?Addressing chronic disease is an issue of human rights ? that must be our call to arms"

Ces deux personnes, un homme et une femme résidant en région parisienne, présentent des symptômes grippaux et ont été hospitalisées. Les examens ne sont "pas complètement terminés" et les résultats complets seront connus avant la fin de la semaine, a précisé Mme Weber.
Ils sont atteints de virus A de grippe non connue jusque là, selon elle. Les autorités sanitaires avaient indiqué mardi soir que deux cas "probables" de grippe porcine avaient été détectés.
[Commentaire:
1. Vu l'expérience mondiale de ces derniers jours, l'on considère un cas comme probable (même confirmé selon certains pays) si le résultat des tests est bien un H1N1 non-typable.
2. Pourquoi un tel délai jusqu'à la fin de la semaine? S'agit-il d'un manque de réactifs empêchant l'identification de la souche - bien que le CDC des Etats-Unis ait déjà envoyé des kits de détection un peu partout - la France en a-t-elle reçu? Ou bien attend-on d'autres résultats ailleurs dans le pays, ou bien le grand weekend de congé du 1er mai pour faire des annonces?
