PONTIANAK. Ar and WT, the two patients who underwent treatment at hospitals Soedarso Pontianak since five days ago have detected influenza type A (H1N1) is based on test results of laboratory examination Kemenkes Institute for Research and Development. Previously, patients were
"Results of laboratory tests on blood samples from two patients in hospitals Soedarso Pontiac showed both positive influenza A. However, this type of influenza is not dangerous. If the patient's condition gets better, tomorrow (today, red) was allowed to go home, "said Dr. Abdussalam, Spp Dedet and Dr H was accompanied by Head of Service Sppa dr Tita Sulandari and publicity department of Hospital, SH Rudy told reporters at a press meet in space Soedarso Pontiac General Hospital Director, Friday (2 / 7).
According to Salam, this type of influenza symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, pain in the body, head, chills, lethargic and weak. Some patients experienced bowel movements and vomiting.
He also explained that non-fatal influenza A compared to bird flu. Even very low in the cause of death. But be dangerous if not treated quickly. Because the virus attacks the human lung tissue. Which spread through the human rather than from pigs.
Influenza type A viruses are divided into several sub-types based on two types of proteins on its surface. This protein is called as Hemaglutinin (HA) and Neuroaminidase (NA). There are 15 types of sub-types of HA and 9 NA subtypes, and various combinations of the two types of proteins can be found.
Only some type A flu virus that commonly infect humans today, namely H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2. While some sub-types commonly found in animals, such as H7N7 and H3N8 flu that causes disease in horses.
Sub-type called type A flu virus based type of HA and NA proteins, for example is the H1N2 type A influenza viruses that have a type of protein, HA protein 1dan NA2. So that the virus is H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus Type A that have a 5 HA and NA proteins 1.
In the meantime, DD has come home first and the results were negative. Remaining two other patients the DN and Au, are still awaiting results of laboratory examination of Research and Development Institute Ministry of Health in Jakarta to know the symptoms of a virus that attacks.
dr Dedet, said fourth condition that they handle the current patient condition was steadily improving. Typical clinical presentation of swine flu infection in humans are similar to normal influenza. With symptoms of viral infections that attack humans if the fever more than 37.8 degrees Celsius, sore throat, cough, runny nose, headache and pain.
Precautions that can be done, said Dedet, avoid contact with people who are sick. Then cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing and washing hands with soap and water. "More important whenever possible to avoid contact with others when the flu. Or remain silent in the house when they have flu symptoms, "he added.
HINI prevention could also pattern by maintaining healthy eating by putting four of five perfect. To be able to awake the condition of the body. Because adequate protein intake. Because the disease attacks the body when conditions are weak. One reason for low protein content in the body. So that the body becomes weak immune.

China: Disease study centre opens
Jun 29, 2010
SHANGHAI - AMERICAN and Shanghai health authorities opened an epidemiology centre in the Chinese city on Tuesday to train experts in sleuthing out ways to prevent chronic and epidemic diseases.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention is helping with training and technical assistance at the centre that will be 'driven by what are the major public health issues in this country,' said CDC deputy director Stephen B. Thacker.
'We need more field epidemiologists in China and around the world and we need them better trained,' Mr Thacker told The Associated Press.
Outbreaks of SARS (sudden acute respiratory syndrome) and bird flu since 2003, and last year's swine flu epidemic have driven home the rising risks from new diseases or deadly mutations of epidemic ailments, especially in developing countries that may lack the infrastructure to cope with them before they get out of hand.
Earlier joint research in field epidemiology helped identify routes of infection for some of those ailments. Some of the work has been related not to epidemics but to unexplained illness and deaths. Experts traced mysterious clusters of deaths in south-west China's Yunnan province to consumption of certain wild mushrooms. Research into cases of paralysis among leukemia patients prompted the recall of unsafe medicines.
Mr Thacker said they also need more experts in the broad areas of public health, not just communicable diseases. 'We need to look at what's killing people, what's putting people in hospitals. Here in Shanghai, the leading causes of death are not infections, they're heart disease, stroke, injuries, cancer and so on,' he said. Wang Longxing, director of the Shanghai city Health Bureau, said the government is starting to invest more in prevention. -- APEgypt: Alexandria culls 1454 birds

The three deaths were among male forest hunters from Mokouangonda who presented similar symptoms of epistaxis (nose bleeds), bloody diarrhoea, cough and fever prior to deaths after a 1-2 week long hunting expedition in the Odzala National Park.
A joint Ministry of Health (MoH) and WHO team is currently in the field to assess the situation and to collect clinical samples for diagnosis. These will be tested by the Centre International de Recherches Médicales de Franceville (CIRMF) Gabon, and Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale à Kinshasa, DRC.
A Regional Coordination Committee to contain the outbreak has been established in Ouesso, Sangha Region, under the Direction Générale de la Santé, assisted by WHO and other international partners including Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in Congo and Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in France. Measures to respond to the disease outbreak including epidemiological investigation, social mobilization and infection control are being implemented in the area.

The Rostov Region has been hit by large-scale swine fever outbreaks several times this year. In particular, the virus was found in February this year in a personal subsidiary plot in Gukovo, following which the entire swine stick consisting of over 350 pigs was destroyed, with the damage amounting to 2.23 million rubles ($72,000).
Swine fever outbreaks were also registered in mid-May at the Kazachiy krai pig farm in the Tatsinsky district where almost 2,000 pigs were destroyed and in late May at the Donskoye farm in the Oktyabrsky district where almost 4,000 pigs were destroyed.
African swine fever, or Montgomery's disease, was first reported in Africa in 1903. Both domestic and wild animals can become infected when they come into contact with sick animals. The virus does not affect humans.
