Peak One of the two diseases co-infected patients with influenza A/H1N1 and dengue fever (SXH) died, the other serious illness also apply home. This information has been doctor Nguyen Hong Ha, Vice Director of the Institute for infectious diseases and tropical countries, said.
Thus, from the week, the Barbados broadcast notices discovered seven ca 2 co-infected patients with acute (influenza A/H1N1 - SXH) and a ca died, U.S. announced Monday that the two patients detected the first human infection.
Can be said that the treatment for both these two ca failed. Failure that makes people very worried by several reasons.
First, the capacity of treatment in medical facilities than in hospitals in Vietnam are very far distance. The National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Research National treatment is not for the two patients infected with influenza A/H1N1 - SXH first, though not sufficient basis to say anything much about mortality song clearly, if fall on the basis of the medical treatment will be more difficult and more easy to defeat.
Monday, SXH online services quickly to the more complicated development makes a series of hospitals throughout the country fell into overload. Data by the Ministry of Health announced that the country has over 74,240 people infected SXH, including 58 deaths. Over the same period in 2008, the number of SXH grew 16.8%.
Peak service SXH annual fall around September to November. This is also a time when health experts have warned the peak of the epidemic influenza A/H1N1. The peak at the disease, the number of patients infected with influenza A/H1N1 - SXH will certainly not less.
According to Vu Sinh Nam, Deputy Director Department of Preventive Health and Environment - Ministry of Health, if infected with influenza A/H1N1 at - at SXH be heavy, especially with more of an impact on other diseases, to the value will be very difficult. In the meantime, only the examination and treatment of influenza A/H1N1, not just health areas that right away in big cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang ... past have revealed a lot of confusion.
If this happens the same series of patients infected with influenza A/H1N1 - SXH, the health system of our popular response would be difficult if not necessarily right for the necessary preparation.
Experience of other countries shows that in the situations, the health sector must be immediately drastic actions, especially to maximize health experts to support medical facilities not stop Left in the broadcast of general direction. Ministry of Health hope our country will in time make the script to deal not embarrassing as happened with the anti-influenza A/H1N1 support services.
