Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, director of the Tropical Disease Hospital Central (Hanoi) said: From the onset of illness until hospitalization, 2 patients did not receive immediate treatment with Tamiflu is only when severe new drug, it is then too late. Meanwhile, in the first 3 days of early diagnosis, if the dose is doubled risk of death much reduced.
He therefore recommended Glass: "If you suspect the flu, Tamiflu should be used immediately. We have no shortage of drugs, the problem is not detected early, avoid the risk of death ".
Mr. Nguyen Trong Khoa, Deputy Director of medical management agrees with this view and said the two deaths, from the onset of disease until treatment regimen H5N1 flu take up to 4 days, 5-6 days after the victim died. Not to mention the disease rapidly changes, and another is pregnant.
Also this excerpt:
Specifically, the first patients confirmed with H5N1 have died after signs of disease and 6 days.
Case 2 also visits two times at the hospital and was prescribed Tamiful, A/H5N1 flu cure at day 5 of illness.
