"For example, now live poultry markets to chicken hair removal hair removal through mechanical chicken in hot water burns after mechanical removal machine in a turn, so that it is easy to produce aerosols, if the virus may be through aerosol spread to airborne. "He Jianfeng, suggested that blocking the transmission of the virus, it is best to do chickens live poultry market" clear day "," might purchase large amounts on the day of slaughter as if chilled for sale, more conducive to prevention. "experts also agreed that the isolation of different bird species, to prevent cross-species transmission of the virus is a new virus produced and popular control of important measures.

Text / reporter Huang Rongfang, Li Heng correspondent Ruzhi Na, Han Wenqing

Concern about a week, Guangdong's first H7N9 patient can be discharged! Yesterday, the reporter from the Guangdong's first H7N9 patient briefing was informed that the first case of H7N9 in Guangdong provinces and experts as well as patients with Chan after a hospital of Guangzhou Medical Institute, Guangzhou respiratory ICU medical staff more than 20 days of full treatment and intensive care, condition improved markedly, from the intensive care unit to a general ward.

According to the director of the Institute Chen Rongchang call, from the current situation to determine whether the patient should be discharged in about a week. The body after a month of basic indicators can be restored to its previous state sick, basically no sequelae.

Yesterday, the reporter saw in the ward has been transferred to general wards Chan, I saw her color is very good, smile on his face. She told reporters that he had a good recovery, eating and sleeping are normal, basically no discomfort, but still can not move around too much too soon.

Epidemic:

Winter and spring vigilance

Ms. Chen is the only one case of H7N9 cases in Guangdong do? Zhong Nanshan said that discovery and occurrence of the two concepts. I can only say that, so far, found only in this case in Guangdong. Because there is no census, and maybe some of them might just mild infection and had not been found. So, now unable to make an accurate morbidity and mortality statistics.

Whether there will be this winter and spring Guangdong H7N9 cases of the disease? Zhong Nanshan said that at present can only say that there is a possibility, but no one dared to conclude that will happen. Now there's evidence, first, there are already limited human-to-human transmission; Second, in animal experiments, the two snow on two adjacent cages, found a snow sculpture after H7N9 infection, in addition to a too infection, indicating that there is a certain possibility of droplet infection. "Of course, this is just animal experiments, human experiments have not been confirmed, so this winter and spring is still worthy of attention."

About the H7N9 vaccine, Zhong Nanshan, that there is not a large number of vaccine production. Because the production of the vaccine on the premise that there is a person to person. At present, H7N9 appeared only two or three signs of limited human to human transmission, if the large-scale production of vaccines, premature. If this winter and spring rediscovery cases, it is necessary to begin developing. "Now we've done a very good development of vaccines to prepare."

Prevention:

Should focus on keeping live poultry slaughtering

Zhong Nanshan reminder, comprehensive national situation, this incident cases of H7N9 are closely associated with the live bird markets. "You could say, live bird markets are most susceptible, and domesticated populations live poultry and chicken at home, are not the problem." He said, and now has some scholars strongly recommends keeping live poultry should be focused, concentrated slaughter. "This is indeed a source control approach, Guangdong, Shanghai sooner or later, to go this far, this is a general direction, because now the biggest contradiction is not the incidence of poultry, human cases."

Prior to August 2013, a lot of Cantonese, including their family, including the H7N9 bird flu do not understand what kind of disease? But now the avian flu from getting closer to people's lives. As of February 21 this year, the province reported a total of 74 cases have been cured 38 cases, 16 deaths, 20 patients are still in hospital.

Reporters recently visited have been cured and discharged two patients Huizhou and Guangzhou found, H7N9 bird flu has brought to them and their families is a "heavy rebirth" from the people around them and experience, you can also see people on H7N9 understanding of the process of avian influenza: from ignorant to fear from escape to become more rational and calm in the face.

Their stories

Ignorance into a small but severe cold

Chen Dong bamboo, originally a side dish Boluo Yokogawa town retail live poultry market to do business. August 3, 2013 in the evening after closing the file, she felt unwell, general fatigue, weakness, that is suffering from a cold or too tired during the day, eating a meal of cold medicine went to sleep. However, over the four days, the condition did not improve, but also aggravated She just went to a local big hospital. Unexpectedly, a common "cold" soon became seriously ill, August 9, Chen Dong bamboo case appears multiple organ failure.

August 9 in the evening, Chen Dong Zhu was diagnosed the first case of human infection with H7N9, Guangdong bird flu, and transferred to the treatment of Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.

Chen Dong similar to bamboo and disease development, H7N9 bird flu first case of human infection in Guangzhou, 30-year-old Pan Qiang, in this year's January 3 but also because of "sore throat, fever, weakness" and "cold" start, after six days After treatment of the common cold, the 9th night, he appeared with severe pneumonia due to severe stay Nanfang Hospital ICU, after being confirmed as infected with the H7N9 avian influenza.

How are infected with the H7N9 bird flu? The same problem plagued the two families. Contact history of patients showed Chen Dong Zhu is with his family in the chicken slaughter live poultry market to do business, to live every day with live birds in one place. The Pan Qiang, a tofu business in Tianhe District, Guangzhou Sha East market is the market of live poultry stalls next to the unloading point. Pan Qiang said he remembers New Year's Day, when he files to see some cold, "next door at the unloading chickens, a gust of wind will be an odor and feathers blowing in my face."

Pan Qiang hospitalized five days later, his 5-year-old daughter Pan ocean (a pseudonym) also started a fever, after the provincial CDC test also confirmed infected with the H7N9 avian influenza virus.
Fear of death is so close to the feeling

"(Chen Dong bamboo) to the hospital the next day turned into the ICU ward, because after filming, the doctor said she was very serious lung infection, an unknown virus has developed rapidly, but had yet to determine whether H7N9 . "said Mr. Xu Dong Chen Zhu's husband, a local doctor trying to rescue, but any drug can not be used to block Chen Dong bamboo body becomes more weak trend, this time she can only rely on ventilator to maintain breathing. Even under the hospital issued a notice in critical condition, the doctor told Mr. Xu, Chen Dong various physical indicators of bamboo are very low, if the "do not carry over tonight, probably will not wake up tomorrow morning."

"At the time of the H7N9 avian influenza is unclear what, I have heard before that SARS, I feel like very terrible, is terrible (disease)." Last year when recalled healing process, Mr. Xu said.

Also think there are close to death from Pan Qiang and his wife Luoyan Ting (pseudonym). Pan Qiang hospital the same day, the doctor told Luo Yanting, lungs on her husband's half of the inflammation worse. "By the next day the doctor took the new test results, said his lungs have all been infected with the virus, there is a bubble, whitening, and any time of danger." Luo Yanting be intimidated, "said the doctor saved the only 30% chance of winning. "

Pan Qiang four days after admission, the 罗燕婷 guard and small aunt 24 hours in the ICU, but see every day, patients suffering from other diseases died was being carried out, they feel terrible, but only cried together and prayed .

...
When Chen Dong bamboo dying, Mr. Xu to receive information Times reporter interview, he said, "Well, after my wife, do not do live poultry business, as long as people of peace, homecoming planting something, too poor days are good points."

This is a life and death experienced after the gates of hell, Chen Dong Zhu also be greatly felt physically and mentally destroyed. "Now there is no previous physical feeling so good, I used to feel very strong now colds, back pain occasionally." Although discharged Zhong Nanshan academician told her to go back to what the future can be, because the body has had the H7N9 antibody But she was scared for live poultry category, not close poultry.

However, forced livelihoods, governance over the Dong Chen Zhu and her husband decided to discuss or do back live poultry business. "Because doing this for years, do not know what else to do a career change." Mr. Xu said.

February 22, this reporter went to Huizhou City, Wang Dong-Dong Chen Zhu's home, because her long-term work outside the home, clean and spacious floor not only lived in the small house the couple and son three people. For the convenience of doing business before, the couple lived in the attic of chicken stalls, room and board, and live birds together. And now, they choose to do business during the day in stalls at night back to this ancestral home to live.

After the bird flu crisis, the local government also made a live bird markets unified planning, all the stalls are concentrated together, regularly disinfected every day. Dong Chen Zhu said the stall closed for six months, many of the old regulars have been taken away, plus a large environmental impact, it is difficult to do business. Probably about 10 live birds killed every day, and earn 20 to 30 yuan a manual fee, but also not worth the $ 800 a month rent stalls. "Can only hope that the avian flu epidemic early in the past, the business will slowly get better." Mr. Xu said.

Guangzhou Tianhe District Sha East Pacific markets, past the famous market tofu husband and wife team, now being only one person in the operation Luoyan Ting. Husband Pan Qiang February 12 Sunrise hospital, recovering from illness to stay at home recuperating. This unfortunately does not erode the confidence of 罗燕婷 continue to live in Guangzhou. She said she saved operating tofu stalls around 3,000 yuan per month, after paying off medical bills owed, allowing two children studying in Guangzhou, "(let them) to receive education in big cities, we do not repeat the walk the road. "

People's attitudes
From shunned to active greetings

Guangdong, the first case of human infection of H7N9 patients after the news came out, the town where residents CHEN Dong bamboo into a talk about "bird" the mere mention of fear among the neighbors did not even dare go near her home, stay away as much as possible. Mr. Xu said that last August, when his wife had just sick in this town population of less than twenty years, rumors quickly spread to every corner. "There are neighbors feel fear, are unwilling to pass the road in front of our house."
