Influenza A: came reagents to detect the disease
Publication Date: Monday, June 7, 2010

The Network Central Laboratory of the province received from the Nation reagents to analyze samples of respiratory illness that can determine which might correspond to Influenza A (H1N1). Although not yet definitive diagnosis can be made locally, these resources can rule probable cases without the need to resort to national laboratories.
The Deputy Director of Laboratory Surveillance System of the Province, Gustavo Fern?ndez said to El Litoral that testing for influenza may not yet completed in the province but said there was a significant advance in the work. "We received reagents that can confirm whether the samples are Influenza A," he said.
While not yet received the necessary equipment to identify the subtype H1N1, the official stressed the significant progress which means this incorporation. "We can not rule out suspected cases that correspond to other types of flu," he said.
As for the machinery needed to complete the diagnosis of influenza, Fernandez said, "should arrive during the month." With that addition, Corrientes would be able to certify the cases of pandemic disease without sending samples to other laboratories in the country.
Fernandez said that so far have not been identified probable cases of influenza A in the province. "Every week we get suspicious samples, but all were ruled out, he said.
