Parents must alert authorities if children fall sick
PUTRAJAYA: Parents whose children are sitting for the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) must alert the school authorities if their children are unwell so that special arrangements can be made for them to continue taking the exam.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said parents should also monitor their children?s health condition and seek medical attention for even the slightest symptom of flu.
?We also seek the co-operation of exam invigilators to isolate students who show signs of influenza-like illness (ILI) and students who are down with flu or cold must put on a face mask since the person can easily spread the disease to others,? he said yesterday.
He also said that 195 new patients were warded for ILI over the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of people being treated in hospitals nationwide to 769 patients.
He said 227 patients who have recovered had been discharged yesterday, adding that only 40 people were confirmed A(H1N1) patients with 13 of them being treated in the intensive care unit.
No new deaths have been recorded yesterday and the number of fatalities remained at 77 since Sept 19, said Dr Ismail.
?The Health Ministry cannot emphasise enough how important it is for the public not to let their guard down despite the decline in the number of H1N1 cases,? he added

Re: Malaysia - no A/H1N1 deaths for 21 days.
The Respiratory Department at Children’s Hospital No.1 is so crowded that mothers have to care for their children in the corridor.
Hand, foot and mouth has been more severe this year and is flooding hospitals with children, as are respiratory diseases, doctors in Ho Chi Minh City said.
Nearly half of inpatient children at Children’s Hospital No.’s Infection – Mental Health Department on Friday were hospitalized with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and three of them were assisted with respirators.
Truong Huu Khanh, head of the department, said the department emergency room had received several HFMD children in severe condition for several days straight.
“The children have complications with their nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems, including breathing difficulties and high blood pressure.”
HFMD patients also top the list at the Children’s Hospital No.2, with 55 admitted Friday, including seven in the emergency room.
Tran Thi Thuy, deputy head of the Infection Department at the hospital, said late September and early October was the prime time for HFMD.
Doctors said more children were catching the disease and developing more critical conditions this year than in previous years.
The 80-bed Children’s Hospital 1 was keeping more than 200 respiratory inpatients on Friday.
Tran Anh Tuan, head of the hospital Respiratory Department, said changes in the climate have caused many children under 1 year old to catch pneumonia and bronchitis.
Doctors have also warned about the high threat of dengue fever in children this month.
Le Bich Lien, head of the Dengue Fever Department at Children’s Hospital No.1, said the rate of dengue infections had lost steam this week but could return even stronger, depending on the weather and the effectiveness of prevention measures.
There have been years in which the disease has peaked in November and December, Lien said.:tiphat:
