50-year-old Bob Lindborg died of swine flu early on Sunday morning at University Hospital in Lund.

His case became known when Sydnytt noted that he repeatedly refused treatment and was sent home from the emergency room, even though he was seriously ill.

When he finally got access to care, he was in such poor condition that he had nurtured with the artificial lung.

Sydnytt met Bob's brother's wife Annette Johannesson few hours after death bid.

- First, it is sad, of course. But also frustrated - and angry, that it may be this. My sister did exactly everything that care asks us to do, "says Annette.

- She called medical enlightenment, she went to the clinic, she went in with Bob in the emergency room - she did everything according to the rule book. Bob belonged not even a risk group - he would have fared if care taken that seriously in time.

Personally, Annette to the most serious compromise was made in the emergency room in Malmo.

- Bob had over 40-degree fever for five days. He was livid in the face and could not even say his name, yet they strove not to let him see a doctor before he was sent home, "says Annette Johannesson.

Region Sk?ne changed its position after the attention of Bob Lindberg.

Persons with suspected swine influenza and obvious symptoms such as high heart rate, respiratory problems, may no longer be sent home from care without having been examined by a doctor.

Both the emergency room in Malm? SOS Alarm and Husie medical center examines why Bob Lindborg not immediately received treatment.

- We are not satisfied with the ongoing investigations, but intends to proceed, "says Annette Johannesson. And adds:

- A practice certainly does not lead anywhere, the little man can seldom right. But we will still fight for a vindication for my sister, she is the one who must live with this the rest of his life.

Åttonde dödsfallet i svininfluensa


En 50-årig man, en av två som vårdats i konstgjord lunga i Lund, dog tidigt på söndagsmorgonen.



Mannen, det åttonde kända dödsoffret i svininfluensan i Sverige, nekades vård flera gånger innan han togs omhand.

Mannens tillstånd hade stabiliserats, men han blev åter sämre under lördagen och tidigt på söndagsmorgonen kallades hans anhöriga till sjukhuset.


Enligt Carsten Lührs, verksamhetschef för thoraxkirurgi, anestesi och intesivvård vid Universitetssjukhuset i Lund, var det en bakteriell infektion med pneumokocker som i sin tur ledde till blodförgiftning som låg bakom dödsfallet.

— Blodförgiftningen hade mannen redan när han kom till oss, säger Carsten Lührs till TT.

Han beskriver hur blodförgiftningen angriper hela kroppen, bland annat genom inre blödningar.

— Det är inte helt ovanligt att man får en bakteriell infektion när man har en allvarlig virusinfektion, säger Carsten Lührs.

— Och det är den vanligaste orsaken till dödsfall vid influensa.

Mannen sökte vård både vid en vårdcentral och vid akuten på Universitetssjukhuset Mas för ungefär två veckor sedan, men skickades hem.
Först vid tredje försöket, när mannen var så sjuk att han föll i koma, fick han vård. Han lades då direkt i konstgjord lunga, en så kallad ecmo, den 28 oktober vid Universitetssjukhuset i Lund och har vårdats så sedan dess.
Carsten Lührs vill inte uttala sig om händelseförloppet innan mannen hamnade i Lund.

— Han var dock mycket sjuk när han kom hit, låg i respirator och lungorna var på väg att sluta fungera helt och hållet. Han hamnade i ecmon ganska omgående.

Enligt 50-åringens svägerska hade han inga andra sjukdomar och hörde inte till någon riskgrupp. Hon säger till Sydsvenskans hemsida att mannens sambo vill att det ska bli känt hur han behandlades när han sökte vård.
De anhöriga har anmält sjukvården till både HSAN, hälso- och sjukvårdens ansvarsnämnd och Socialstyrelsen. Region Skåne har efter att fallet blev känt skärpt rutinerna för hur personer med misstänkt svininfluensa tas emot.

Malmöbon är det åttonde kända svenska dödsfallet i svininfluensa.
I Lund kan åtta personer behandlas med konstgjord lunga. Men Carsten Lührs säger att inte fler än sex personer kan behandlas samtidigt utan att annan verksamhet påverkas.

När det gäller den andra patienten som vårdas i ecmo i Lund berättar Carsten Lührs om en viss förbättring.

— Men faran är egentligen inte över förrän man går härifrån.

Eighth death in the swine flu

A 50-year-old man, one of two that had been treated in an artificial lung in Lund, died early Sunday morning.

The man, the eighth known to die of the flu in Sweden, was denied treatment several times before he was taken care of.

The man's condition had stabilized, but he came back worse on Saturday and early Sunday morning called his relatives to the hospital.

According to Carsten Lührs Operations for thoracic surgery, anesthesia and intesivvård at Lund University Hospital, it was a bacterial infection with pneumococci, which in turn led to blood poisoning was behind the death.

- Blood poisoning was the man when he came to us, "said Carsten Lührs to TT.

He describes how blood poisoning attacks the entire body, including internal bleeding.

- It is not unusual to have a bacterial infection when you have a serious viral infection, "said Carsten Lührs.

- And it is the leading cause of death in influenza.

The man sought care both at a medical center and at the emergency room at University Hospital for about two weeks ago, but was sent home.
Only at the third attempt, when the man was so ill that he fell into a coma, he received care. He was then directly into the artificial lung, known as ECMO, 28 October at Lund University Hospital and has been treated so ever since.

Carsten Lührs would not comment on the events before the man came in Lund.

- He was very ill when he came here, was on a respirator and the lungs were going to stop working altogether. He ended up in ecmon fairly promptly.

According to 50-year old sister in law, he had no other illnesses and did not belong to any risk group. She says to Sydsvenskans website that's cohabiting want it to be known how he was treated when he sought treatment.
The relatives have been notified healthcare to both HSAN, health care and Social Responsibility Board. Region Skåne, after the case became known tightened procedures on how people with suspected swine influenza is received.

Malmöbon is the eighth known Swedish death of swine influenza.
In Lund, eight people treated with the artificial lung. But Carsten Lührs says that no more than six people can be treated simultaneously without the other activities are affected.
Regarding the second patient in care of ECMO in Lund says Carsten Lührs about some improvement.

- But the danger is not really over until it goes away.

Only men dead of flu in Sweden

Published: 16/11

Living alone can increase the risk of becoming infected with svininfluensan.-Health professionals should consider this before patients are sent home, "says Andreas Heddini the Swedish Institute of Infectious Diseases.


So far, all the adults who died due to the new flu in Sweden were men in middle age.
"It is purely coincidental," says Mia Brytting, chief microbiologist at the Infectious Diseases Institute (SMI) and adds that the virus A/H1N1 is not sexist.

Nowhere in the world there are reports which suggest that men generally were at greater risk than women, says the European disease control authority for the ECDC TT. Norway, for instance, statistics showed on Friday at nine dead women and four men dead and four dead children.

Anyone who belongs to a medical risk group in contrast, increased risk of serious illness or to die because of flu. Andreas Heddini, deputy state epidemiologist at the SMI, also point to the risk of living alone. Several of those who have died in Sweden has been missing loved one at home, "he says.

Eskilstuna
Risk patients never received vaccine
Published November 17, 2009 - 11:22



The 53-Arina man who was found dead of flu in an apartment in Eskilstuna, Sweden last week, had not received any vaccination, less than an invitation to one. This despite the fact that he was a at-risk patient.

Swine flu

80 per cent of risk groups vaccinated in S?rmland (from 27/10)
A thorough search of the man's medical records show that the main location point lung disease and was severely overweight. Yet he never called for a vaccination against swine flu.

The reason why the man slipped through the vaccination program's safety net, was that it was ten years ago he was in contact with the health care of any life-threatening diagnosis.

"When we took out our high-risk patients, we followed recommendations made by the Board of Social says that a driving record three years back in time enough," says Lennart Persson, chief medical officer.

"We must now examine whether we can sharpen our selection for the next flu," he says
