PARIS - The epidemic of influenza A reported yesterday a brutal surge in Europe, where in the last hours were infected 27 children in a colony of France on holiday and the increased number of deaths in Britain and Spain.
While there are doubts about the possibility of quickly with an effective vaccine, the European countries are preparing to face another major impact of the pandemic that caused over 440 deaths and nearly 100,000 cases, according to the latest statistics released by the World Health (WHO).
In France, which until now had 434 patients infected with influenza A (H1N1) epidemic had a sudden outbreak with new cases involving 23 preteens in the Paris area, who were on a vacation near Cologne from Meg?ve, in the Alps. A few hours later there were four new cases, which included three adults working in the framework of adolescents.
Before reaching the proportions of the situation, all youth were confined and isolated to prevent spread of risk, reported Jean-Yves Hazoum?, deputy (deputy) in the region. The police set up a cordon sanitaire around the establishment and also to avoid the possible access of visitors and relatives.
Specialists fear that the emergence of these 27 cases in the Alps mark the beginning of a rapid escalation of the pandemic in Europe, where 18 were killed.
Apparently, the main focus is epidemic in Britain, where there are at least 10,000 confirmed cases, which caused 15 deaths, according to the BBC. The 3 last month, the British secretary of Health, Andy Burnham, acknowledged to the House of Commons on the seriousness of the situation: "The cases are increasing every week. If we continue at this rate, 100,000 cases are expected per day since August, "he said. Given that the disease has a mortality rate of one per 2500 cases, experts cited by the newspaper The Independent might have calculated that "40 deaths per day in September."
According to these figures, Britain is the country most affected by the epidemic, after the United States and Mexico, according to BBC Radio 1. (Argentina, with 94 deaths reported so far, is actually the third country in number of deaths, but with fewer infections, at least officially known.)
The dimensions which reached epidemic in Britain is creating an atmosphere of panic, recognized Paula Higson, chief operative of the National Health Service: "We are receiving between 6000 and 7000 people per day who think they are infected with the A (H1N1) he said.
In Spain, the second European country on the number of people affected by the epidemic behind the United Kingdom, the situation also presents critical after a third death recorded on Thursday in Las Palmas (Canary Islands). As in Britain, in Spain the spread grows at a rate of 90 to 100 new cases per day, said the Ministry of Health. Overall, in 1034 contaminated the country, including some serious cases.
