Influenza Virus A (H1N1)
State Health Department confirmed that the graduate student employee from the TSU and the Secretary of Education of Tamaulipas (SET), Juan, died of influenza virus A (H1N1).
The epidemiologist of the Health Ministry, Alfredo Rodríguez Trujillo, said that Hernandez Aguilar, 39 years old, died yesterday at the General Hospital of Ciudad Victoria and shared their activities in the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (UAT) and the SET.
“The patient was admitted to hospital six days ago with pneumonia complicated problem, and studies of the state laboratory confirmed she died of influenza A (H1N1), referred Rodriguez Trujillo.
The official admitted that the case of university teachers is a case in point, since arriving as patient did not have another condition, which means that this would be the first human death from influenza) of 2010 in Tamaulipas.
“As a new disease it generates more problems because any person can be complicated, as is the case.
The person may be in very good condition, but in the natural course of the disease can cause complications as in the case of Hernandez Aguilar “he said.
He detailed the epidemiologist Hernandez Aguilar “came with a very acute pneumonia and did not respond to treatment.”
Trujillo Rodriguez dismissed the possibility that the virus had mutated into a strain, which alone causes the death and could affect any person without any disease involved.
“We’ve been in meetings in Monterrey, where one of the topics was the flu, and the national commissioner on this issue and studies do not speak the virus has mutated, there is no evidence this is happening,” he said.
