Par Mohamed Medjahdi (La Tribune, Algiers)
6 d?cembre 2006

Le d?c?s ? l'h?pital d'une femme ?g?e atteinte d'une grippe, deux jours apr?s sa mise en quarantaine, a provoqu? une v?ritable panique tant au sein des m?decins qu'au niveau de la population.

Devant cette situation douteuse, qui a pouss? les responsables de la sant? ? mettre au courant le ministre de la Sant?, pour parer ? d'?ventuels dangers, la rumeur a pris de l'ampleur. Au point que le tout Tlemcen en parle. Contact?, le directeur g?n?ral du CHU de Tlemcen, M. Abdelhamid Lallama, nous r?v?le qu'?effectivement une femme, de la r?gion de Ouzidene relevant de la da?ra de Sabra, dont l'?tat pr?sentait des sympt?mes identiques ? celle de la grippe aviaire, nous a pouss?s ? prendre des mesures d'urgence pour diagnostiquer sa maladie? avant d'encha?ner: ?La patiente a ?t? isol?e pendant deux jours et nos responsables ont ?t? mis au courant.?

Le DG a tenu ? infirmer l'existence d'un quelconque cas de grippe aviaire et a tenu ? rassurer les populations, d?clarant que la femme ?tait d?c?d?e suite ? des complications infectieuses. ?Elle est vieille, et son corps n'a pu lutter contre la maladie?, explique M. Lallama. De son c?t?, la direction du parc national a accentu? ses sorties pour surveiller les oiseaux migrateurs au niveau des barrages et de la zone humide de Dhayet El Ferd. M?me les v?t?rinaires et les m?decins d?ploient tous leurs efforts pour faire face ? ce virus qui a fait jusqu'? pr?sent 57 victimes dans le monde. A l'heure o? des pays abattent des milliers de volatiles, comme c'est le cas en Cor?e, les Nations unies estiment qu'il faut pr?s d'un milliard et demi de dollars pour lutter contre ce virus H5N1.

The DG made a point of cancelling the existence of an unspecified case of aviary influenza and made a point of reassuring the populations, informant who the woman had died following infectious complications. "It is old, and its body could not fight against the disease", explains Mr. Lallama. On its side, the direction of the national park accentuated its exits to supervise the migratory birds on the level of the stoppings and the wetland of Dhayet El Ferd.
