Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

Here is a possible cause for the large number of cases in a short period of time - there were apparently large political rallies during a flu outbreak.

http://www.euronews.net/2009/11/05/a-mix-of-election-fever-and-flu-in-ukraine/

The swine flu has spread into the political arena in Ukraine.

President Viktor Yushchenko has accused opponents running against him in a January presidential election of criminal negligence in the way they have handled an outbreak of swine flu.

And there is a shortage of available face masks in the country, according to two pharmacy customers:

?I have the flu but I do not know what type. They did not do any tests on me, But I?m fine. I hope I do not infect anybody.?

?They promised to bring in anti-viral medicines, but warehouses are empty. Do you have facial masks?
No, we do not have any.?

The search for facial masks and medicine has prompted some Ukrainians to cross the border into Hungary. More than 80 people have died since mid-October of the flu and other respiratory illnesses. The World Health Organization says it assumes most flu cases in Ukraine have been caused by the H1N1 virus.

President Yushchenko claims his arch rival, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and former premier Viktor Yanukovich were aware of a flu epidemic when they organized mass rallies to support their presidential campaigns.

He has asked the General Prosecutor?s Office to open a criminal investigation into negligence among top government members.

Excerpts from today ECDC situation update: http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/healtht...rt_0900hrs.pdf

(...)

Update on Ukraine

The ministry of health has reported yesterday almost 500 000 cases of acute respiratory illness and 86 deaths related to acute respiratory illness, which are clear increases to the report on the previous day. Influenza A (H1N1) has been identified in a number of samples in domestic laboratories.

A 9-person WHO outbreak assessment team, including experts from ECDC and EU memberstates has been deployed at the request of the ministry of health in Ukraine and are presently in Kiev and Lviv.

Samples have been sent for verification to the WHO collaborating centre laboratory in Mill Hill, London.

It is clear that the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 has established itself in Ukraine and it is likely that the rapidly evolving situation in Ukraine is mainly related to the pandemic.

However, at this stage, others causes for clusters of respiratory illness, specifically in the western oblasts cannot be ruled out.

In Ukraine, the flu has killed already 96 people

05.11.09

In Ukraine, the flu and its complications, 96 people died. It was said at the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health Bakhteyeva.

According to an UNIAN, she said, among the dead, six doctors, seven pregnant women and nine children.

In the report, the draft resolution on urgent measures to fight the spread of pandemic influenza in Ukraine Bakhteeva noted that the Party of Regions insists that the 500 million UAH were transferred to the regions for the purchase of medicines and medical supplies.

In this case, Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn repeatedly interrupted her, noting: "You are reported as the chairman of the committee, not as a member of the Party of Regions faction, and is a draft decree of the Ukrainian Parliament, not the Party of Regions faction, so let's stop political agitation"

Yushchenko asking UN to hold virus expert examination of Ukraine

KYIV, November 5 /UKRINFORM/. Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko told reporters on Wednesday the scope of flu epidemic, including the California virus, is immense in Ukraine.

?We have specific risk factors, aggravating the epidemic exactly in Ukraine, which is seen from findings of both the National Security and Defense Council and international experts,? the head of state said.

Yushchenko emphasized that, unlike with similar cases in other countries, Ukraine was hit by three at once hard virus infectious agents - two seasonal and Californian flues. Virologists say, as a result of mutations, this combination of infections may produce an even more aggressive new virus.

?That is why I addressed the United Nations with the request to conduct a virology expert examination of Ukraine, and set up an appropriate laboratory to take efficient anti-epidemic measures,? the President emphasized.

In theory mutations are possible, at this moment I did not see any indication at all pointing to a mutation in Ukraine.

"WHO begins investigating pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in western Ukraine
05 November 2009

On Wednesday, 4 November 2009, five members of the WHO mission in Ukraine arrived in Lviv, in the western part of the country. Lviv is one of the most affected regions, with more than 100 000 people reportedly sick with influenza-like illness. The team comprises two clinical experts, two epidemiologists and one communicable disease expert, who have been joined by a doctor from the United Nations Children?s Fund (UNICEF) office in Kyiv. They are visiting some of the affected areas and interviewing medical staff and patients face to face, as part of the investigation of the suspected outbreak of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in the country. The team will spend several days in Lviv before heading to other sites.

From its investigation, the team aims to gain a better understanding of vulnerability to and risk factors for illness, and identify best-practice scenarios for treatment. Before going to Lviv, the epidemiologists spent a morning at the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, in Kyiv, developing documentation that can help strengthen the analysis of the reported outcomes of patients who may have pandemic (H1N1) 2009. The Ministry, which requested assistance from WHO on Friday, 30 October, is providing the investigators with all relevant data, including epidemiological records and clinical case notes.

Working from the WHO mission?s headquarters at the WHO Country Office, Ukraine, virology experts have received further results from the examination of samples submitted earlier by national laboratories in Kyiv to WHO?s reference laboratory in London, United Kingdom, and will share them with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The experts have determined that these results continue to confirm cases of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection.

Communication is a key element of the response to the outbreak. Accurate and clear information can lessen fear and promote effective action. United Nations agencies and their communication focal points spent an afternoon developing a series of action points to help strengthen their messages and outreach to the general public in Ukraine. Despite the heightened alert in the country, everyone can still take very simple but effective measures to slow the spread and reduce the impact of pandemic (H1N1) 2009."

If Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko talks about possible "mutations", for me this is politics, not science.

In theory mutations are possible, at this moment I did not see any indication at all pointing to a mutation in Ukraine.

Ehm, are the statement "lack of indications" based on published data about,
or on sensitive laboratory information from the Ukraine field measurements?

Even if there were realy only a poor population with the same pandemic strain, there, and elsewhere worldwide, cames reports of several other flu seasonal strains, or other X bugs.

So, it is probably too early to dismiss a "mutation" question - it could be always a "mutation more prone" situation, with all that mixing, or supposed other tamperings.

And the "political momentum pressure" component (if present),
could only be beneficial for real anti-spreading heavier measures at the fields,
thing that other countries dismissed to do, smoothly, without remores ...

WHO: Swine flu virus is top strain worldwide
By MARIA CHENG (AP) ? 27 minutes ago

LONDON ? The World Health Organization's flu chief said the swine flu virus has now become the predominant flu strain worldwide.

In some countries, swine flu accounts for up to 70 percent of the flu viruses being sampled, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, WHO's top flu official.

While most people recover from the illness without needing medical treatment, officials are also continuing to see severe cases in people under 65 ? people who are not usually at risk during regular flu seasons.

"We remain quite concerned about the patterns that we're seeing," Fukuda said during a press briefing Thursday.

He said the swine flu virus appeared to be fairly stable, and that samples from around the world remained very similar to when the virus was first identified in April.

Regarding the recent surge of cases in the Ukraine ? which has reported more than 250,000 cases and 70 deaths of people with flu-like illness in recent weeks ? Fukuda said the virus appeared no different there than anywhere else.

"We just simply have to understand that influenza can cause outbreaks in very large numbers of people," he said. "Patterns can be quite different from country to country."

Fukuda said the agency was also monitoring the impact of the virus on particularly susceptible populations.

On Wednesday, Venezuelan officials reported that swine flu had hit the Yanomami Indians, killing seven people in a population of 28,000.

Fukuda said WHO had observed that aboriginals in Australia were disproportionately hit by swine flu, but could not say whether they were more genetically vulnerable to the virus or if that was due to underlying health problems.

With swine flu vaccination programs now under way in more than 20 countries, Fukuda said no rare or dangerous side effects had been reported, and the agency was convinced the vaccine was "highly safe."

Fukuda said WHO had been surprised that the vaccine appeared to work after just one dose, but was happy about it because that mean the world's vaccine supplies could be stretched.

Even in children under 10, Fukuda said WHO recommended that one dose could be effective. Some countries, including the U.S., are recommending that children get two doses of the swine flu shot.

"It is better to provide one dose to as many children as possible rather than two doses to fewer children," Fukuda said.

Kenji Fukuda is one of the best scientists in the world. I believe if I am reading this right, he is saying there was no mutations??

Regarding the recent surge of cases in the Ukraine — which has reported more than 250,000 cases and 70 deaths of people with flu-like illness in recent weeks — Fukuda said the virus appeared no different there than anywhere else.
