Asturian influenza was experienced in recent weeks. According to the Ministry of Health, since the end of last December, the flu virus began to circulate with greater intensity, Asturias recorded nearly a hundred flu-related hospitalizations. Some of the patients, indicates the last issue of the Sentinel Physician Network of the Principality, have undergone influenza pneumonia, so it ended up being admitted to the ICU. Service Alerts and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Principality has no record of any deaths from influenza.
The most serious cases were reported in adults with and without previous health disorders that could present an alert to the emergence of an influenza virus. That is, between those who developed acute complications were people without risk factors. To date, Asturias has registered about 28,000 flu conditions. 60% of them have been caused by the H1N1 virus, responsible for the pandemic of 2010.
Recent records indicate that the Principality during the week of 16 to 22 January, the incidence rate was 393 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants, which represents about 4,300 patients in Asturias week. Virus penetration intensified in recent days. Coincidentally, the increase occurred after the flu had lowered a bit, prompting experts to predict that the virus began to retreat. But back to school after the Christmas holidays that the disease was re-circulate among the smallest force, which this season are still the group hardest hit by the epidemic. Hence the flu fluctuation recorded in the last 20 days.
Among patients, the main risk factor is being asthma. The highest rates continue to occur in patients younger than 14 years. The presence of virus in those over 65 is still virtually zero, which is quite unusual.
Sick leave
Only 7.2% of those who have had flu this season were vaccinated. 37% of those affected had to take time off work. To date, we have isolated a total of 309 virus. Of these, 185 have been the A H1N1. Another 92 are still labeled but more than likely match the pandemic strain of the past year.
The Ministry of Health estimates that in the coming weeks "may increase the number of severe flu cases," term for which is also expected to have a decline in incidence rates among the general population.
In the whole of Spain, Carlos III Institute has recorded 777 serious cases of flu and 54 deaths. 91% of deaths due to infection with H1N1 virus
