Tecnologico de Orizaba teacher dies of influenza
By In?s Garc?a Nieto
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009


On Tuesday September 29, victim died of the virus AH1N1 teacher Rosa Maria Ramirez, professor of Industrial Engineering area of the Technological Institute of Orizaba.

So on Thursday 1 October, the school suspended campus address to receive the visit of the Chief of Epidemiology of Health Jurisdiction VII, Dr. Guadalupe Canales whom he had an emergency meeting, and then thoroughly cleaned up every corner of the campus.

The teacher was pregnant at the time of being infected by the virus, but her baby survived.

Doctors in the Orizaba Health Jurisdiction claim that the teacher suffered respiratory complications, and as in simple cases of influenza have been absolute secrecy.

However, just past the rains that affected the majority of the entity, the Ministry of Health of Veracruz (Sesver) reported having registered 31 cases of influenza in the jurisdiction of VII de Orizaba from 29 September to 3 October.

In IMSS de Orizaba is said there are many unconfirmed cases of influenza, and that patients with suspicious symptoms are asked a quick test, but the professionals of the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (Indre) argued for the contingency in the country's epidemiological last April: "This study does not serve to determine the presence of influenza virus A H1N1."

Those days are reported nine deaths and hundreds of infected in Mexico City.

So the Health Department recommended that antiviral treatment started within 48 hours of symptoms of influenza.

After the death of the teacher of ITO Orizaba doctors interviewed in the study say that most effective is called PSR. Indicate that the sample is taken from the patient's throat is sent to the Department of Infectious Diseases of La Raza and the Indre.

The high demand for suspected cases slows down and sending the analysis result. In 22 days, the laboratories of these institutions confirm or rule out the presence of the virus from pigs.

Reaching 300 or 400 samples per day in 2008, when INDRE receives from 1.500 to 1.600 samples per day, which are shipped across the country.

On 12 September 2008, pregnant woman's death from influenza, Indre alerted for a possible pandemic. Reported on its website: "It is necessary that health authorities carry out permanent actions that help limit damage to the health of the population ..." Proceso magazine published in its edition 1696.

For his part of the SS CINAVE reported an increase for pneumonia and influenza in pregnant women. As at 19 August 2009, knew of 682 maternal deaths.

Why not say influenza pneumonia and doctors are asked Orizaba?

Respond separately by telephone.

The influenza virus facilitates the entry of other bacteria to the body and is therefore said pneumonia deaths. Add to that sum the result of the PSR takes longer than 20 days to return to the health institution that sent the death of the patient is responding to an inappropriate and inadequate treatment.
