Infectious Disease Hospital number 1 is not coping with the flow of cases dangerous virus.


Moscow doctors on the verge of hysterics: they do not cope with the flow of patients that come in specialized clinics with suspected swine flu.

Hospital for Infectious Diseases № 1 packed. Reception department does not have time to register diseased. For patients allocated an additional branch, which also has already been filled.

Resource Clinic, designed for 434 adults and 303 beds for children, not enough. Confirmed influenza epidemic in Moscow is not announced, but according to doctors, the capital long ago crossed the epidemic threshold. Doctors can not cope with the flow of cases that has occurred in recent times. Doctors strongly recommend that school leaders to apply to the hospital only in case of severity of disease.

- In the dorms should be allocated so-called boxes - multiple rooms - otselyat there sick, and if, within days of the infected state is deteriorating, you should contact the clinic - advises the chief epidemiologist of infectious diseases hospital № 1 Marina Bazarov.

Many, whose disease is easy, once discharged, and in their place come new. This flow of cases doctors first "infektsionki" not seen a long time.
Following PFUR and Suvorov military school students influenza crippled the Moscow publishing printing college behalf Fedorov.

Suspected deadly strain of the virus A/H1N1 in "infektsionku" delivered nine students.

- All the sick were living in a dormitory at the Yaroslavl highway. Nine people taken to hospital. Others were examined by a doctor - says Life News deputy director on educational work of the college Nina Mashunina. - Live in the dormitory of about 800 students. Quarantine, we have not yet been entered, taken all measures to prevent further spread of infection.

Epidemiologists have warned that the peak incidence of dangerous virus yet to come, but when it is expected, experts say difficult.

- The strain has not yet been studied, and how it will behave, is hard to tell, - said the head of the Laboratory Institute of Virology RAMS Elena Burtseva. -

Definitely one thing - the infection is transmitted by airborne droplets, so that outbreaks of the virus can not be avoided. Likely that the peak incidence would be in January and February.

I hope that's just speculation about a new deadly strain and not something they have confirmation of.

Having read a lot of Russian news lately, I would say it seems to be "normal" for the press and others to talk about new H1N1 being a "deadly strain".

In many countries - including Russia - health authorities have downplayed the current H1N1 pandemic, saying "it is mild" , etc..

You need to explain why it is more severe now than you said it would be, by saying something like "a mutation happened", or "the virus has become more virulent" etc., etc..

H1N1 is also politics.

We also have the commments by the UK's chief medial officer Liam Donaldson yesterday that http://www.hsj.co.uk/news/acute-care/concern-as-swine-flu-cases-double/5007706.article

Sir Liam Donaldson said the rise in the number of hospital cases to 506 was most worrying, with the number in critical care reaching 99, the highest since the pandemic started.

The number of deaths of people suffering from the illness in the UK has risen to 128, including 93 deaths in England, 21 in Scotland, eight in Northern Ireland and six in Wales.

Sir Liam said: ?We don?t understand why this has happened. It looks as if the virus is having a different impact in the flu season than it had in the summer.?

The percentage of patients ending up in in intensive care has doubled in the UK recently. The UK also reported another Tamiflu resistant case this week and I still wonder about E627K.

Today at 10:28 | Interfax-Ukraine Moscow, November 11
(Interfax) - Russian medical specialists are of the view that the A(H1N1) virus has not undergone significant genetic mutations and has not acquired new malignant properties Gennady Onishchenko the chief public health official and head of the consumer and health protection watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, said.

"We have been concerned about the virus's mutability from the very start. The worst concerns that it might be changing have not come true so far. Fortunately, it has not mutated in a way that we could say that it has become more aggressive," Onishchenko said.The studies of the H1N1 virus in the Russians who have contracted it or died from complications have shown that the virus "does not have any unique mutations," he said.

"The grave cases of the disease were caused not by the virus's properties but by the properties of the organisms that it affected," he said :tiphat: http://www.kyivpost.com/news/russia/detail/52450/
