Half a year after deltoid muscular dystrophy in children in Nghi Xuan and Ha Tinh districts was discovered, the situation of this disease still heated up in many localities. Mr. Tran Van Lang, former Director of Hanoi Preventive Medicine Center, said that the cause of the disease may be due to vaccination.
- According to you, what factors can lead to deltoid muscle atrophy?

In my opinion, perhaps due to injection. Previously I learned and was told that by injecting the deltoid muscle, there was a hat nerve, there would be less pain. But it seems like we put too many injections into it. Without germs, what viruses affect it. The cause is certainly due to mechanics, because I inject many things into one location. I think that impact is essential. If the injection is spread out, the injection in the thigh, the injection into the biceps . is probably okay. But injecting one place definitely has certain impacts.
- In the work of scientists participating in the research project of deltoid muscular dystrophy in Ha Tinh, there were suggestions that deltoid muscle atrophy was caused by injection of some oil-containing drugs or drugs such as lincomicin and steptomycin. . What do you think?
- Obviously, the injectable oil will be affected, because after the injection the oil will be very cold. Swallowing because it affects nerves. If you inject more oil, it will be very harmful.
- What is the cause of vaccination, sir?
- I have not thought about it, because vaccines are required to meet standards, the dose of injections is very small, but the whole world is injected, not only Vietnam. Here I want to talk about injecting many things into one place, maybe having some medicine, the other and having vaccines, not just vaccines.
- Previously, the Department of Training Science (Ministry of Health) said that it is necessary to study the environment in areas where many people suffer from delta muscle atrophy to see if there is any problem, what do you think?
- Probably not, the children are born normally. Only impact by injection, no other factors affect. As I said, on anatomy, where the deltoid muscle has a cervical nerve, there is little signaling, so people often inject it there to relieve the pain. The deltoid muscle is affected early, causing much impact, causing atrophy and sagging.
I was injured in my left hand when I was in the war, and then I had to inject into my right hand when I had to inject. My right hand is now hard to move, there is a stretch of muscle, sometimes it becomes numb. At the age of maturity like me, the consequences are only that, but if at a younger age, can there be other consequences?
- What about the quality of the medicine does it affect, sir?
- Obviously influential. As I said, injecting oil into corn is reluctant. I do preventive medicine to see whether people also inject this deltoid area. Not to mention the deep agricultural injection is also affected. Deep injections are much nicer than shallow, but they affect more nerves.
- Expanded immunization program and 'service vaccines' make children inject dozens of times, not to mention adulthood. According to him, what to do to avoid the consequences of injection?
- There should be certain regulations on where to inject. Many when intramuscularly, subcutaneous injections are confused. Then shallow and deep injection is also unclear. Even in some cases of BCG vaccination, the skin is very thin and requires injections in the skin, but only a little bit is down to the skin and thus causing a very large ulcer, but the right injection is only a very stain small. Injection techniques are also not simple.
- On May 10, a boy over 1 year old died after being vaccinated. According to him, is the transportation and preservation of vaccines in Vietnam guaranteed?
- To check, see vaccines coming to commune and ward levels are preserved in cold chain. But when I don't go to check, I don't know how. Then vaccines moved from the commune to the villages, so it was unknown whether or not to ensure it. However, the vaccination is not good, the vaccination is considered to be no, at the end, I inject water and not vaccines.
Not excluded are some places where vaccines do not guarantee quality. Certainly there are reckless places. Someone is good, but not sure. Don't say 100 injections are all 100 good. So before every vaccination campaign, people have to be very attentive, to make it clear to parents that such injections are in the afternoon with fever, pain .
Fever is accepted, not good injection makes children bleed, it is acceptable, but the death of the child will greatly affect the vaccination. Poor preparation, not caring is very dangerous.
On the morning of May 11, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trong Hieu, former Director of the Maternal and Child Health Department (Ministry of Health), said that the cause of deltoid muscle atrophy was injection into nerves in the deltoid muscle.Another reason is K-cort abuse to treat allergies, asthma treatment, joint syndrome .
K-cort injections help ease pain so there are many doctors who consider this as their 'secret' of treatment, to increase their personal prestige without thinking about the long-term consequences.
According to the Ministry of Health, there are now more than 2,000 people suffering from deltoid muscle atrophy in about 10 localities.The latest locality found children infected in Bac Giang province.Currently, there are 1,200 children undergoing surgery and some donors contact the Vietnam Children Support Fund to sponsor some surgeries for the children this summer.
However, the number of infected children will continue to increase because the Ministry of Health has sent official letters to localities to review and statistically report the number of infected people, to report to the Ministry of Health before 25/5.In addition to causes due to deltoid intravenous injection, many health experts believe that the quality of vaccines and quality of drugs are also important causes of this disease in children.
