School began, the time is approaching influenza H1N1 influenza outbreak will occur in schools, a new peak has always been a cause for concern. Interview with reporters from 27 respiratory disease experts, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Zhong Nanshan, he said: “The fall entirely possible that a peak again, but the pathogen does not it say whether there are variations.
Zhong Nanshan, that the Government had taken on the Influenza A H1N1 influenza positive measures to effectively prevent the spread of the disease. He said: “China’s low incidence of the illness is not heavy, not dead, it is not accidental, we have a positive cut-off block, local prevention, active treatment played an important role.”
But this does not mean that this influenza outbreak subsided. “WHO has made for the Influenza A H1N1 flu warning, the warning that we need to do for the worst. In accordance with past experience, the flu outbreak is much more than a peak.” Zhong Nanshan said.
According to his analysis, the Chinese began to appear in April this year, influenza A H1N1 influenza, 4,5,6 a month can be considered as the first peak of 7-8 months in reducing the cases of the mainland of China, while Hong Kong has also been increasing cases. Is entirely possible to fall again a peak.
Despite this possibility, fortunately, is by far the virus has no mutation. “We have to do in patients with severe influenza A H1N1 virus isolates sequenced and found, or the original virus, there is no mutation, but also for Tamiflu, or sensitive, there is no tolerance.” Zhong Nanshan said.
Zhong Nanshan, however, also pointed out that China’s Influenza H1N1 influenza viruses are highly infectious, but not high-lethal, if mixed with a high lethal bird flu virus is very dangerous.
August 12, Guangzhou City, a 17-year-old high school students have been diagnosed with severe cases, is still in the hospital for treatment. “In the U.S., Hong Kong and Mainland China, with respiratory and heart diseases in patients, once infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus will cause the original basis of disease increase, and Guangzhou, has attracted severe cases of brain lesions. In the United States and other places the occurrence of death were consolidated the foundation for disease. “Zhong Nanshan said.
In response to this situation, he called for: the school before the semester begins carrying out the prevention work, the classroom should pay attention to ventilation, open the windows to keep the air circulation. People with heart disease and other infrastructure for students and be extra cautious and less to public places, if flu-like symptoms must be diagnosed promptly to the hospital, class or group must also observe isolation.
