The health secretary of Mexico City, Francisco Osuna Ortega said he is a latent increase in the number of cases of influenza due to low temperatures that occur in the afternoon and evening.
In an interview explained that the September 21 date there have been 259 cases of the disease, of which 176 are of H3N2, 44 influenza A, 36 influenza B and only three of H1N1.
Stressed that this winter season there is an increase in the number of patients with influenza and 'the possibility of more patients is latent' because the entry of a new cold front and the temperature drop in the mornings and evenings, so urged people to get vaccinated, 'we have vaccines. "
Osuna Ortega reiterated to the capital city to avoid sudden temperature changes, not self-medicate, drink plenty of fluids and vitamin C.
He also asked not to exercise outdoors "because right now, with this temperature to pull the cold air as the pharynx and all we have natural moisturizing dry, which facilitates reaching the bacteria and viruses and you sick."
He stressed that fortunately there has not been a surge of H1N1 virus, due to the intense vaccination campaign in Mexico City as' the contact that had naturally immunized to most people, so that we are in normal range, natural, as has been presented every year. "
Epidemiological surveillance in Mexico City takes place every day, in all jurisdictions in the capital's airport and the capital of the country, he said.
At a press conference held that to prevent entry of cholera in Mexico by
the epidemic in Haiti International Airport in Mexico City carried out a major epidemiological surveillance through the International Health 24 hours 365 days year.
In addition, he said, on connecting flights in Haiti have reviewed 626 of Central and South America, interviewed passengers and 74.106 date no suspected or confirmed case.
He argued that "in Mexico City can rest easy because there is a very important surveillance ', however warned that the possibility of entering a case and then an epidemic is very easy, so that all measures have been tightened to health and each entity has to do this work of supervision.
He said that no city or country in the world can be considered shielded because the movement of international passengers is hundreds of thousands and it is sometimes very difficult to diagnose at the time.
'The intelligence monitoring and epidemiological surveillance in Mexico City does not report any cases of cholera in any public or private hospital and has not been detected in any patient who has come with evil in any international flight, "he declared.
He recalled that cholera has not been eradicated in Mexico and in 1997 there was a major outbreak from Central America. 'It was thought that it would take a long time coming to Mexico and arrived very quickly, so that this requires us to have an important oversight. "
To avoid getting this disease recommended drinking boiled water, chlorinated and raw seafood consumption because the transmission is more common in these.
During the press conference held at the headquarters of the SSDF, Osuna was accompanied by Jose de Jesus Trujillo, director general of the capital's Health Protection Agency, and Guadalupe Sanchez Gonzalez, in charge of the Office of International Health.
