Wandan residents do not have swine flu, preliminary checks find

PINTUNG, Taiwan -- The many villagers in southern Taiwan who developed fevers in the wake of Typhoon Morakot were preliminarily cleared of suspicion of A(H1N1) infection, health authorities said Monday. Lin Ting, director-general of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), said that more than 30 residents in the flood-affected Wandan township in Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, have developed fevers since Aug. 17, and 13 of them have been hospitalized.

However, in all cases, the symptoms were different from those of swine flu, Lin said, adding that the CDC is carrying out tests to determine the cause of the patients' illness.

Those who developed fevers and sore muscles might have contracted other types of viruses while they were cleaning up their flooded homes in the wake of Typhoon Morakot, CDC officials suggested.

Meanwhile, officials from the Pingtung County Public Health Bureau said Monday that all the Wandan residents who had reported having fevers were lucid and in stable condition.

The health authorities called for Pingtung residents to wear waterproof gear, including rubber boots, when cleaning up areas flooded by the storm.

The authorities warned that in flood affected areas there is risk of outbreaks of diseases such dysentery, exogenous febrile disease, cholera, amoebic dysentery, leptospirosis and dengue fever.
