The Fenestanil is a synthetic opiate, that is, produced in the laboratory, originally used as analgesic and anesthetic. The substance is about 100 times more powerful than morphine and 50 times more powerful than heroin, therefore it is often used for medical purposes, both for short -term analgesia during the anesthetic period or if necessary in the postoperative period.
What the dead caused
The main suspicion of the authorities is the administration of Fenetanil contaminated by bacteria to patients hospitalized in intensive care units. The investigation line came after the Italian hospital of La Plata, where the first cases were recorded, having filed a complaint to the Federal Court.
According to the institution, the suspicion was the result of an internal investigation to study unusual clinical behavior by the drug, according to the information of the La Nación.
Two bacteria called Klebsiella Pneumoniae were found to produce metal-bactamase (MBL) and Ralstonia Pickettii in the opioid produced by the HLB Pharma laboratory, whose hospital had acquired a lot with 10,000 5 ml ampoules through Nueva era Pharmacy.
Where the cases were recorded
The first cases were reported in March to La Plata. After more than a dozen relatives of the victims began to protest and denounce the case, in May, similar cases began to emerge in Buenos Aires and in the provinces of Santa Fe, Formosa and Cordoba, according to the judge responsible for the trial, Ernesto Kreplak La Nación.
How are the investigations
After accepting the complaint of the Italian hospital, the bacteria were found in the stocks of the HLB pharmaceutical laboratory. The administration was prohibited and the production interrupted. Kreplak said in a recent interview that is awaiting relationships of decisive experts. The main objective of the investigation is to determine how contamination has occurred.
The expectation is that at least two lots have been contaminated. The president of the Health Commission of the House of Representatives, Pablo Yedlin, warned that almost 40,000 daughters must have been managed in the country. About 100,000 were recovered. “It is a very serious situation,” underlined the parliamentarian on Thursday 14, to the Argentine press.
What the company says
HLB Pharma denied the accusations. According to them, everything was “a multimedia frame”. “All medical records show that patients had other more dangerous bacteria, people with serious problems,” said Ariel GarcÃa Furfaro to the Argentine newspaper ClarÃn.
What Milei says
The Argentine president Javier Milei accused the supporters of the former president Cristina Kirchner of having covered the owner of the laboratory responsible for drug production. In a speech, he also said that those who vote for the opponent were contaminated by “mental parasites” and that the good people cannot let them escape “unpunished”.
