Common bond: H1N1 flu victims were all overweight

The Health Ministry yesterday confirmed four deaths from the Influenza
A/H1N1 virus. The victims all had a common link-morbid obesity.
The victims-three men and one woman-died in the Intensive Care Unit of
the San Fernando General Hospital this week. Another man also died at
the facility, but from seasonal flu.
Yesterday, executive medical director of the hospital Dr Albert Persad
said the international literature confirms that people who are
excessively overweight suffer more severely from the virus. "So that
it is now a very strong contender as a risk factor for people with
H1N1 illness to progress to a very severe level."
Vishraj Maharaj, 30, one of the confirmed "swine flu" victims who died
on Tuesday, was overweight, but in otherwise good health.
Persad said at any stage, the illness can progress to a critical
level.
"We have now only started to see the severe forms of the illness... we
are only one or two weeks into this and... it is always difficult to
tell the extent to which the virus will affect people in the community
and how many people will continue into the moderate or severe stage."
The dead are all believed to be from a relatively small area of
Trinidad and epidemiologists are trying to find out if the victims
made contact.
Persad said all the relatives of those who died or who tested positive
for the virus must also be tested.
So far, at least 250 people have been tested in South for the "swine
flu" virus, most of whom have come back negative. But there were
people throughout the country with H1N1 at a mild level, he said.
Hospital medical director Dr Stephen Ramroop said the first two
patients to die the hospital went in on Monday, and their positive
tests were confirmed by the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre.
