Diphteria comes from ?corynebacterium diphteriae" , not a virus.
Children are given a routine immunisation, but you don't have a 100 % coverage. Unimmunized children in this colder season could be vulnerable for diphteria.
Rare diphtheria virus, but more ferocious than Avian Influenza
If [it] enters the heart, life vanishes
28/12/2008 10:33:53 the diphtheria VIRUS that was classified as rare, began to be guarded against following was treated by him a pre-schooler in RS Pandan Arang Boyolali because of being expected to be infected with the deadly virus that it seems crueller than avian influenza (AI) or bird flu.
To confirm, the Public Regional Hospital side (RSUD) Arang Boyolali Pandanus carried out the laboratory test and the patient that currently berstatus ?suspect difteri? was treated especially in isolation space.
Director RSUD PANDAN ARANG Boyolali, Dr Umi Hanik said, results of the
doctor's diagnosis, the patient that still the pre-schoolers ?suspect difteri?. This appeared apart from the sign that was caused hot high, in the cavity part in the mouth was found spotty white and the throat hurt if swallowing food.
?In a manner clinical, we suspected this patient of being affected by the virus difteri,? Umi Hanik words that at once visited the patient in the child's ward Saturday (27/12). According to Umi Hanik, this diphtheria illness including the virus spread. Not only children that terjangkit this virus, but the adult's circle then also could terjangkit the virus that including rare in Boyolali and the surrounding area.
Umi personally also surprised the reason for the virus that be equal to avian influenza (AI) this could emerge. In fact the diphtheria virus could emerge from the child that is not vaccinated since childhood. So as to be able to spread this virus to the other person through breathing. His side afterwards at once carried out a series of laboratory test against the sample swap the patient.
Currently the patient is treated in space of the child's isolation so that this virus does not go out and is carried the wind entered the person's other breathing. If was not helped, this virus could creep into the heart of the patient. If entering the heart, the patient instantly was killed. So must be carried out by the repeated immunisation in order to the more serious diphtheria attack not happen.
The RS side currently is on the alert, because of the virus that originated from ?corynebacterium diphteriae? that could enter the human body every time. Moreover the baby or children that not yet diimunisasi.
The patient who was expected terjangkit the deadly virus of Titin Nurhandayani (5.5) the resident Jojor, Siwal, of Kaliwungu, Semarang. He already 10 days were treated in RSUD Pandan Arang Boyolali with the special supervision of the team of the doctor.
When being met in E space of the isolation of the ward child, Satini (40) the mother Titin will say, around mid December, Titin experienced hot high. At that point by Satini only dikompres then. The reason his hot week will never abate, then Satini broke memeriksakan Titin to the hospital.
