Seasonal Influenza vs. Avian Influenza Comments

As far as I can tell, the only way the authorities are going to be able to put someone in the category of a possible avian influenza patient, is the association with poultry. And there is a lot of people in china, who are associated with poultry.

Excerpts:
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.

Residents if there is no contact with infected live poultry or birds and their droppings, it need not be overly worried about avian flu.

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 was also present, human infection with avian influenza is still very difficult for the clinical treatment, patients with more than 60 percent fatality rate. And as a result of people with early symptoms of avian influenza virus infection 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 said that so far, took place in Beijing's human bird flu virus has acquired the full genome sequence analysis showed that the virus and previously monitored in southern China cases of the virus occurred in basically the same, there is no essence differences and special obvious biological variation, but also did not find it and the human influenza virus, the phenomenon of re-allocation.

舒跃龙said, I would like to remind you if there are symptoms, especially symptoms of pneumonia, in a time when the medical consultation must be timely to doctors on whether a history of exposure to poultry.
