l Patients, young and newly arrived from Mexico, are isolated and have mild tables
l One of the affected student, Physical Therapy, was traveling with other studies
As if it were an epidemiological yenka, Asturias yesterday was a step forward and one back as far as the swine flu, now called "new flu" or "influenza A". Because, on the one hand, it is definitely confirmed that the first suspected case in the region did not correspond to this type of flu, and on the other three people were admitted in respiratory isolation in hospitals-Central (Oviedo) of Cabueñes (Gijón) and San Agustin (Avilés), respectively, suffering from a number of symptoms consistent with the emerging epidemic in Mexico and whose effects are spreading gradually from the five continents.
Cases of Gijon and Aviles-out and a couple of 31 years who had been cared for in-Cabueñes have several factors in common: they are young, have recently returned from the country and have an Aztec mild symptoms that they would have to the hospital if not for the rigorous preventive orchestrated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and supported with exemplary precision by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health of the Autonomous Communities without discrimination arising from the political preferences of their governments. "They could be perfectly at home because the level of gravity is nonexistent," said the CEO, who added that they are being treated with an antiviral response.
The patients at Central Hospital in late afternoon, less data transcended: it is a student of Physiotherapy at the University of Oviedo, has about 20 years and recently had been on study tour of Mexico with others.
"The situation is serious, but they are taking all measures that are within our reach ', noted in yesterday afternoon Amelia González, director general of the Principality of Public Health at the beginning of the press conference which unveiled "two significant developments which affect the Principality: the case and ruled out suspected Avilés and Gijón (Oviedo came to after the hearing). Gonzalez was accompanied by Mario Margolles, head of epidemiological services of the Ministry of Health.
The data revealed by the health authorities are essentially the following. Before he joined the Hospital San Agustín a man of 36 years who had arrived from Mexico last Tuesday, that day began to receive flu symptoms on Wednesday and at the last minute went to avilesino center, where he was interned. Yesterday, a couple of 24 years was seen at a health center in Gijón and then sent to hospital Cabueñes. He had arrived in Mexico yesterday, Wednesday, and before embarking on the return began to suffer flu-like symptoms, which makes a case "highly suspicious" of swine flu, according to Amelia González. According could see New Spain, this patient was in Cancun in tourist travel.
The evidence taken by the doctors have been sent to the National Microbiology Center, located in Majadahonda (Madrid) and the test of this specialty of the Central Hospital of Asturias. Amelia Gonzalez noted the high level of microbiologists of the health care Ovetense, although the last word has madrileños specialists, whose center is listed as a national reference.
For the moment, no prophylactic measures have been applied to people around those affected. Following established protocols, this measure would be applied if the analysis confirms that influenza is suffering caused by new virus.
Amelia Gonzalez said that the deployment of health measures undertaken so far unrelated to the severity of the current scene (a trickle of flu without major consequences), but with the fact that it is a disease caused by a new strain of virus for which most people do not have antibodies to fight infection. However, to date, "the risks are no greater than the last epidemic wave 'of flu recorded in Asturias, said the director general.
The size of the devices put in place is derived from the protocols of alert issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), which affect all countries (regardless of their level of development) and to raise the level of risk to grade 5 (out of a maximum of 6) forces to intensify the work of detection and treatment of suspected cases.
