Between 1.5 thousand and 2 thousand people may be infected with influenza A in the state. The estimate is from the State Department of Health Under Secretary, Osmar Terra, but the disease progresses rapidly, in most cases admission and waiver can be treated at home.
Land cited the case of Vila Nova do Sul, in the Central Region, to show that the advance of new flu, although fast, can be overcome. In the city, he said, there was a small outbreak, with 266 of about 4 thousand people infected. It was unnecessary, however, any admission - all patients recovered in their homes. In addition to Vila Nova, two cities of Rio Grande do Sul have outbreaks, they are Val?rio South, Sierra, and S?o Martinho da Serra, in the Central Region.
To contain the progress of the disease, a new consignment of Tamiflu drug to reach the state on Monday. 1.2 thousand treatments are a combination of antibiotics and oseltamivir, which will add up to one thousand doses on Friday. The product is used for guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO), but Earth reinforces that its effectiveness is limited.
- The Tamiflu does not cure, it only reduces the pulmonary complications in the first two days, has no preventive effect - says the secretary.
