First recorded death from the flu this year in Santa Catarina
Young had not been vaccinated despite having the right to free immunization
Updated at 20:07


A 21 year-old is the first victim of influenza A this year in Santa Catarina. The Ministry of Health confirmed the death due to H1N1 in Cambori? on Saturday 12 - when it was completed the vaccination campaign against influenza in the state has immunized about 2.7 million people .

The boy was hospitalized with a framework which is serious, on June 9 in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Hospital Santa Ines in Balneario Camboriu, in the North Coast. He had not been vaccinated against influenza, despite being included among the groups entitled to free immunization by the Unified Health System (SUS). The exam results came out on Friday, June 11, the day after collection.

- His group was the second to be immunized, but according to relatives he did not - said Luis Antonio Silva, director of the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance of Santa Catarina (Dive).

According to Secretary of Health of the county, Jos? Roberto Sposito, the patient had traveled days before and had contracted the flu at another location, not yet confirmed. The Ministry of Health, however, says that there was no travel information in the patient record.

Monitoring

The Health Department will monitor all people who had contact with the young. As the spokesperson for the State Department, the young population was the only one who has not reached the goal of the vaccination campaign by the National Health System (SUS) in the city.

- It's the age group that has the highest risk of contamination to bars, nightclubs. But unfortunately, the population 20-29 years was the least if vaccinated in the city, with 70% of target. Not everyone is aware of the importance of the vaccine - Sp?sito regrets.

History

For now, we investigated about 480 suspected cases of influenza A, in Santa Catarina. Of these, two were confirmed. The one man of 34 years in Papanduva, Northern State and the man who died in Balneario Camboriu.

According to Silva, there is likely to be an immunization in Santa Catarina.

- We are just evaluating what we do in the cities, where many doses are left - notes.

The exception is for children who need to take the second dose. The minimum interval between vaccine and another one is 21 days.

Paran?

At least 12 people have died this year, victims of influenza A in Parana, according to latest statement released by Ministry of Health in early June. The cities of Londrina and Maringa lead the number of confirmed cases.

The proximity of the neighboring state is not enough to worry about the surveillance.

- It is true that we have virus circulating in the whole country. With people vaccinated here in Santa Catarina decreases their circulation. Certainly the number of cases will be lower than in 2009 (when 148 people died and 3500 were infected) - added Silva.

Case Ipiranga do Norte, whose patient died in 10 days,
serves as a warning to observe symptoms and immunize





Vaccines are still available units, including those outside the target groups of the campaign

CAROLINA HOLLAND
Report of

The first death from influenza A (H1N1) in the state this year in the district of Ipiranga do Norte (450 km from Cuiab?), serves as a warning to people who have not been vaccinated against the disease. Furthermore, symptoms of influenza should be sufficient reason to seek medical attention, as the campaign does not reach the entire population.

Despite the continuing immunization campaign in the 141 municipalities of Mato Grosso, the goal of immunization has not been reached in the groups of people with chronic diseases with less than 60 years, pregnant women, young people 20-29 years, those aged 30 and 39 years and children under five years old.

The trucker Sadi Jose Rodriguez, 47, the first victim of the H1N1 in 2010, began to feel the symptoms on June 7, but only sought medical attention on day 13. According to information from the Department of Health Ipiranga do Norte, the patient was taken to the Regional Hospital of Sorriso, where he received yet on the 13th. At the site, Robinson was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He died on June 17.

Still according to the Health Department, the truck had traveled to Bahia in the last month and on days 1 and June 2 attended a meeting of agriculture in Sorriso.

He returned the smile on day 4, to stay with his father in a hospital. The truck returned to Ipiranga the next day.

After the report finds that Robinson's death was caused by influenza A, the parents, wife and son's truck were vaccinated against the disease. There were no reports of other suspected cases in the county.

To date, the notification is 75 cases of H1N1 influenza in Mato Grosso, of which 38 cases were discharged, 36 cases are awaiting the result and one death was confirmed as influenza A.

CAPITAL - Until yesterday, in Cuiaba, was recorded immunization rates of 76% people and 24 suspected cases of influenza A are under investigation.

The Ministry of Health still has available 30 000 doses of vaccine in your inventory. In Cuiab?, the municipality aims to achieve 100% vaccination coverage. The goal of state immunization was achieved in groups of health workers, indigenous children younger than six months to two years and suffering from chronic diseases over 60 years.

The symptoms of avian influenza H1N1 and Common are similar, such as sudden fever, cough, headache, muscle aches, joint pain and rhinorrhea. The recommendation is to seek a doctor as these symptoms appear, as is done in cases of common cold.

The Ministry of Health recommends some basic hygiene are taken to help prevent the disease, such as washing hands frequently with soap and water, avoid touching eyes, mouth and nose after contact with surfaces, not sharing personal items and cover the mouth and nose with tissue when coughing or sneezing.
