Human-to-human spread of swine flu confirmed in Turkey


A new case of swine flu has been diagnosed in Turkey, the first case the country has seen of a person contracting the virus from another person, health officials confirmed on Saturday.

In a statement released by the Health Ministry, an individual was reportedly diagnosed with swine flu after close contact with a patient who had the virus. The news came as the global spread of swine flu prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise its pandemic alert to Phase 6, on a six-level scale, indicating increased human-to-human spread of the virus and early pandemic status.

The statement noted that it was Turkey's first case of a patient contracting the virus from another person. ?An individual who was in close contact with a person who had just returned to Turkey from abroad has been diagnosed with swine flu. The patient is in good condition and is still under observation. The number of swine flu cases in Turkey has risen to 23,? the statement reported. Twenty-two individuals, including eight foreigners and 14 Turks returning home from foreign countries, had been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus before this most recent case.

Professor Haluk Eraksoy, head of the Turkish Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Foundation, warned citizens of this new nature of the pandemic. ?Swine flu cases were, till now, brought to the country from the United States or Canada; however, this new case has been contracted from another person. This shows that this virus can spread to others after close contact. Thus, our citizens should be watchful against carelessness. The slightest carelessness may lead to the spread of the virus to others,? Eraksoy stated.

Health Minister Recep Akdağ reassured citizens that there would be no major spread of swine flu over the summer, adding that all necessary precautions had been taken in Turkey. "We do not expect any serious spread of H1N1 flu this summer. Human-to-human transmission is anticipated, but we have taken some very aggressive precautions over the last few months," Akdağ said.

Turkey identified its first two swine flu cases in May, in a family traveling to Iraq from the United States. Thermal imaging cameras at the İstanbul Atat?rk Airport detected that two of the family members had high fevers. They were put under observation at Haseki Hospital and were released from the hospital one week later, after their condition had returned to normal.

Turkish hospital discharges swine flu patient before confirming tests

ISTANBUL - A Turkish hospital discharged a man later diagnosed with swine flu before the results of his tests were confirmed, according to reports on Monday.

The 27-year-old Turkish man, who arrived in the country from Australia, was admitted to a hospital in the northwestern province of Tekirdag after displaying flu symptoms last week.

He was placed in quarantine and was under observation for three hours, Dogan News Agency, or DHA, said.

The man was discharged from hospital after the test results of his wife, who was admitted to an Istanbul hospital showing similar symptoms, returned negative for the deadly virus, head of the local health authority in Tekirdag, Ugur Caglayan told DHA.

"His wife had also been admitted to a hospital in Istanbul, but no swine flu virus was detected. This led us to think that the man had the same strain of flu as his wife and we discharged him," he said.

Laboratory tests, however, later tests showed the patient was infected with H1N1, the formal name for swine flu.

The victim is currently under supervision of doctors and receiving medical care and is in good health, Dogan News Agency reported, citing governor's office.

The incident brought the total number of cases in the country to 24.

The World Health Organization says a total of 55,867 cases and 238 deaths were confirmed globally as of Wednesday.
