South Korean health sector on the 26th reported that the first time in South Korea the second infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza cases, the patient was a baby girl two years old. Another 25, U.S. media reported that U.S. West Virginia pediatrician Debulapa Parsons was the first U.S. A flow of secondary infection with the virus.
It is reported that the baby girl in September due to high fever and other symptoms into the hospital for treatment, when body temperature reached 38.3 degrees Celsius, respiratory abnormalities have emerged through a stream system infection confirmed the virus after receiving medical treatment back to health. However, the baby on the 20th re-enter the hospital for treatment because of high fever, when the temperature rose to 39.1 degrees Celsius, there is also a flow of multiple suspected symptoms. The hospital confirmed that she had re-infected with a flow of the virus.
American Academy of Pediatrics Doctors Debulapa Parsons in August and in October it twice appears and a flow of symptoms, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that they were all infected with a flow of the virus. Debra A stream in the August infection symptoms, her son, also facing the same symptoms of a stream, followed by mother and son were recovered after treatment, but in October, both of them appeared in the same situation, and the symptoms of a more serious. They have done a test, the Department confirmed the virus infected a stream.
In general, influenza virus infection of some kind to restore the health of the body will form antibodies, is not re-infection with a virus.
South Korean hospital believe that the baby may be infected with variant virus, so that the body of a stream can not play a role in immune function; may also be due to young, imperfect development of the immune system, for the first time a flow of virus infection in vivo, and have not formed antibody; does not rule out the first time the possibility of erroneous test results.
Kim Korea University Medical Center experts column that “A person infected with the two streams is not impossible”, for example, which confirmed the baby for the first time immediately after antiviral therapy, the body might not be able to form antibodies. U.S. pediatrician Debra that since influenza infection may be time and time again, a flow may also be secondary infection. She thinks that she Stream A secondary infection may be due to a slight variation of flow of the virus occurs, it may be because he did not produce antibodies.
“A stream is uncertain”
Previously many experts believe that people get a stream, able to produce virus-specific immune antibodies, in theory, should no longer get a stream. But the theory is a theory, after all – the face full of accidental nature, especially the microscopic world of bacteria, our knowledge there are always empty, always place a variety of unforeseeable events.
A flow is a new virus, not a comprehensive understanding of this virus, such as the mechanism of their lethal So far, no definite proof. But more so, the more we must dare to admit it, with a pragmatic attitude to explore the unknown.
On the other hand, the relevant departments must frankly face the uncertainty of a flow of the virus, in an open and transparent transmission of information at the same time, making various preparations, if not a rainy day, but also to remedy the situation, this is responsible for prevention and control strategies. A flow early, resolutely defending the introduction from abroad, the experts pointed out that there is a stream may be spread in our country; when the symptoms of a stream generally mild, there are sober people who emphasized that there will be a certain proportion of cases of severe and death. It is these uncertainties on the A reminder stream, rather than blindly optimistic, it ensures a flow of relatively perfect date, the prevention and control programs, as well as the prevention and control of the more successful the outcome.
Other related areas of public life, but also due to the uncertainty of a flow of the possible impact of preparedness.
Of course, the calm face of a stream of uncertainty, not just government, units of matter, but also ordinary people when we have some rational approach. Such as the virus mutates, as well as the severe increase in secondary infections, these uncertainties have indeed increased, but that is sporadic, small probability events, totally unnecessary panic all day, affecting normal life and work.
A flow is uncertain, but as long as prevention and control work is solid, rigorous, respecting the laws of science, a stream, not horrible.
