Swine flu outbreak worsens in Argentina

June 27th, 2009

Buenos Aires, June 28 (EFE) Health officials in Argentina said Saturday the government may declare a state of emergency as the influenza A(H1N1) virus, also called swine flu, is spreading alarmingly in the country.

Till date, 26 people have died and more than 1,500 people have been infected by the deadly virus in the country.

“The emergency does not mean we’re closing everything down. The emergency is a frame of reference for having medicines ready for direct purchase and mobilising health personnel,” Health Minister Claudio Zin said.
A national emergency may be declared next week, the minister said.

Health organisations said the number of swine flu cases is higher than the official figure in the country and hospitals have been unable to deal with the situation.

On Friday, 99 new cases have been tested positive for swine flu, raising the total to 1,587.

Every year in the United States, on average 5% (15,202,986)to 20% (60,811,944) of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and; about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes.

Argentina is not in the United States

In Agentina, like some regions in the US, testing has halted and a pandemic H1N1 diagnosis is made based on clinical presentation.

Consequently the number of infections is orders of magnitude higher than confirmed cases, but the concerns in Argentina center both on the state of the health care system in general, as well as the rapid increase in fatal infections, including those that rapidly deteriorate while develping symptoms similar to infected patients in the 1918 pandemic.

Moreover, like the 1918 pandemic, the vast majority of infections and fatalities are in previously healthy young adults, and the H1N1 is a swine flu that has recently begun to spread throughout the human population.

Lungs that “catch fire” in hours

There are patients of “an unusual” gravity

Saturday 27 of June of 2009

“We are seeing the internment of young patients, among 15 and 50 years, with pneumonias, some that evolve quickly towards a gravity that stops many is unusual, in which the lung “catches fire” in a matter of hours”, commented doctor Jorge San Juan, head of the Department of Intensive Therapy of the Muñiz hospital.

That has taken to that the patients of these characteristics begin to be treated in more and more aggressive form. As the NATION informed yesterday, the doctors received from the Ministry of Health the directive to take, of now in more, to all the cases of influenza like potentials of A influenza (H1N1), with the recommendation to realise x-rays of thorax to the patients with fever symptoms and fatigue and to commit quickly to which they suffer pneumonia.

“Today, that already is known that the virus is circulating massively, the attitude that has itself with the patients depends on the clinical evaluation that the doctor does, so that he is not transformed into a serious case. No longer [is necessary to make the diagnosis of laboratory that confirms the infection by the new virus] to begin the treatment”, said doctor Vilma Savy, female leader of the Respiratory Service of Virus of the Malbrán institute.

The preoccupation by how it attacks this influenza some young people was confirmed to the NATION by a forensic doctor who, in the last hours, realised two autopsies in two people passed away by influenza A.

“The bodies had the vísceras, meninges and the brain inflamed, a factor little common in which dies by influenza. In addition, the lungs were in very bad state, with spots that we have not been able to identify. We sent them to realise studies of pathological anatomy”, said the pathologist that it asked not to present his name until the sanitary authorities took note from the found thing.

The changes in the strategies of attention of the patients who arrive with advanced pictures of influenza aim at being more aggressive: to try, and later to see what happens; to burn stages. “This form of attention of the serious patient will change the evolution and will avoid more deaths and pneumonias - doctor San Juan affirmed, coordinator of the Committee of Emergencia Epidemiologist of the Buenosairean Ministry of Health.

For a serious pneumonia, San Juan explained, today the patients not only receive antibiotics in empirical form but also antiviral and the possibility is not delayed of resorting to the mechanical respiratory attendance.

“Although 24 hours are expected generally to see how it evolves, we suggested not to do it and, if it is unbalanced quickly, to arrive at intubation”, it needed San Juan.

The province of Buenos Aires will count, as of the next week, with tests of fast diagnosis that will allow to discriminate, in only 15 hisopados minutes by means of, if the person is carrying of influenza A. Anyway, the final confirmation will give the Malbrán institute it. The new test will serve to begin the treatment before, informed the Buenosairean sanitary authorities.

The "Lungs catching on fire" gave me chills because it might be another way to describe what the 1918 flu did to people, from a sufferer's perspective. That's because the lungs filled too quickly with fluid and sometimes blood, patients drowned in their own lung fluid.

I was just pointing out the numbers, 1,500 infected and 26 dead is nothing to get excited over.

If I knew what the Argentine equivalent of the CDC was I would go to their website and look up numbers for them too.

BTW
wake up people

this is coming to a hospital near you soon. If anyone thinks that US hospitals are going to handle a pandemic of any kind they are sorely mistaken. Unless the nurse fairy comes in the night and dorps nurses from the sky we are screwed. You can NOT run a hospital without nurses, and we dont have them!

**Space05us** · June 29, 2009, 21:10

Yes, let me dawn a leotard and exterior underwear. I shall fly off into the sunset to do battle with the villainous INLFLUENZA!

I pay taxes, the CDC is doing it's job. If this turns into some 21st century killer plague there's nothing any of us will be able to do about it other than ride it out. No number of nurses will magically cure it.

For the record it's already here. Wisconsin is winning the race with 4,273 confirmed cases, the grand total so far is 27,717 confirmed cases, 127 deaths.
