That's what conspirators do to try to deny the truth.<br /><br />I get called a conspiracy theorist all the time because I write about how Pharma has been intentionally causing autism since 1999 with the mercury in the flu shot that they give to pregnant women. So what? It IS a conspiracy. That's why nobody will tell you the truth about autism except parents who had it happen to their kids.John Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887042850810474814.post-48491733406492463382009-11-10T16:44:12.813-05:002009-11-10T16:44:12.813-05:00hi.

The phrase "hemorrhagic pneumonia" is somewhat outdated, and most<br />clinicians will not use the term to describe this condition, which can be a very rare<br />complication of viral respiratory infection. Some other terms that can be used to<br />describe this include diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), which can be caused by<br />infections but doesn't have to be, and hemorrhagic pneumonitis. In any event, it's a<br />serious complication that will sometimes lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome<br />(ARDS). It occurs very rarely as a complication of seasonal influenza, and there is some<br />concern that it might be more common in H1N1 infections.<br />The CDC is asking state health officials to look out for possible cases that may involve<br />clusters of patients who might have these symptoms, or a large proportion of cases with<br />these symptoms (e.g., 4 of 5 deaths). They will invariably be among the most severely ill<br />influenza patients (i.e., deaths, ICU patients).<br />This is a hard diagnosis to make, and the most telling symptom may be hemoptysis<br />(bloody sputum, frothy bloody cough), although not all cases will have it.<br />• Acute onset of rather more severe respiratory infection (dyspnea‐‐ difficulty<br />breathing‐‐ is common)<br />• Hemoptysis is often seen on initial presentation (~70% of cases)<br />• CXR and physical exam will suggest alveolar infiltrates (radiographic opacities)<br />• Diagnosis is usually made by BAL (brochoalveolar lavage) and pathology testing<br />(increasingly more hemorrhagic fluid/secretions from sequential BAL<br /><br />Email sent by the Regional Liaison Officer, Region IV, H1N1 Response Surveillance and<br />Epidemiology Team, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<br /><br />Questions concerning possible cases or this email may be directed to Medical Epidemiologist<br />Zach Moore, MD, at the North Carolina Division of Public health at zach.moore@dhhs.nc.gov."Peter Louisnoreply@blogger.com
