H1N1 flu outbreak kills 17 in Venezuela: media

CARACAS (Reuters) - An outbreak of H1N1 flu has killed 17 people in Venezuela and infected another 250, private media and local authorities said on Monday.

H1N1, often referred to as swine flu, was a flu strain that swept around in the world in a 2009/2010 pandemic.

"We're suffering a tail-end of the pandemic," a former Venezuelan health minister, Rafael Orihuela, told a local TV station, commenting on the widespread reports of 17 deaths in the South American nation of 29 million people.

Most of the cases were in border states near Colombia.

Venezuela's government has not confirmed the figures given by media and local health authorities. But officials said high-risk groups had largely been immunized, with 3 million vaccinations carried out so far this year.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) official data show 18,500 people were reported killed in the 2009/2010 H1N1 pandemic, but a study in The Lancet last year said the actual death toll may have been up to 15 times higher at more than 280,000.

Triple H injury update

Monday, May 27 update: Triple H will not be at tonight's Raw
WWE.com spoke with Dr. Chris Amann today and learned that Triple H suffered no further damage, but he was advised not to travel to tonight?s Raw.

"We were able to able to do some further neurologic as well as neuropsychological testing on Triple H," said Dr. Amann. "The results of all that were normal, but we?ve recommended for him to stay at home and continue to rest. We expect him to be medically cleared by the middle of this week."

May 21 update:
After a?savage Steel Cage battle with Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules, a physically battered Triple H was unable to continue in his match against impressive new Paul Heyman client Curtis Axel on Monday night's Raw.

On Tuesday, WWE.com spoke with WWE physician Dr. Michael Sampson, who gave an update on the status of The Cerebral Assassin.

"After the pay-per-view match on Sunday, we advised (Triple H) on Monday that he shouldn't wrestle because of head and jaw trauma he suffered from the sledgehammer attack by Brock Lesnar," Dr. Sampson explained to WWE.com. "Obviously, we saw what happened Monday night: He went against medical advice and tried to wrestle. Luckily, he pulled himself out."

After further evaluation, Sampson said The Game is still exhibiting some post-concussion symptoms and he'll be held out of action until WWE's medical staff can conduct further neurological tests.

"At this point, the neurological exams are all normal," Sampson added. "But we will continue to employ neuropsychological testing to get a better idea how he?s doing mentally, as far as reaction time, thought process and so on."

Sampson noted the additional neurological tests will likely be conducted near the end of this week, once The Game's headache has subsided.

Check back with WWE.com for any future medical updates on Triple H as they become available.
