Increased deaths from influenza A

There are 46 hospitals and three in critical condition

The number of deaths from influenza may increase in the coming hours, as at least three people are very serious in hospitals in Merida and 46 remain in hospital awaiting treatment effect against the virus.
The State Secretary of Health, Vivas Alvaro Quijano, noted that to date have confirmed six deaths due to A H1N1, and the number of infected individuals increased to 846 thousand.

"There is likely to increase the number of dead on Saturday, eight patients had severe, five are stable now, but three are still in very serious condition almost critical," he said.

"The last 24 hours the increase in cases was minimal, but as you can keep down may have an increase, it all depends on the actions of the people," he emphasized.

Although officially only recognizes the six fatalities, the official said that neither is possible that the two deaths that occurred last weekend had been for that disease.

"So far we already have 846 thousand cases of influenza and although there were six deaths and two more we have to continue with an administrative mechanism of the Security Committee," he said.

While at first these people were detected H1N1 virus, he added, taken tests which are sent to Mexico after receiving the response is up to the platform and made official.

He added that the case of a child treated at the Hospital Mexico-Korea was asthmatic and arrived with flu, so it may be that asthma is complicated by the disease.

In one case the clinic M?rida are awaiting the information if the patient already had an aggravating factor that was compounded with the virus and that is why we must make the steps above before you make it official.

"The number of deaths could rise as so far there are 46 cases of influenza in hospital and three of these are very delicate state of health and their prognosis is reserved," he insisted.

"By the time the increase of cases was low because there were 12 new infections, and if that figure stays we could say that there is stability," he said.

"For the sick we can not restrict our daily lives with the virus, which is here to stay, but if we can be aware and take steps, as if we have some cold symptoms or to abstain from attending to the beach and protect yourself and to avoid getting our own, in addition to taking measures that are broadcast daily in the media, "he said.

AGGRAVATING

The official cautioned that there are a number of aggravating that condition the death of infected persons, such as obesity, diabetes, lung problems, smoking and cardiovascular problems, and malnutrition which can cause severe complications.

"The other factor is the initiation of inappropriate treatment and delay appropriate treatment, so we should not let our guard down because the flu can be lethal in some specific cases," he warned.

Merida has mentioned that 85 percent of the confirmed cases, followed by Valladolid, Progreso, San Felipe, the latter warning, because the 13 patients represent a significant proportion to the number of locals.

"So far there are nine municipalities affected by the virus with very small numbers, the largest average age is between 19 and 30 years of age and most cases are concentrated in the capital city," he said.

"We have strengthened many preventive measures as radio spots, billboards and messages via cell phone to sensitize the people, but the important thing is to have public awareness, protect themselves and those around us," he said.

"There are sufficient treatment to meet the people, but if private assistance will be channeled to the state Health Department to discuss the cases and not to complicate the treatment, because if we were not adequately reported in that someone infected treatment we can get for free eventually cause more infections, "he concluded.

Paal BAXAL

Meanwhile, Gov. Ivonne Ortega Pacheco reported that analysis is the realization of the summer course "Baxal Paal," which could be carried out at the end of this month, if not increase further outbreaks of influenza.

"I do not want to discard the whole realization of the Paal Baxal, but look very deeply into the decision to do," he said.

"We have spoken with and epidemiologists say that in these times of more rainfall and lower temperatures this may be a factor in increasing the influenza infection," he said.

He added, the virus could be found in the environment, but if you can make at the end of July or the first week of August, the event and what we will know in advance, "he said.

He said that in the last 24 hours reported 1.846 cases of human influenza positive in both public and private institutions, but this is not definitive, because the behavior of the disease is related to measures of self, both individually and collectively.
"We have confirmed six deaths, during the weekend occurred two to be analyzed in the Safety Committee, since before doing so it has a formal administrative procedure and that the National Institute of Epidemiological Reference to confirm it," said .
He insisted that society must care for their health in their daily work, because as it is difficult to restrict the daily total isolation in our homes, "the important thing is to have public awareness, protect themselves and people around us, what sense? If we have a respiratory illness, as stay at home, forget about the holidays, ask for permission to work with full responsibility for going to the doctor. But if you feel healthy and decides to have fun, to take all preventive measures such as washing hands, not to go to closed sites with an excess of people, if you sneeze properly covered, among others.
He said the positive cases and thus may increase to the bottom, but "everything depends on the work of the health sector and the actions of the people."

New virus alert (RSV)
The microbe is more aggressive than the influenza A-H1N1
14/11/2009

The Sixth International Pediatric Course, which concluded last night in this city, was the framework for disseminating the latest advances in the treatment of a viral disease that is not new and represents a risk to children under one year.

This is the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which is the main cause of respiratory infections in infants and in its most severe is more deadly than influenza virus type A H1N1.

The topic was addressed by Dr. Peter A. Stone, a specialist at Baylor College in Houston, with 120 doctors participating in the Yucatan refresher course.

By a sudden, the expert was unable to reach the interview with the Journal, but instead Dr. Omar Peraza Jose Llanes, president of the College of Paediatricians of Yucatan, provided information on RSV.

"The RSV is a paramoxivirus causing bronchiolitis in children under one year, attacks mainly premature babies and those with chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease," the specialist Yucatec.

"The picture deserves severe hospitalization and mortality rate is 2 to 5 percent -" the influenza is 2% "-. It is accompanied by increased temperature, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough and difficulty breathing.

"In Yucatan, there are no statistics of cases per year, but is known. RSV attacks when wet, especially in winter and early spring, "says Dr. Peraza.

Caution parents to be alert to a respiratory virus that affects children
By Agencia EFE - 15 hours ago

New York, 13 nov (EFE) .- Doctors advise parents that for the seasonal flu season will keep alert to a respiratory virus, which can be confused with a cold, and is responsible for many visits to pediatricians for under - five years.

Respiratory syncytial virus is an infection of the upper airway through which virtually all infants are in contact at least once before their second birthday.

This disease is also the leading cause of hospitalization among infants under one year old and can be up to 10 times more deadly than influenza in this group.

Season starts in November of this virus and continued for five months and the most common symptoms are runny nose and fever and often becomes even a bad cough, persistent wheezing and breathlessness.

The symptoms are the same as seasonal flu and the A for what parents should be aware as only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis, said Sergio Golomberk, associate professor of Pediatrics and Clinical Public Health at New York Medical College.

"I have many years following this virus and at risk kids really have problems more serious than the flu," he reiterated in an interview with Efe the Argentine physician to practice in the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital Medical Center of Westchester in New York.

Apnea (breathing cut off for more than 10 seconds) purple in the lips, mouth or under the nails, rapid breathing, and difficulty eating are symptoms of a more serious infection of the disease, he added.

All babies are at risk of contracting this virus, especially in the first six months of life. Those who are born prematurely are particularly vulnerable because birth prematurely interrupted the development of the lungs and because they lack the antibodies needed to fight infections.

There are other factors that put infants at risk such as low birth weight (less than 5 1 / 2 pounds), contact with other children at daycare or school-age siblings, history of asthma in the family and exposure snuff the smoke.

Babies with heart or lung disease, or suffer from immune deficiency should be carefully observed for longer periods of time since the RSV can cause more serious infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia, said his pediatrician.

He noted that many people are still unaware that this disease exists and that there are ways to protect their babies during the winter months when they are more susceptible to diseases like the common cold, influenza and RSV.

He recalled that it is important to keep children and adults with colds, coughs or sneezes paragraphs of the baby.

The virus lives for several hours on tissues and many surfaces so that adults can prevent infection frequently cleaning bedding, toys and personal items of the baby and ask everyone to wash hands before touching or use antibacterial lotion.

Golomberk contained in the list of best U.S. pediatricians said that there is still no vaccine for RSV, as against seasonal or H1N1 virus, but said there was a shot (an antibody) that is the child once a month during the period of the virus, which protects you from severe infections.

"It fully protects babies ever to have the virus, but severe infections and several studies have shown that significantly prevents hospitalizations and depending on your age can be between 30 and 80 percent," he said.

He warned however that not all babies qualify for this treatment and that this may vary from state to state.

But, he explained, if it is premature and is between three and six months old at the start of the season qualify for the virus treatment, and babies with serious congenital heart problems or severe neurological disease.

This disease is so serious in babies under two years old and adults over 65 years because its levels have diminished defenses.
