Italy: A Moroccan carrier of influenza A runs from hospital
Published on 14/10/2009
Carrier of influenza A, a young homeless Moroccan presents himself at a hospital. But the police arrived, he fled. The recent Italian laws criminalizing illegal immigration there is probably something.
The circumstances and accidents of life are sometimes so violent that it remains as a solution that flight. This is surely an idea that has crossed the mind of this young 23 year old Moroccan who escaped from the Sant'Anna hospital in the city of La Spezia, 100 miles south of Genoa.
They had crossed the Mediterranean in search of a better life, but the two Moroccans were left homeless and undocumented in the streets of Italy or xenophobia appears to have reached to the head of government.
Already infected by severe pneumonia, the two companions were presented initially to hospital in Sarzana. Here, the tests confirmed they were both positive for influenza A H1N1. The youngest two patients (20 years) with severe respiratory failure, they were transferred to the intensive care unit of Sant'Anna.
At the police arrived at the hospital and seeing the importance of the security apparatus was put in place around him, the older of the two take to their heels, leaving his friend in intensive care.
It is currently still infected, but in nature. It must be said that a few weeks, the Italian government adopted the "security package" that eventually convince our patient it was a choice between getting treatment or be deported, the choice between the risk of succumbing to the Influenza A and renewed in the charter.
Note that in Italy the doctors did not normally required to contact the police when they treat illegal. But the hunt for undocumented immigrants seems to have reached all strata of the transalpine society .
