There are already cases of influenza A H1N1 virus in Uruguay, El Pais infectious Homero Bagnulo. Although he could not say how many there are at times affected, Bagnulo said spread over several institutions and some have complications.



Gilberto Rios, director general of health, did not respond to inquiries from the country.



In the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, the traditional gateway to Uruguay virus, H1N1 has claimed at least seven deaths so far this winter. There are 37 confirmed cases and 536 people with symptoms of illness.



"It is logical that flu this time of year: all the viruses that are epidemic, then remain as endemic," said Bagnulo. The specialist said that in 2009 the epidemic was severe, so that in 2010 more people were vaccinated and there were fewer cases. 'But since nothing happened last year, people were vaccinated this year not so much' he said.

There are five people infected with H1N1 influenza viruses in Uruguay. Public Health says that this virus, which in 2009 generated a global pandemic, now has a non-aggressive behavior, similar to traditional flu.



During the last week of June we identified five cases of H1N1 in the country, something 'expected', according to experts. 'It was always said that after the pandemic, the virus is endemic form, taking a few sporadic cases. Keeping the current numbers, this does not cause a special state of alarm, "he told El Pais infectious Eduardo Savio.



According to the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), the victims are out of danger. Although he preferred to hold in reserve more details of these people, the director general of health, Gilberto R?os, told El Pais that the health centers where cases were identified MSP should inform the patients how they evolve.
