Health Minister said prevention and control of the situation is extremely grim

At 7:51 on January 22, 2009
The annual Spring Festival on the front of the bird flu strikes again, only in the first month of 2009, Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong and Hunan have been confirmed infected with four, three of whom died.

January 20, the Ministry of Health held a human avian influenza prevention and control of video and telephone conference. At the meeting, Health Minister Chen Zhu said that at a time when a high incidence of human avian influenza season, human avian influenza prevention and control work is extremely critical.He urged local health authorities, it is necessary to fully understand the risk of avian influenza hazards, from the source control of human infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza risk.

This is not the competent authorities interested in this when I create a tense air. Statistics show that the Chinese bird flu cases more than 70% of the time focused on the incidence of winter and spring (November to March). In most cases prior to the onset of all, directly or indirectly, a history of exposure to dead poultry, or the incidence of live birds to go off the market. During the Spring Festival is just the Chinese people more time to contact with poultry. A large number of migrant workers to return to rural areas, as well as livestock and poultry trade frequent holidays, no doubt increases the outbreak and spread risk.

Fortunately only after careful investigation, the competent authorities confirmed that no cases of immediate relevance, but also found no avian influenza virus with human influenza virus re-signs with. This and previous incidence of basically the same. Therefore, the unfounded panic is unnecessary. However, the competent person in charge stressed that the active prevention and control and monitoring measures must continue to strengthen in order to prevent and cope with the situation even worse.

Prior to this, the World Health Organization warning that the disease control in animals is to reduce opportunities for human infection and thus reduce a pandemic virus appears the primary approach, followed by the prevention of human exposure to the virus acts. However, looking forward to the virus from birds disappear hope not been realized, but the situation has become increasingly disturbing. Therefore, to draw attention to their behavior is becoming increasingly important, although this is extremely difficult.

Chinese CDC experts said the public is necessary to distinguish between seasonal influenza and avian flu, in order to adopt varying contingency measures. Seasonal influenza outbreaks, is already circulating in humans caused by influenza virus subtypes. The health of those who suffer from seasonal influenza usually found to be in two to seven days and self-limiting. The influenza vaccine is to prevent influenza and its complications and one of the effective ways, it is recommended the elderly and the chronically ill vaccinated.

Avian influenza is usually found in the birds, poultry and migratory birds very high risk of suffering from the disease. Residents if there is no contact with infected live poultry or birds and their droppings, it need not be overly worried about avian flu. Even if it has been suffering from human cases of avian influenza exists, but there is no evidence that the virus can be effectively disseminated, the majority of cases of human illness, patients are due to exposure to infected poultry or contaminated surfaces caused by the object. Human suffering from avian flu, there will be a variety of flu-like symptoms, or diarrhea, and may quickly deteriorate into respiratory failure, multi-organ failure and even death.

Experts say that to prevent human suffering from bird flu, should avoid contact with live poultry and their excreta, and after touching live poultry, wash hands thoroughly; poultry and eggs should be cooked before consumption.Tourism, will have to go outside if poultry outbreaks of bird flu areas, they should avoid contact with the local live poultry and birds. If flu symptoms should seek medical attention as soon as possible and to inform the doctors come into contact with poultry, or whether an outbreak of bird flu have been to place.To deal with birds, the public should maintain good personal hygiene, avoid contact with wild birds and their droppings and feathers. If it has touch immediately with water and hand sanitizer, wet wipes (alcohol) or alcohol anxious and disinfected thoroughly cleaned. If it is found injured or dead wild birds, should immediately inform the relevant departments in order to arrange for officers to the scene to collect for laboratory testing.

At present, human infection with avian influenza is still very difficult for the clinical treatment, and its early symptoms of infection with common to compare like with like, so many patients in the incidence of early and did not arouse enough attention, delaying the best treatment time. Experts warn the public about the human avian influenza patients, early detection, early treatment is the key to rehabilitation.

It is understood that in our country since 2004 has been initially established human avian influenza monitoring system. At present, our country has a national coverage of 31 provinces and municipalities in Influenza Surveillance Network, including the network of 63 laboratories, each with a laboratory detection of avian influenza virus.
