AH1N1 flu is a viral disease that can spread through contact with sick people or in an environment where the virus is found. This flu can cause severe acute respiratory failure (oxygen does not reach the lungs) and affects more people with weakened immune systems.
Es Salud currently has four patients in treatment for H1N1 flu, one of them in critical condition. Gordillo said that security measures have been taken to prevent contagion. "The first person who died came from Lima and already sick, he did not have it here," said the doctor.
Edgar Tejada Vásquez, director of epidemiology at the Regional Directorate of Health, informed that apart from the 4 people killed by AH1N1, there are 27 confirmed patients with this disease. Many of them have already recovered satisfactorily. ❧
