Asked to maintain measures for prevention of dengue and influenza in Jalisco

GUADALAJARA, Jalisco (Notimex) .- The head of the Epidemiology Department of the Ministry of Health Jalisco (SSJ), Arturo Figueroa Rangel, asked to keep dengue prevention strategies and influenza in the state.

Said it is very important to continue preventive measures to avoid outbreaks that endanger the health of the population.

He said that the collaboration of the community in descacharrizaci?n, abatizaci?n and spraying their homes to eliminate the mosquito that transmits dengue has been very important for this year, referring to the above, it takes a smaller number of new cases by epidemiological week.

He said the fact that many Jalisco vaccinated against influenza A (H1N1), especially high-risk sectors such as diabetes or asthma patients, largely prevents the submission of an outbreak of cases.

Confirmed a new case of classic dengue type in the town of Tuxpan, so the accumulated so far this year is 20 cases, 19 classic and one hemorrhagic.

With regard to influenza, said it confirmed an imported case of A (H1N1) that culminated in death, and 53 year old was a native of Chiapas, but when present the symptoms, the March 11, was in Michoac?n .

The patient was transferred to civilian hospitals for care on March 23, the day when, hours later, he died.

Since this was an isolated case and was treated only by health workers vaccinated against influenza, the official ruled out for the moment there is a risk of an outbreak.

He stated that strengthened the surveillance system and still no vaccine in stock for those who have not been immunized.

Recommended that the practices of hand hygiene and care sneezing continue to be carried out as part of the prevention culture promoted from the influenza A (H1N1).

So far this year have been analyzed 285 samples for influenza, of which 20 were positive for seasonal influenza and four influenza type B, and from epidemiological week 9 (February 27 to March 5) are not reported new cases
