Abstract:
Data on 40 patients (21 men, 19 women) who died in hospital of influenza in 1975-1990 are analysed. The age of the patients ranged from 47 to 92 years, 37 patients were over 60. 31 deceased had ischemic heart disease (IHD), of them 13 survived myocardial infarction; 11 patients had essential hypertension, 1--lymphoid leukemia, 1--pollenosis. Influenza caused by virus of A type (H3N2) was diagnosed in 27 patients. Influenza virus type B was detected in 13 patients. The disease ran a hypertoxic, severe and moderate course in 3, 20 and 17 patients, respectively. Influenza complicated with pneumonia in 23 cases, with hemorrhagic edema in 4 patients. The lethal outcome was caused by acute cardiovascular failure (n = 20) including acute myocardial infarction (n = 9), pulmonary edema (n = 9), pulmonary artery thromboembolism (n = 8). Influenza remains a serious disease especially for the elderly with IHD.
