Risk of outbreak of influenza A (H5N1)
ND - The Department of Health Preventive and Environment (Ministry of Health), on 12-3 confirmation of cases positive with the virus influenza A (H5) in Phu Ninh, Soc Son district (Hanoi). Patients are ventilation, treatment positive at the Faculty of treatment positive - Bach Mai Hospital. Investigate the epidemiology original shows, early March, the area around the patients had bird sick or dead scattered. On 11-3, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Surgeons confirmed test results positive for the virus influenza A (H5). Thus, from the beginning of the year, the country has had four cases of influenza A (H5N1), in which one person died and a case of being treated positively.

Prof., Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga, Director of Department of Health Preventive and Environment received the, translated influenza A (H5N1) in people at risk of outbreak back to the sense of prevention of the people is not high, especially in a some local areas far still status slaughtering and eating of poultry diseases. After investigating epidemiology, most patients with a history of exposure to poultry disease. Meanwhile, the situation translated influenza in poultry in our country still appear scattered. Notified by the Department of Animal Health (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), currently, both countries six provinces: Ca Mau, Nghe An, Dien Bien, Khanh Hoa, Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang with avian influenza less than 21 days. Nghe An Province is the latest recognition service influenza in poultry (on 28-2). Experts also are concerned, the existence of influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H5N1) in humans and avian influenza, along with the weather winter spring are favorable conditions for the flu virus to develop and progress spread to many localities. With the existence simultaneously of the virus H1N1 and H5N1, requires monitoring closely the situation in epidemiology and conducting research for the risk of a combination of two viruses, the variables are the virus more pathogenic dangerous than very high.

Meanwhile, at the National Conference of activity prevention and pandemic influenza in humans, Dr Le Quynh Mai, Dean viruses, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Surgeons said, through isolated more than 300 micro - virus influenza A (H5N1) in poultry and patients in the local experts have detected at least seven antigens in the virus bird flu since the viruses have in our country . The research team noted approval evolution of segments of genes between the genetic variations of flu virus, also detected with the exchange and integration between the virus influenza A (H5N1) circulation in our country ...
The analysis of molecular genetic material-virus influenza A (H5N1) in our country is that evolution is too fast the virus and are under strain highly pathogenic, with the change of antigen reduce the sensitivity of treatment flu. This is a matter dangerous to public health by the forecast of experts is not soon, then later, a new virus may appear from the recombinant of the vaccine viruses old and triggers a pandemic to the extent unpredictable. http://www.nhandan.com.vn/tinbai/?to...article=169957

Risk of new flu outbreaks
Saturday, March 13, 2010 12:08

Epidemiological experts said that the influenza A/H5N1 virus in the country is changing so fast and increasingly dangerous. Meanwhile, the risk of this disease outbreak back on the people in our country is also visible when the sense of prevention of the people remain poor.

-snip-

Day 12-3, in National Conference on prevention activities pandemic of 2009, implementation took place in 2010 in Hanoi, Dr Le Quynh Mai - Virus Dean, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Central said that the influenza A/H5N1 virus in our country is evolving too fast and are of highly pathogenic strains.

From 2001-2007, there were nine types of the virus genes circulating in our country, including five new gene phenotype was discovered in 2007 and expression of the exchange, integration between the antigens of each gene. Dr. Mai also expressed concern because the H5N1 virus has made the change of antigens reduces the sensitivity of influenza treatment.

This is a very dangerous issue for public health by the forecast of experts, not soon, then later, a new virus may appear from recombinant strains of old and triggers a pandemic with unpredictable levels.

Also at the conference, several experts said that the existence of the time influenza A/H1N1, influenza A/H5N1 avian influenza in humans and, with winter weather - spring is a favorable condition for virus influenza developed and translated into many local spread.

Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga warning, the existence of H1N1 and H5N1 virus at the same time, requires monitoring the situation closely and conduct epidemiological studies for risk combination of two virus formed other pathogenic virus more dangerous is high.

The swine flu A/H5N1 virus has mutated into seven antigen groups since it appeared in the country, according to a conference on the virus in Hanoi to discuss last year’s results and plans for 2010.

The virus’s future development would be hard to predict, Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga head of the Preventive Health and Environment Department told the national swine flu conference in Hanoi March 12.

The same day of the conference, the Preventive Health and Environment Department reported that a 25 year old woman was being treated for the virus in Bach Mai hospital in Hanoi. She had fallen sick on March 5.

Five cases, all fatal, were infected with A/H5N1 virus in 2009 nationwide, the conference heard.

In the first three months of this year in Vietnam, there have been four cases of the virus, including a 38-year old woman who died in Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang, said Nga.

Health experts warned that another new stronger virus could emerge from a combination of current strains to cause a new pandemic.

Nga said the steering committee for A/H1/N1 flu prevention needs to step up its monitoring and quarantine activities especially in hotspots in case a new more virulent strain develops.

Residents should not sell, buy or kill poultry without testing first and should never eat poultry that has died of an illness.
