Avian influenza complicated and caused death of people with influenza A/H5N1 has tended to increase again. Along with that, some people suffer, die, foot and mouth disease hand in 2 months this year increased sharply over the same period last year. Before the unusual performance of these two dangerous diseases, PV Report SGGP had discussions with Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology ...
* Q: In the South the past one more A/H5N1 flu cases, bringing the number of people with this dangerous disease within 2 months to 3 cases (2 deaths). Is A/H5N1 flu virus is to mutate and spread rapidly?
* Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien: At present, the strains of influenza virus, the A/H5N1 flu virus remains virulent strain of powerful, high mortality, even at times the death rate up to 100%. However, past research and recent analysis showed that the strain of influenza A/H5N1 in humans similar to the A/H5N1 flu virus currently circulating in poultry, no significant changes in cellular characteristics geneticist or virulence changes more dangerous. This virus is still circulating subheading ever in our country, should not record the transmission from person to person.
* The number of morbidity and mortality remain high?
* In fact, through inspection and monitoring, the phenomenon is not just poultry, waterfowl sick, dead infected with A/H5N1 flu virus that is circulating A/H5N1 influenza virus in waterfowl flocks and poultry but no expression of the disease, also known as the "healthy carrier infections." This makes it difficult for the prevention, monitoring, early detection and treat outbreaks. Moreover, also can not underestimate the changes of the influenza A virus potentially be transmitted from poultry to humans and from person to person. So, to combat and prevent the danger of the A/H5N1 flu virus, people are not in addition to slaughter, transport, trade and use of poultry, waterfowl die, absolutely not ill eat duck , salad, poultry, waterfowl have not been thoroughly cooked.
* Currently, the country had recorded dozens of local bird flu. This situation of how to impact the spread of influenza A/H5N1 virus in humans, sir?
* Avian influenza A/H5N1 in humans and is related closely together, influenza A/H5N1 in humans only when outbreaks occur in poultry, waterfowl. Thus, influenza A/H5N1 in humans depends on the epidemic in poultry. Meanwhile, bird flu has now spread to 13 provinces, with tens of thousands of birds, waterfowl disease risk so great, especially the risk of spreading avian influenza H5N1 virus to humans. Therefore, the most important is the need to proactively local disease control in poultry, cattle and prevent rapid, stamping out and zoning thorough handling of flu outbreak on poultry, seafood held.
* Together with influenza A/H5N1, now hand foot and mouth disease is also of the morbidity and mortality high. How would you assess the evolution of the hand, foot and mouth disease today?
* In two months, there were 7,000 cases of hand, foot and mouth, with 9 deaths, compared with this time last year, the number of morbidity and mortality due to hand foot and mouth suddenly increased and fluctuated magazine.Moreover, at present, hand, foot and mouth disease virus by several groups of intestinal cause, not just one type of virus it is difficult to anticipate the risk and the evolution of hand, foot and mouth disease. Along with that, the number of people without active disease but still carry hand foot and mouth virus is also quite high making it difficult for the prevention and treatment.
But essentially hand, foot and mouth disease spread from person to person through direct contact or indirectly with the nasal discharge, mouth, saliva, blisters rupture, the patient should be assigned to prevent epidemic Hand, foot and mouth disease spreading, people need to further improve public awareness of prevention, implementation of measures of personal hygiene, sanitation and hygiene, especially food.
