* . (BDO) Immediately after the detection of influenza A H5N1 cases first in Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute leaders met with Pacific Health Department to discuss the rapid deployment of measures to prevent and combat the type of this disease.
 
 Until this time, in addition to identifying patients Phu Truong Son positive for influenza A H5N1, the infectious source identification is difficult because back time after Binh Duong, Son has come and stay at many places.  . Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City representatives made ​​three hypothesis of infectious sources.

The first hypothesis is in Thanh Hoa Province, for the time patients Son home eating duck with more frequency (2 days to eat one time) while the province of Thanh Hoa province is a growing epidemic with 9 service districts. However, in the patient's Son district in Thanh Hoa province shall not declare the epidemic. 

The second theory is in Binh Duong. 

The third hypothesis in in Cu Chi District, HCMC, because patients have participated in duck meat and meat was purchased at Cu Chi. 

 
  During the period of illness with fever, hot Son patients self-treatment drug, then treated at a polyclinic in the town Di An and transferred to Hospital Corps 4.
 
 Right after the samples positive for influenza A H5N1 patient's Son, Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute has asked the location where the patient Son of treatment, as well as work carried out disinfection and check list monitor, isolate those who have had contact with patients.  In addition, at Son in patients with a host family in the neighborhood I 8, Phu Loi, TX.TDM, specialized agencies have also conducted palate and remove fluid communication measures for disease prevention members of this family.

 Mr. Tran Ngoc Huu, HCMC Pasteur Institute said that the authorities of Binh Duong to continue testing, monitoring to determine the outbreak.  In case of sale at the Cu Chi ducks need more information and do not exclude the possibility that the duck from the western provinces put up.  The measures we present a new implementation of the resolution at its tip, yet the base is to determine the source of infection is still having a certain number of difficulties.

 According to Huu, current diagnostic problems in a number of health facilities has been slow due to limited diagnostic facilities, so the treatment effect is low.  He suggested that Pacific should review the resources, equipment, medication, make a list of mobile teams prevention services, which should pay attention to your breathing and ability to use the ventilator. Center for Preventive Medicine Pacific should re-training problem handling the outbreak, plan prevention and specific as well as to monitor closely the increase and decrease of the flu.  Communication also need to follow the behavior change of people, because bệnh nhân . Truong Phu Son patients are doctors themselves, but also many times eat duck while Thanh Hoa are translated and then again when symptomatic self-treatment drug.
