About the deaths, health authorities stated that 128 of those killed tested positive to bird them AH1N1 but 116 have been classified as deaths associated with it.

"The rest is still being studied or considered that influenza did not play a role in the causal chain of events that ended in death," he said.

Given the downward trend of cases, according to the report, the impact to date on health services is low.

This is far from what happened in June when the private hospitals in Santiago were crowded with patients who visited the doctor with flu symptoms.

The first case of swine influenza in Chile was met on 17 May. The harsh winter helped spread the disease in the country.

Santiago de Chile .- In Chile no tremor, with which they wake up almost daily, was causing so much panic among the population as human influenza virus H1N1, which began circulating officially on May 17, and currently affects about 12 thousand 175 people and of these 116 have died.

With a population of 15 million, the Ministry of Health has reported a total of 353 thousand suspects and 525 cases compatible with the virus, however, the PCR laboratory, only allowed to process more than 34 thousand 469 samples, which, 12 thousand 175 have tested positive for any respiratory virus, uncommon in this nation.

"Of the 34 thousand 469 positive samples, 48.4% were influenza A, a 29% to Pandemic Influenza, a 19% influenza A without typing and only 0.5% of seasonal influenza (H3 and H1). These rates vary according to age groups: in those older than 5 years without typing influenza A and influenza pandemic represents 88%, "according to the report.

Currently, the Ministry of Health reports 128 deaths, but only 116 cases were classified as deaths related to pandemic influenza. The rest are still under consideration because it is suspected that influenza did not play a role in the causal chain.

"Women represent 51% of cases. The median age was 34 years (range 11 days to 94 years). The rate of IRAG by Influenza A / H1N1 is higher in less than one year (62.6 per hundred thousand) and in group 1 to 4 years (15.9 per hundred thousand). "

The report said that 48% of cases have a history of chronic disease such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension, and 647 thousand have been delivered 294 anti-viral treatments.

Denisse Fuentes, tour guide and whose center of operation is the airport, explained that until a week ago, as he explained, people began to relax and adopt as part of their everyday human influenza virus, as happened with tremors, which are very common in his homeland.

However, he said in an interview, all flights are "particularly of Panama or Mexico, or make connections, there is an infrared system that measures the temperature of disembarking passengers through the tunnel.

"Some flights have come from Mexico have found several people with symptoms, and some verbal flight alerts yet," said Fuentes.

The tour guide also mentioned that when Mexico issued new warnings to the world, that April 23, many Chileans, especially people related to tourism, was really alarmed flights from our nation.

"My colleagues were saying, a flight from Mexico used carefully mask. I'm permanently at the airport, getting a lot of people, but I decided not to wear a mask, also failed to detect any infection.

"Now we went back to some normalcy, many Chileans who canceled their flights to Mexico, are renewing, travel agents are doing it again all these cancellations valid," he said in an interview.
