Pathological anatomy of flu in Yakutia in 2009
Abstract
Results of the analysis of the clinical picture and pathologic anatomy of 4 cases of severe influenza during the period autumn-winter 2009 in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) are presented. The predominance of the different phases of diffuse alveolar lesion with blocking of vascular walls of the alveoli with massive hyaline membranes, which indicates that purely viral pneumonias with development of early acute respiratory failure, infectious-toxic shock with the affection of several organs is noted. Adherence of bacterial flora does not always happen. Analysis of observations of the dead in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) suggests that regardless of the version of the influenza virus, pathological changes are stereotypic. It should also be noted that pulmonary ventilation was not carried out in any observation, and patients did not receive adequate antiviral therapy.
