информация о свином гриппе пока опровергается, хотя, Алла Мироненко, завлабораторией гриппа НИИ эпидемиологии и инфекционных болезней, определила But information on swine influenza until disproved, though, Alla Mironenko, zavlaboratoriey Influenza Research Institute of Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases, identified симптомы заболевания в Тернополе и свиного гриппа как схожие. symptoms in Ternopil and swine influenza as similar.


Руководитель Киевского центра клинической иммунологии Олег Назар ситуацию со смертельными случаями в Тернополе прокомментировал следующим образом: «Говорить о свином гриппе рано, ведь еще неизвестны результаты лабораторных исследований. Head of the Kiev Center of Clinical Immunology Oleg Nazarov situation with deadly incidents in Ternopil commented as follows: "To speak of swine influenza early, because as yet unknown results of laboratory studies. Вообще же медики называют три причины летальных исходов жителей Тернополя. Generally, doctors called the three causes of deaths residents Ternopil. Первая – обострение всех хронических болезней. The first - all the aggravation of chronic diseases. Вторая – высокая токсичность гриппа. Second - the high toxicity of influenza. И, наконец, третья – осложнения после заболевания, когда вирус гриппа поражает сердечную мышцу и формируется миокардит». And, finally, the third - the complications of the disease, when the influenza virus infects the heart muscle and is formed myocarditis.


Ситуация осложняется еще и состоянием лабораторных исследований в Украине. The situation is further complicated by the state laboratory in Ukraine. Дело в том, что наши лаборатории не оснащены всем необходимым для достоверных исследований, поэтому валидность результатов можно подвергать большому сомнению. The fact that our laboratories are not equipped to reliable studies, so the validity of the results can be subjected to a great question.

Свиной ли грипп? Pork whether influenza?


К счастью, Украину миновали масштабы больных свиным гриппом соседей. Fortunately, Ukraine passed the extent of sick swine influenza neighbors. Но радоваться пока рано, по словам директора Украинского центра гриппа Александра Гриневича , сегодня в Украине официально зафиксировано лишь два случая этого заболевания: «Но, кроме «Брисбена» (два подтипа группы А и один - группы В) ближе к концу года ожидается появление и свиного гриппа». But it is too early to rejoice, according to the director of the Ukrainian Center of influenza Grinevich Alexander, now in Ukraine officially recorded only two cases of the disease: "But, except for" Brisbane "(two subtypes of group A and one - group B) closer to the end of the year are expected to appear and swine flu.


Но украинская граница не может быть на замке. But the Ukrainian border can not be locked. Поэтому во всех аэропортах государства усилена санитарная безопасность, оборудованы изоляторы, проводятся инструктажи, как вести себя членам экипажа, если в самолете окажется пассажир с симптомами инфицирования свиным гриппом. Therefore all airports in the state strengthened sanitary safety, equipped with insulators, instruct how to conduct themselves as members of the crew if the plane would be a passenger with symptoms of infection with swine influenza.


Говорят у нас и об усовершенствовании лабораторий. Say we have and on the improvement of laboratories. По словам Олега Назара, недавно велись разговоры о том, что из бюджета было выделено пять миллионов гривень на их оснащение. According to Oleg Nazarov, recently there has been talk that the budget has been allocated five million UAH on their equipment. Но пока это только разговоры. But while it is only talk. Вообще, в каждом регионе должна быть больница или центр, который могла бы заниматься вопросами свиного гриппа, а, также, иметь в наличии профилактические препараты. Generally, each region should be a hospital or center, which could deal with the swine flu, and also, the availability of preventive drugs. При подозрении на свиной грипп, больной должен быть доставлен в подобный центр, где медики и вынесли б вердикт. If you suspect that the swine flu, the patient must be transported in such a center, where doctors and used the verdict rendered. Каждый врач должен чётко понимать, в каких случаях брать пробы на A/H1N1 и куда их направлять. Each physician should clearly understand in what cases to take samples for A/H1N1 and where they send.


Симптомы свиного гриппа The symptoms of swine flu и гриппа классического схожи, за исключением одного: у заболевших свиным гриппом фиксируются проблемы с желудком, тошнота и диарея. and classical influenza are similar, with one exception: the sick swine influenza fixed stomach problems, nausea and diarrhea. У людей здоровых, с нормальным иммунитетом, заболевание протекает легко. In healthy people with normal immunity, the disease is mild. У группы риска - людей с иммунодефицитом, диабетом, астмой, ожирением, а также тех, кто плохо питается или имеет сопутствующие заболевания, свиной грипп проявится в более тяжелой форме и может привести к летальному исходу. At risk groups - people with immune deficiency, diabetes, asthma, obesity, and those who are malnourished or have a concomitant disease, swine flu will manifest itself in more severe and can lead to death. К группе риска стоит относить беременных женщин. The group is worth the risk include pregnant women. У них вирус свиного гриппа поражает нижние отделы дыхательного тракта и как одно из осложнений, вызывает пневмонии. They swine flu infects the lower respiratory tract, and as one of the complications, is pneumonia.


Осложнения – прогнозируемы Complications - Projected


В условиях «тернопольской паники», люди забыли, что вследствие заболевания гриппом могут возникнуть опасные осложнения. Under "Ternopil panic, people forget that, because of the flu can cause dangerous complications. Поэтому, легкомыслие по отношению к своему здоровью можно определить как еще одну причину распространения любого вируса гриппа. Therefore, levity to their health can be defined as another reason for the spread of any influenza virus. Если в семье заболевает кто-то один, значит, в скором времени, переболеют и все родственники. If the family gets sick some one, it means that soon, pereboleyut and all the relatives. Чаще всего, вызывают врачей к детям, взрослые стараются переболеть «на ногах», что само по себе смертельно опасно. The most common cause doctors to children, adults trying perebolet "legs", which in itself is deadly. Также, не секрет, что некоторые участковые терапевты сознательно диагностируют простуду, даже если есть типичные признаки гриппа (резкое повышение температуры, сильная интоксикация (тошнота, рвота), значительная ломота в мышцах). Also, it is no secret that some precinct therapists consciously diagnosed colds, even if there are typical signs of flu (sudden onset of fever, severe intoxication (nausea, vomiting), a considerable pains in muscles). В результате люди с диагнозом ОРВИ лечатся дома по старинке и не пытаются установить тип возбудителя заболевания. As a result, people diagnosed with [ARVI] treated at home the old-fashioned and do not try to establish the type of causative agent.


Специалисты настоятельно рекомендуют обращаться к врачам при первых же признаках заболевания. Experts strongly recommend seeking medical attention at the first sign of disease. Чтобы уберечься от заболевания, перед выходом из дома смазывать слизистую носа оксолиновой мазью, как можно чаще мыть руки и промывать нос мыльным раствором. To guard against the disease, before leaving the house to lubricate the nasal mucosa oxolinic ointment as often as possible to wash hands and rinse your nose with a soap solution. Можно также сделать прививку, правда, пока только от обычного гриппа (цена – 130-150 гривень). You can also make a vaccine, so far only from the usual flu (price - 130-150 UAH).


«Чем быстрее установлен диагноз, чем раньше начато лечение, тем больше шансов избежать осложнений, – говорит иммунолог Олег Назар. "The sooner diagnosed, the sooner treatment is started, the more chance of avoiding complications - says immunologist Oleg Nazarov. – При гриппе они вообще тяжелые. - With flu they generally heavy. А вирус А/H1N1 без лечения чаще всего приводит к воспалению легких. A A/H1N1 virus without treatment most often leads to inflammation of the lungs.

В Киеве специализированную помощь для таких больных должна оказывать больница №9. In Kiev, specialized care for such patients should have a hospital № 9. Здесь выделены палаты для профильной госпитализации, разработан алгоритм быстрой помощи. It marked the Chamber for profiling hospital, developed an algorithm for fast assistance. Доставить сюда больного может «скорая помощь» или же направлять терапевт. Deliver a patient here may ambulance or send a therapist. Чтобы сократить время, сразу же проверят, грипп ли у пациента вообще. To reduce the time, immediately check, whether the patient has influenza in general. Если да, начнут общее противогриппозное лечение. If yes, will the general treatment of influenza. А параллельно будут выяснять – какой именно у больного штамм вируса». A parallel would be to find out - what is the patient's strain.


Что касается вакцины от пандемического гриппа, то таковой в Украине пока нет. As a vaccine against pandemic influenza, it shall then be in Ukraine yet. Но ею обещают обеспечить к началу волны заболеваемости, которую, напомним, эпидемиологи прогнозируют на конец ноября. But its promise to provide to the beginning of a wave of morbidity, which, recall, epidemiologists predict the end of November. Сейчас несколько разновидностей препарата проходят клинические испытания и регистрационные формальности. There are several varieties of the drug in clinical trials and registration formalities.




А чтобы никто не расслаблялся, европейские ученые напоминают, что вирус гриппа мутирует постоянно. And to no one relaxed, European scientists remind us that the flu virus mutates constantly. И поэтому надо быть готовыми, что уже скоро может появиться сравнительно новый штамм гриппа – конный, который уже успел получить официальное название – «Хендра». And therefore we must be ready that soon may receive a relatively new strain of flu - Equestrian, who has already managed to get an official name - "Hendra".

Default Re: Ukraine: 9 die of swine flu - confirmation not clear - most were "young and healthy"

Medical officials from Ternopol reject the connection between the garbage problem and the epidemic of influenza
ТЕРНОПОЛЬ, 28 октября. Ternopil, October 28. /Олег Снитовский - УКРИНФОРМ/. / Oleg Snitovsky - Ukrinform /. Длительная проблема со своевременным вывозом мусора и нынешней эпидемией гриппа в Тернополе не взаимосвязаны. Long-term problem with the timely removal of debris and the current epidemic of influenza in Ternopil not linked. По крайней мере так утверждалось на очередном заседании городской чрезвычайной противоэпидемической комиссии, сообщает со ссылкой на пресс-службу горсовета корреспондент УКРИНФОРМа, . At least so claimed the regular meeting of the city emergency anti-epidemic commission, reports quoting the press service of the City Council Corresponding Ukrinform,.

По информации главного государственного санитарного врача Тернополя Владимира Паничева, уровень заболеваемости ОРВИ и гриппоподобными заболеваниями в городе несколько стабилизировался. According to the chief state sanitary doctor of Ternopil Vladimir Panicheva, the incidence of [ARVI] and influenza-like illness in the city have stabilized somewhat. В структуре больных наблюдается уменьшение количества детей. In the structure of patients observed decrease in the number of children. По словам начальника управления здравоохранения городского совета Василия Блихаря, в Тернополе было два летальных случая, связанных с осложнением острых вирусных инфекций пневмонией. According to the head of the health city council Basil Bliharya, in Ternopil, there were two fatal cases associated with complications of acute viral infections with pneumonia.

Медицинские чиновники подчеркнули, что никакой связи между эпидемией гриппа и сложной ситуацией, возникшей летом этого года в связи с невозможностью вывоза мусора из Тернополя, нет. Health officials stressed that no link between the flu epidemic and the difficult situation that arose this summer in connection with the impossibility of removal of debris from Ternopol, no. Хотя в городе, который ни один месяц живет среди испарений бытового мусора возле многоквартирных домов, жители все чаще жалуются на свой иммунитет, ослабленный вредным влиянием отходов. While in town, which no one month living among the fumes of household rubbish near the apartment buildings, residents are increasingly complaining about your immune system, weakened by the harmful effects of waste.

Default Re: Ukraine: 9 die of swine flu - confirmation not clear - most were "young and healthy"

We'll have to wait for samples from London (although with 10,000 ill, and with some of the deaths almost a month ago, it is not clear whose samples have been sent).

The compound outbreak theory proposed in a couple of the above articles does not hold water: If there is 10,000 cases of flu, and 99% of the flu in Europe is H1N1, then that flu is most likely H1N1. That many seasonal flu cases would be impossible by now. There would be no need to propose a second agent. Also of note is that the hospitalizations and deaths are scattered. In a compound outbreak, the severe cases and deaths would cluster, but here the deaths are scattered across Western Ukraine. I can confidently rule out a compound outbreak.
