When was the 40-year-old Berlin on Sunday the H1N1 test ( "new influenza") positive, "said Regina Kneiding, spokeswoman for the Senate Health Administration. The Berlin had arrived on Friday with an inflammatory lung disease in Vivantes Clinic Am Urban in Kreuzberg - and died on Monday "complete surprise" to cardiovascular failure. The course of pneumonia was not unusual. The autopsy will now determine whether there was a connection between the death of the patient and the infection with influenza H1N1. Whether the man had had previous illnesses, the health authority could not say yesterday evening. Its environment is now being investigated.
The man was admitted through the emergency agency, said the chief physician of the emergency room of the Urban Hospital, Michael De Ridder. Information on the patient if he declines, with reference to medical confidentiality. De Ridder warns against panic: "It is unclear whether there is a connection between infection with the virus and the death of the patient." Make him at this stage and say he died of swine flu, "would be irresponsible." The Urban-rescue place had rooms to isolate patients with H1N1 suspicion. The capacity of the Berlin emergency rooms are limited. Again and again, family doctors sent patients who might have become infected with pig carcass, continue out of fear rather in rescue bodies.

Another 200 contracts will be signed within the next few days. Around 2,000 practices are needed, however, according to estimates by health experts to ensure a fast optimal vaccine supply in the city. As reported previously, this fails at the refusal of many doctors who participate.

"We are optimistic that sufficient doctors are available to vaccinate everyone to who desires it."
The spokesman for the Berlin established about 300 children and young physicians, Ulrich Fegeler, stressed that "are very busy almost all of our practices, more than all hands to treat the common cold diseases." The pediatricians want to suggest the districts with their health departments cooperate. The chairman of the House Doctors' Association, Hans-Peter Hoffert, meanwhile, is confident that soon more colleagues will participate in the vaccination. "Meanwhile, pharmacist Yaser Alshrafi, Director of the zeppelin Pharmacy in Spandau, hardly a normal day's work.
