If the above translation says that it takes 20 days to confirm pandemic H1N1, then there is a very major backlog, or there are deliberate delays in confirmation.

Cumulative current 77 suspected influenza A

The Central Laboratory of Corrientes sent 25 new samples of suspected influenza A Malbrán Carlos Institute, which now flows with 77 cases in the analysis. Meanwhile, the government reported that the hospital Llano address from now on all respiratory conditions, and continued speculation inputs to prevent the disease.

The Ministry of Public Health reported that to date remained at 5 the number of patients confirmed to Influenza A, however the Institute Malbrán are delayed in delivery of the samples already shipped, which is estimated that up to 30 can be confirmed.
Gerardo Andino, director of the Central Laboratory for Networks and Programs of the Province, said 25 new samples were sent on Saturday to determine this: 1 corresponds to Curuzú Cuatiá where it has detected one of the first 5 cases, the rest are the City of Corrientes.

To explain the delay in delivery of results, the Department of Respiratory Viruses, Department of Virology Institute Malbrán reported to be overwhelmed by its capabilities in priority in their analysis of cases of severe acute respiratory infections and provinces where samples are not yet Cases of the disease.

Influenza A is a virus that has mutated from pigs to humans, which erupted in the United States and Mexico, and from there spread to the rest of the pandemic world. Argentina is now third on the list of states with most cases. Only some like Russia, which implemented stringent internal controls, there is no internal spread of the disease.

Correntino government officials say that "the flu is an influenza A more" and that "it is easier to get it than any other type of influenza." But do not stop recommending that we should not take aspirin to calm the symptoms ProQuad is cloud detection of the disease, hygiene must be maintained to the fullest, and to be caring for other situations of potential contagion.

Recent records of the Ministry of Health of the Nation for 1488 show positive cases in the country, 1680 negative and 23 deaths, while 967 other samples suspected to be found in analysis. The demand study was the collapse capacity of Melbrán, as did the recent dengue epidemic also came to Corrientes.

This has for example in the city and the province of Buenos Aires only consider the cases at this stage of severe acute respiratory infections or deaths. Currents in the Minister of Health reported that the government take action on each of the suspected patients treated the disease "

"We will not wait for final results for appropriate measures of isolation and treatment of the patient, for the sake of their health and to prevent further infections. We ask the community before the first symptom to see the doctor at the hospital or health center closest to home. No need to panic, "said the minister.

But uncertainty remains, and for some, as has happened with repellents for dengue, that means more profits. The shops have raised the price of the chinstrap and almost do not get alcohol gel at pharmacies capital after the government recommended that input to avoid possible infections. Meanwhile, it was reported that the Llano hospital is republished as a center for respiratory consultations while in Vidal increase with the passage of days.

I think there's just a huge backlog because everything has to go through the Malbran institute to be confirmed.

http://www.agenciafe.com/noticia/ar...S_DE_GRIPE_A_EN_LA_PROVINCIA_DE_SANTA_FE.html

From a newspaper in Santa Fe, one of the hardest hit areas:

(machine translation)

The Ministry of Health informed that in our province they have been notified - until the moment 403 suspicious cases of A influenza (H1N1), of which 34 are positive, 37 with negative results of laboratory and 332 are in study, between which count 40 confirmed by private laboratories that must be validated by the Malbr?n institute.

Thus it indicates the report epidemiologist emitted by the Room of Situation of the Plan of Contingency of the Ministry of provincial Health, that slogan that ?the 403 suspicious cases, are distributed geographically according to place of residence of the people, and correspond - by regions: 300 to the one of Rosary; 84 to Santa Fe; 13 to One-eyed Deer; 2 to Rafaela; 2 to Recapture (one deceased in Buenos Aires); and the rest a boy who presented/displayed symptoms during his permanence in the city of Rosary of another province?.

The cases confirmed by the Malbr?n until the moment are 34. One is people whose ages go of the 2 to 41 years. 50% correspond to minors of 20 years and 27 of them are domiciled in the region Rosary, 3 in the one of Santa Fe, 2 in the one of One-eyed Deer (Rufino) and 2 in the one of Recapture.

In relation to the results, to date 37 negative studies have been received that correspond to the cities of Rafaela (1), Santa Fe (5), Rosary (29) and One-eyed Deer (2), being 332 slopes, in study, including the 40 positives of samples analyzed in private laboratories that must be validated.

Also, the report epidemiologist contains the registry of situation of 157 scholastic establishments, as much officials as prevailed, of who 87 had to totally close their doors and other 70 in partial form (courses - rooms) like part of the designed strategies of containment in the Plan of Contingency.

As we informed in our edition into yesterday, in our city, they are the five closed schools totally for this reason and 18 those have done that it of partial way, only in the degrees or salitas where the suspicious cases were notified.

The analyses, in Rosary

The minister of Health, Miguel Cappiello Angel, announced that as of the next Monday the studies of the samples of Gripe A (H1N1) corresponding to the province of Santa Fe will be realised in center of Ambulatory Medical Specialties of Rosary (Cemar), which will allow to obtain the results in few hours.

He said that this was possible ?thanks to the received qualification of professionals in the National Institute Malbr?n and the acquisition of the equipment necessary to develop the well-known technique like Real PCR Time?, that demanded to the provincial State an investment of 33,000 dollars?.
