The reason for the epidemic of pneumonia among conscripts lies in vaccination
From Moscow, Podolsk came the tragic news in the military district hospital № 1586 from pneumonia died four soldiers of which came from different units. Do not want to give a bad prognosis, but perhaps these are not the last death: hospital patients crowded conscripts. The military prosecutor's office started to check what happened.According to one theory, all fault - wrong system of vaccination. But it turned out the "MK", ​​do not write off the denial of medical care, and disregard for the lives of new recruits.
pneumonia Podolsk conscript soldiers death soldier
Severe disease claimed the lives of four soldiers in the New Year. All of them were in the hospital Podolsk, where chances of recovery they have virtually no. December 26, never regained consciousness and died a soldier of the 27th motorized brigade Eugene Tyulenev.And three days later killed 19-year-old Zakir Kuchekaev from Bashkiria and 23-year-old Dmitry Sokolov of the Kaluga region. A week later, he died 20 years Sergey Sweden. All the victims have put one diagnosis: acute bilateral bacterial viral pneumonia.
19-year-old Zakir Kuchekaeva urged November 13 of the Bashkir city Meleuz. Young handsome guy differed good health. Professional kickboxing. Before the call was in college at the bank employee. In general, the army was ready and mentally, and physically. Give back to the motherland he decided, were not forced to. An example was the elder brother of Dinis.
- His assigned to a military unit near Naro-Fominsk, which train gunners. At first everything was fine, no matter what Zakir complained - said Dinis Kuchekaev. - In early December, he got sick, cough. He was diagnosed with SARS - and gave the pills. Treated in the infirmary, but the condition did not improve his brother, then put him in the hospital. There he went on the mend, and the doctors promised him even write. But just before the discharge Zakir was in intensive care. From 26 to 29 December, we could not get through to him. On 29 December we reported that Zakir died of bilateral pneumonia ...
When the family Kuchekaevyh reported the tragic news, they thought that Zakir could severely beaten. However, the body of a young man was clean, with no injuries and bruising. Man buried on January 6. His family are still in shock. "How could this happen?" - Do not stop to question people.
Incidentally, according to Dinis, the younger brother said that along with it is another ill colleague.
In a military unit under the carpet, where the disease caught Dmitry Sokolov, bill goes to the patient scores. And military doctors say the hospital near Moscow crowded seriously ill soldiers infected in parts. According to preliminary data, the number of cases of lung infection is more than two dozen people.
Because the Defense Ministry has been slow to comment on what is happening in the media began to appear frightening assumptions. For example, some media spread the message that the soldiers may have died from SARS. However, Russia's chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko has categorically denied the report.
- If this actually happened, the military doctors would find the opportunity to inform us about it - the head of Rospotrebnadzor "Interfax".
After the commotion risen Defense Ministry reported that soldiers had served in various military units in the Western Military District, where they were taken to the hospital because of Podolsk negative dynamics of the disease. Military medical hospital had regular Concilia with leading pulmonologists Defense and used modern medications and treatment techniques.However undertaken intensive comprehensive treatment, with leading specialists of the Central Military Clinical Hospital. A.A.Vishnevskogo and the Military Medical Academy. Kirov, could not turn the tide. Defense believes that the "treatment of all four soldiers conducted appropriately, using all necessary methods of care."
However, it should be noted that the military cunning. They are well acquainted with the problem of mass morbidity conscripts. After all, this is not the first outbreak of the deadly virus. So why has killed young people? The answer was obvious: the system of vaccination can not be any criticism.
- The countdown to start from 2000. Recruits get sick because commanders to the last draw, without sending them to the hospital. Like, you do not want to serve, to take time off - commented a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Secretary of the Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia Valentina Melnikova. - But the main cause of mortality in the army is the system of vaccination. Soldiers do while four inoculations. About a week the body adapts and becomes vulnerable, almost like AIDS. The man disappears completely immune. Any cold can lead to death. And this situation - only in the Defense Ministry. For example, the internal troops vaccinated gradually.One injection per month. Therefore, there is no death.
According to human rights activist, to this we must add that the soldiers forced naked in the freezing cold to do exercises.
Melnikova agree with the president and the human rights group "Citizen. Army. Right "Sergei Krivenko. According to him, the causes of morbidity recruits must also include failure to provide medical care, drug supply shortages, lack of training of military units for the heating season and autosorsing - attraction to service parts thereto. This system introduced former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov. And, as a rule, they will not reach the troops.

Ebola suspected in Mubende district

Publish Date: Jan 11, 2013
 - Health state minister Sarah Opendi and other senior ministry officials dashed to Mubende hospital Friday morning following suspicions of an Ebola outbreak in the area.          
Mubende district health officer (DHO), Dr. Wilson Mubiru said two five-year-old children were admitted on Thursday night while vomiting blood – a symptom that was hurriedly linked to Ebola.           

The children were from different families.

Earlier rumours had put the number of patients admitted at the hospital to four and that three had died on spot.           
However, Mubiru and the hospital director Dr. Edward Nkrunziza told New Vision online that there were only two patients.           

Besides, the doctors have since called for calm, saying that it was unlikely for the patients to be Ebola cases.           

“We have forwarded blood tests to the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) in Entebbe. Although we are yet to get the results, we highly doubt whether this is Ebola,” said Dr. Mubiru.           

Save for vomiting, Mubiru said the patients showed no other Ebola-like symptoms.           

Dr. Nkrunziza also explained that the patients’ condition had “significantly improved” at around 10am on Friday.           

The development comes as the health ministry is preparing to declare Luweero district Ebola-free on January 16, if no new cases are registered in the area.           

About five people died of Ebola in Luweero late last year.           

The declaration will follow the completion of the 42 days countdown period since the last patient was discharged from the isolation Centre.

The ministry has also just declared Kabale and Ibanda districts free of Marburg, another infectious viral disease.           

Health ministry Permanent Secretary Asuman Lukwago said his ministry is working with the Environment and Wildlife ministries to ensure that the animals and birds that spread both Ebola and Marburg disease are wiped out. http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/638818-ebola-suspected-in-mubende-district.html

US Week 1 P&I Death Rate Crosses Epidemic Threshold


US Week 1 P&I Death Rate Crosses Epidemic Threshold
Recombinomics Commentary 12:00
January 11, 2013
Today’s CDC FluView (week 1) will show that the Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) death rate for the United States (7.3%) will cross the epidemic threshold, which is not unexpected.  Last week (week 52) the rate of 7.0% was just below the threshold of 7.1%, and the flu epidemic, particularly the cases due to H3N2, was starting to take off in the northern portion of the country. 

Deaths are a trailing indicator and numbers reported for week 1 were striking in several states.  In Pennsylvania there were 3 deaths in week 52, bring the season’s total to 4, but in week 1 there were 18 more deaths.  Similarly in Minnesota the seasonal total at the end of week 52 was also 4, but there were 23 more deaths in week 1, once again signaling that the spike in cases seen in late December was translating to a spike in deaths (and hospitalizations) in early 2013.


The above state reports are for lab confirmed cases, which represent a tiny fraction of the total deaths.  This season H3N2 is dominating, and the elderly are targeted, leading to significant outbreaks in long term care facilities.  In most cases the patients are not tested for flu and therefore not included in the reports of confirmed hospitalizations or deaths.  However, the P&I total is based on patients who have influenza or pneumonia indicated on death certificates, which are used to determine a rate based on the total number of death certificates from the 122 largest cities in the United States.
The totals for the end and beginning of the calendar year may be impacted by holidays. So the number of P&I and total deaths are somewhat reduced due to reporting delays.  However, the large spike in lab confirmed hospitalizations and deaths indicate a rate above the epidemic threshold will also be seen in the upcoming weeks when holiday effects diminish.

In addition to the P&I rate and the total number of confirmed deaths, the death of adolescents (children under the age of 18) is also tallied.

Reporting of adolescent deaths of lab confirm cases is now mandatory in the US due to the high number of deaths in the 2003/2004 season, which were not tallied because such deaths were not reportable.  The new regulations allow for more accurate determinations, although many such deaths are not lab confirmed and therefore not reported.  The reporting of these cases also frequently lags because a report has to be filed and lab confirmation may produce delays. 

Today’s FluView will have 2 additional cases (from Kansas and Texas) to bring the season total to 20, but the number of media or state lab reported cases is already at least 33, reflecting the lag as well as the lack of lab confirmation (although the vast majority of the 13 cases not included in the week 1 report are lab confirmed and reported by the state labs.

Drugmakers report U.S. shortages of flu vaccine, Tamiflu

UPDATE 1-Drugmakers report U.S. shortages of flu vaccine, Tamiflu

Jan 10 (Reuters) - This year's early and potentially severe flu season has created shortages of the children's formulation of the leading treatment and most forms of the top-selling flu vaccine in the United States, according to their manufacturers.

Roche Holding AG told Reuters late on Wednesday that it had a shortage of the liquid formulation of Tamiflu, which is used mainly to slow down or stop the symptoms of the flu in children already infected with the virus.
Roche said the company had informed wholesalers and distributors in recent weeks that they would face temporary delays in shipments. Pharmacists can create a substitute oral formulation by dissolving Tamiflu capsules into a sweet liquid, according to Tara Iannuccillo, spokeswoman for Roche's Genentech unit, which makes Tamiflu.
Sanofi SA, the largest flu vaccine provider in the United States, said on Thursday that it had sold out of four of its six formulations of its Fluzone seasonal flu vaccine due to the unanticipated late-season demand for vaccines.
"At this point we are not able to make any more vaccine because we are gearing up for next year's vaccine," said Michael Szumera, a spokesman for Sanofi.
Most of the United States is nearing peak levels seen during moderately severe flu seasons, according to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. As of last Friday, the percentage of people seeing health care providers for influenza had increased for the previous four consecutive weeks to 5.6 percent. That compares with 2.2 percent the previous year when flu was mild.
