Department under the command of Menkes Siti Fadilah Supari stated that the mode of virus H1N1. That has happened because of transmission of swine flu among humans in Indonesia. Total 20 patients who already have a disease is positive. Two of them are contagious from the other patients.

"There is now the case of transmission between humans. Patients have been treated and infect other people, "said Tjandra Yoga Adhitama, Director General of Disease Prevention and Environmental Penyehatan (P2PL) office in the MOH MOH, Rasuna Said street, yesterday the journalist. Tjandra explains, the latest data have 12 new patients positive H1N1 virus. Consists of, 8 WNI and 4 WNA.

Six of the patients treated in the Infectious Diseases Hospital (RSPI) Sulianti Saroso, each 1 in the RS and RS Gatot Subrot Bintaro International, and 4 patients treated at the hospital Sanglah Denpasar. To suspect swine flu itself grows. Tjandra can not mention the amount of course. "If the suspect can not be limited. Cough-cough and cold can be considered suspect and conducted inspections, "explained. Especially for those newly arrived from abroad or from an infected country.

Although the number of suspect lots, said Tjandra, they do not necessarily have a positive H1N1 virus. "Because the results are still awaiting checks from the MOH," augment him. Tjandra explains, H1N1 merebak quickly around the world. Up to now, there is no vaccine to prevent the virus. According to the plan, production of new vaccines will be done in six months. "Until now handling swine flu tamiflu with just enough," he explained.

Tjandra ask that people do not panic. For, from 20 patients revealed positive swine flu, 95 percent do not have a chronic condition. In addition, 90 percent of patients who have a swine flu in the world choose not to treatment hospital. This means, in addition to 20 can be stated that the patient is positive, there is still other patients. Because, they choose not to go to the hospital.

Tjandra said, for handling the problem, the mask digalakan. However, at this time the mask was not specified by the department where. "The department set up a cross," he said. He describes, in general, there are four protap that apply to passengers in the airport. Specifically, they come from a new foreign country. That is, must go through thermo scanner to find out someone's body temperature, wear masks, put on health alert card, and reported the matter to the passengers coming from countries where.

At this time, not only Jakarta and Bali are infected with the virus. Also, Makassar and Medan. In two areas, the number of flu suspect growing pigs. Five new suspect in Medan in the middle of treatment. Their blood sample examined Batlitbangkes MOH. Including, patients who expressed a positive swine flu in Jakarta currently treated in the Infectious Diseases Hospital Suliati Saroso.

"All the results we are still carefully. Any development that occurs we will report it, "said Tjandra. Bird flu experts from Airlangga University requested that the government immediately map the H1N1 type of virus infecting the patient stated that the positive carry disease. Thus, it can be known whether the virus is on the patient from Indonesia was the country dituju or original infected in Indonesia alone.

"This is very important in mind. So, the MOH can map the types of the virus, "said Prof. drh CA. Nidom, head of a bird flu laboratory Unair. He explains, there must be research on the virus-the virus that has been menginfeksi patients. "The virus that should have been reviewed again," he said. For example, a virus that the citizens of Australia who currently treated in the hospital Sanglah, Bali.

"The problem, if it does not matter how virusnya in Australia. But if true? That need to be feared that if the virus adapts to the patient, "he said. Nidom also recommends that the virus also carried out investigations against the WNI currently treated in Singapore or other countries. "We have a sample that can be virusnya kinship virusnya," said Nidom. Because, he said, each virus has a different representative. There is a more violent or otherwise.

Therefore, he said, in the laboratory examination should be conducted. Efforts to prevent the leakage of the virus. Nidom explained, efforts to map out the relationship H1N1 virus at the same time to prevent the virus bergabungnya with the H5N1 virus. "We can do the simulation, the simulation since the beginning," says lecturer at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Unair it.

By doing the research, said Nidom, H1N1 can spread opportunity prevented. For, can be known types of viruses and how to address them. Moreover, the various parties about the possibility bersatunya virus H1N1 and H5N1. "That's reasonable, because the impact on health is quite dangerous," he said. (kit / jpnn)
