Re: Czech Republic - A/H1N1 - 104

[Google Translation]

In the Czech Republic is already over a hundred cases of swine influenza

Czech Republic has nine other people infected with swine flu, with a total of 104 people already infected. Reported to the Ministry of Health on its website. Disease confirmed national reference laboratory for influenza in the State Health Institute. Currently, patients in good clinical condition, the Ministry said. The pig flu in the Czech Republic so far no one died.

Causes it zmutovan? flu virus type A subtype H1N1. The same virus has caused at the beginning of century tzv.?panělsk? influenza pandemic. The disease is well spread among birds and between pigs that are susceptible to diseases.

Of these, then goes to humans. Transmission from human to human virus mutates further, it is against the body can not defend. Do not predict whether a newly created mutations will cause only slight symptoms or cause epidemics. The current "combination" was just zmutov?n?m viruses, human, pig and bird flu.

The normal flu disease most people die with little or weakened immunity - the elderly, children or people who just underwent a severe illness. The current type of attacks but especially young people.

Friday 31 July 2009, 18:26 - Prague
(Last Updated: Friday, 31 July 2009, 19:50)

Hygienikov? assume a greater increase in the number of patients. Now, after dozens of patients increasing every day. The main hygienist of Michael Vit said that it expects stovkov? increases within two weeks.

Epidemiologov? assume that infected is now more than a hundred confirmed cases. Some people because of illness during lehč?mu probably will not even to doctors.

Newly arrived infection especially in countries with the occurrence of the virus A (H1N1), namely Britain, Spain, Malta and the Netherlands. Most of them are treated in isolation and ignore domestic antivirals.

For the latest case are four people from Prague, two of the Pardubice Region. After one patient from the South Moravia, South Bohemia and Central Bohemia.

Epidemiologov? warn that in the autumn may come more aggressive second wave of influenza. The spread of the virus in the northern hemisphere will be the right conditions, so that could infect many more people than now. Pandemic Plan envisages that in the worst case of the disease up to three million inhabitants.

"Estimates of the pandemic plan were very conservative, or moderate during the match. We can say that the current situation suggests that," said epidemiologist ČTK Jan Kynčl, under which many states had a few calculations. Severity of disease according to him will depend on the evolution of influenza virus and its possible zmutov?n? with another cirkuluj?c?m strain.

"A significant risk is antigenic change in the virus and the possibility of significantly heavier courses or complications, even those fatalities," he said. "Perhaps most dramatic option would be H5 (bird flu virus)," said Kynčl. "Those options are relatively a lot of mixing. Influenza virus has the potential to evolve as follows, that is, unfortunately, the natural characteristics of the change," he added Kynčl which is co-technical parts of the pandemic plan.
