Son of municipal chief in North West Thailand dies of H1N1

 

 

The son of a municipal chief in Mae Sot in North West Thailand has died after being infected with the H1N1 virus, a hospital director has confirmed.

 

Thai Rath reported that the virus was currently an epidemic across the border in Myanmar.

 

Noppaporn Khamyaeng, 38, the son of Singkharn Khamyaeng chief of Dan Mae Lamao in Mae Sot died when his heart stopped after being sent home from hospital.

 

Director of Mae Sot hospital Dr Suchart Porncharoenpong in giving his condolences to the family defended the hospital saying that it was a very unusual case of a man's heart stopping due to the virus.

 

Noppaporn had gone to the hospital with high fever, sore throat and cough.

 

Dr Suchart said he was sent home after receiving the appropriate treatment including an X-ray that showed everything was normal in his lungs.

 

He said that normally patients are alright within two to three days but that Noppaporn died after the virus entered his heart causing it to beat unusually leading to it stopping and his death.

 

It was a very surprising and unusual eventuality, he said.

Yes, totally unexpected. Never heard of before or very rare. Not!

 

Influenza infection can affect cardiac function. The recent pandemic of H1N1 influenza A provided an opportunity to study echocardiographic findings in critically ill infected patients. We hypothesised that critically ill patients with H1N1 infection would have a higher incidence of right and left heart failure than is seen in unselected populations of patients with septic shock and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We retrospectively studied all patients admitted to four intensive care units at three hospitals in Salt Lake County, UT, USA, with laboratory-confirmed H1N1 infection in whom a clinical echocardiogram was available. 23 out of 48 patients had qualifying echocardiograms. Right ventricular (RV) dilatation (50-80%) and at least moderate systolic impairment (23%) were common, higher than the range described in general populations with ARDS. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction was present in 17% of patients. No single echocardiographic parameter was associated with 28-day mortality or ventilator-free days to 28 days. Critically ill patients with H1N1 infection frequently exhibit right heart dilatation and failure. RV basal dilatation was extremely common. These patients have less left heart failure than expected on the basis of prior descriptions of influenza myopericarditis or of general populations of septic patients.

May you RIP.....very sad.

RIP ....     It is unusual that you didn't treat him correctly.

Unfortunately many people don't know what flu actually is and that it can be a killer.

Most times a cold or other fever is referred to by the sufferer as "Flu" - they are wrong, flu is quite specific has various strains is potentially lethal and there are vaccines available.

it has also been shown that diseases like flu can have after effects later in life - such as cardio-vascular.

The big problem is Doctor claim they know all. Actually they have to claim the know little.

 

And of things are known then they even deny it.

Like in a case in my family about the post effects of a flesh eating bacteria.

 

They deny the after effects of blood pressure and weight problems if one survives.

Deny and say not thru.

Also the changes of hiding in the body.

When show the study about it and the publication.

Some still deny.

 

And with viruses and bacteria it is now known that there is a threshold that makes worse or good ending.

They slowly start to understand things of what ancient wisdom tell to be aware off. Even ancient technology and medicine they now start to recognize as good or even better.

 

I not say doctors are wrong or not good. Doctors (we all) have to remind the famous words

 

The more one knows, the more one knows that one not knows.

 

 

[cumgranosalus]

"Ancient wisdom" knows nothing - if they did how come the average life expectancy was below 40 years.

 

the problem in Thailand is that healthcare workers at all levels are poorly trained and corruption sees the advancement of many who don't deserve it.

 

I don't know what you are referring to with "flesh eating bacteria"? - do you mean necrotizing fasciitis? what is the connection?

Those percentages are all based on patients already admitted to hospital critically ill, which are less than 0.1% of cases and in this case he was not critically ill, he was able to go home.  0.01% die who are infected, about 10% of those from heart complications, if 1in 100,000 is not rare then what is?  As for someone who is not critically ill but also dying from complications, well that would be far less common again, so it was normal for the doctor to be surprised and it is indeed an unexpected occurrence.  Also to note, what you have posted is not even nearly conclusive, it is not even of the standard of a scientific theory, but merely a hypothesis, the knowledge of how this disease effects the heart is still being gathered, studying 48 critically ill patients does not tell us much at all, unfortunately this complication has been overlooked in the past due to much more common serious complications, but no doubt it will still be overlooked in cases such as this where the patient is not critically as there remains such a tiny chance of developing such a complication.

No confirmation if tambon chief’s son succumbed to H1N1

By Somjit Rungjamrasrassamee  
The Nation

 

Test results on the late son of the president of Tambon Dan Mae Lamao Administrative Organisation in the border province of Tak, have yet to confirm if he suffered from the H1N1 influenza, which has infected 99 people and caused 13 deaths in Myanmar recently.

 

Mae Sot Hospital director Dr Suchat Porncharoenpong said on Thursday that Nopporn Khamyaeng, 43, had sought treatment for flu-like symptoms (cough, runny nose and high fever) at the hospital shortly before his death on Tuesday. 

 

Despite speculation on Thai social media that Nopporn, who reportedly frequently crossed the border into Myanmar where he ran a business, died from the H1N1, Suchat said the initial lab test had only identified he had Type-A influenza. The hospital was still awaiting confirmation from further lab tests if he carried the H1N1 strain, he said. “The patient’s cause of death could be a chronic illness like a heart disease or the H1N1 influenza,” he said, adding that many people have recently sought treatments for flu at this hospital and recovered within 3-4 days.

 

It was reported that Nopporn, who is reported to be generally healthy, had suddenly developed flu-like symptoms, which he succumbed to, following a trip to Myanmar where he stayed for 10 days. 

 

Nopporn's death spread fear among Thai social media users who thought and widely discussed online that the H1N1 outbreak in Myanmar, could spread to Thailand. To calm public fears, Thai health officials had earlier assured people that the H1N1 virus was not a new strain. “We have been closely monitoring the situation and it’s the strain covered by the vaccine we have been giving to at-risk groups for free,” Disease Control Department director-general Jedsada Chokdamrongsuk said on August 3.

The real risk is with the birds that spread the disease. Borders do not stop the birds nor the disease they carry.

A few years ago, the vast lakes around Kabinburi were known for the  annual migration of birds.

You will not even see a sparrow fly around these lakes now. A few years ago H1N1 decimated the poultry industry.

Suddenly all the migrating birds vanished. They are not back
