If you eat undercooked pork, (or blood pudding) or at the meat that is easily scratched limbs infected. Meanwhile, patients with meningitis may or septicemia.

Intermediate Doctor Nguyen, associate dean active treatment, Tropical Disease Hospital Central.


This afternoon, in a survey of the PV market in Hanoi Tien Phong Online have found most of the stalls selling pork in here are not found to prove their marked moderation.

The buyers were said when asked, only red meat that looks fresh and clean, the guess is that you should buy, not sure quarantine seal meat or not.

News from Department of Animal Health in Hanoi on 4 / 5, said: The forces of Hanoi function to enhance the transport of pigs to control the city. Stations, checkpoints in the province are operating 24/24 hours and resolutely deal with cases of animal transport and animal products of unknown origin, without quarantine certificates and valid.

The Animal Quarantine team to monitor and supervise the implementation of quarantine regulations to each of the farms owned companies, joint ventures or private area.

In the areas that have not yet translated, the small business, trade, slaughtering and processing animals and animal products are required to commit to not buying, selling and transporting pigs and pig products in the epidemic areas in the area; not slaughter swine processing.

At the outbreak of communal or contiguous service areas, stop the trade in pigs and pig products. The household business, trade, slaughter pigs here are also requesting the suspension of business, transportation, sale and slaughter of pigs and conduct hygiene and disinfect the slaughter.

Transfer green ear from other regions of Hanoi to enjoy high compensation

When the blue ear pig disease, the immune system to weaken it, this is a chance for streptococcus swine bacterial attack. This bacterium is the scientific name Streptococcus suis. The bacteria can infect humans.

Doctor Nguyen Huyen Nguyen, Khoa general infections, hospital central tropical disease.


News from Department of Animal Health in Hanoi, said key kKiem Animal and animal products in Gia Lam district discovered, arrested seven pigs transported from Bac Ninh province to Hanoi declaration ear Green, destroy and get support.

The reason for this phenomenon is that this time, as many provinces bordering Hanoi Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Bac Ninh have blue ear epidemic. While policies to support the damage in each province, city different. There is only support for the province 18.000dong/kg pigs must be destroyed, while in Gia Lam district, Hanoi, support level is 25,000 VND per kg pigs must be destroyed.

In addition, because in many areas of Hanoi breeding, though not happened yet, but traders blue ear disease is to take advantage of "forced" price, forcing farmers to sell pigs at low prices, farmers should be able remove hunger situation, not going to take care of destruction can easily occur.

According to the Hanoi Department of Animal Health: The blue ear epidemic in Hanoi has appeared in six communes in two districts in Phu Xuyen and Gia Lam. Although the epidemic in the province are temporary stop and not continue to spread, but, the risk of spread, outbreaks in areas of capital raising is still very high.:tiphat:http://www.tienphong.vn/Tianyon/Index.aspx?ArticleID=193128&ChannelID=2

Every time I saw nurses (or dr.s) handling inf. cases with bare hands, and those ordinary masks, I think about how strong must be their immunity, and how thick & resistant must be their skin,
because,
I don't know if that is "type II",
but earlier elsewhere cases (quoted type 2), seems included more possible spreading ways.

Example from 5 years ago (Sichuan):

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7773

‘Pig disease' may be spreading between humans
01 August 2005 by Gaia Vince

excerpts:

"Vaccines to combat a deadly pig-borne disease were flown to south-western China on Sunday, where the spread of the rare illness has already killed 36 people and infected 198. The unusually high numbers of people infected by the swine disease has led scientists to speculate that it may be being spread from human-to-human - or that another disease entirely is to blame.
Streptococcus suis type II, although relatively common in swine, spreads to humans extremely rarely, and the size and virulence of this current outbreak, in the province of Sichuan, has taken the World Health Organization by surprise.
...
When the infection spreads to the brain, causing meningitis, it's in far greater concentration and so it can be transmitted to humans who eat raw infected pork or handle the dead animal with open cuts," she told New Scientist.
"It is so rare for humans to become infected; most farm workers develop some immunity from the endemic disease. What might have happened is that the bacteria have acquired virulence factors from another organism - a bacterium or virus that might be harmless - and the combined virulence factors have turned it into a superbug, which could be transmitted human-to-human through coughing," she suggests.
Andrew Rycroft, a microbiologist from the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire, UK, agrees. "The likelihood is that once it gets established in the human respiratory tract, it can be transmitted by the respiratory tract between humans very much more quickly," he says, citing an analogy between the bubonic plague, which soon became the far more virulent pneumonic plague when it was transmitted by the human respiratory system."

Prevention of spread from pigs to humans

(TNTT>) by eating pork disease is not yet ripe, not guaranteed, many patients infected with Streptococcus - a disease transmitted from pigs to people - hospitalized in a state of sepsis severe shock body, gangrene leg hand ... So how to prevent?
Easy to death if not promptly emergency

Nguyen Van Anh H. (In Pho Yen, Thai Nguyen) is an emergency at the Institute for Tropical Diseases in a state of national severe sepsis, blood pressure dropped, the money shock, coma, limb gangrene smell ... After more than half a month ventilation, active treatment, he H. New escape the scythe of death even though the notes remain on the skin necrosis. The reason is that pigs eat more soup.

Also by eating pork, said Le Van A.. (35 years old, in Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh Province) were a form other diseases that cause swine streptococcus infections: meningitis.

TS. Nguyen Van Kinh, Director of Institute of Tropical Diseases, said the country, nearly half months now, every day in hospital is 1-2 cases show a swine streptococcus infections, many of which have very severe cases mechanical ventilation.

The patients in scattered localities are translated on the situation. If no timely emergency, patients are likely to die when infected by swine streptococcus bacteria, the infection may have a disease manifested in three scenes are pure latex meningitis, sepsis alone or in combination both.
Cases swine Streptococcus disease can cause meningitis combination of pus and blood infections, patients have expressed very serious as infection, bleeding, fever, appear under the skin necrosis, the failure respiratory function, circulation, kidneys and liver. In patients with meningitis may often be manifested high fever, headache and vomiting and then coma but can not bleeding externally.

Patients with meningitis, if detected early the treatment less difficult. If detected late, a person may be right brain, or even death to leave the serious sequelae such as epilepsy. It is worth saying, diagnose patients prone to be confused with other diseases, because when the body swine streptococcus infections usually manifest like many other diseases such as septicemia, hemorrhagic fever, meningitis pus ... Therefore, it is important to early diagnosis and timely to the hospital for treatment. When a patient has the disease is manifested by high fever (40-41 degrees C), the array appears under the skin hemorrhagic necrosis, meningitis syndrome ... immediately to the emergency.

Could come

Eng. Nguyen Trung level (positive scientific treatment, tropical diseases institute national) for swine streptococcus bacteria usually reside year round in some pigs throat without causing disease.
But when the blue ear pig virus, immune health decline that streptococcus bacteria thrive, causing pneumonia, blood infections for pigs. When the pigs slaughtered this disease, or go without proper disposal, then the meat before cooking, even many who do not know the patient should still eat pork products from pigs as fresh details farming, pig hearts, nem paste ... then the body will absorb a large amount of streptococcus bacteria that live pigs. Especially on the background of patients such as diabetes, liver failure, alcoholism ... then the more likely situation Streptococcus disease.

TS. Nguyen Huy Nga, director of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Environment, said that does not have a basis to prove or blue ear pig disease led to the swine streptococcus disease in humans. However, the disease not related to FHS food, especially pork. So, for the pigs show signs of disease, not an absolute slaughter.
Ensure the purchase of pork must be cooked. Bacteria causing streptococcus suis, has appeared in Vietnam over the past years but not now appear and reappear.This is very dangerous because the disease can spread directly from infected pigs to humans through ingestion or respiration. As a precaution, patients should eat the best cooked hot drink, not absolute slaughter and consumption of pigs is manifested sick, sick.

Eng. Warning level, the danger is very time rapid-onset disease, only 16 hours after eating sick pigs. Identify pork streptococcus infection by seeing other red meat normally, bleeding or swelling absolutely not eat. :tiphat:http://www.thanhnien.com.vn/news/Pages/201019/20100506115004.aspx

Until now, Tropical Disease Hospital Central has received 14 cases of swine streptococcus. April alone there are seven cases. There is not a disease epidemic, but people need preventive vigilance.

A patient infected swine streptococcus BVTU treatment in Hue.

According to therapist 2 Nguyen Thi Minh Ha, Head of General infections, Tropical Disease Hospital Central: swine streptococcus infections are spread from animals to humans, but does not spread from person to person. Normally, the pigs are all children of this streptococcus in the throat and upper respiratory tract. When the infected pigs, especially the blue ear disease, immune system decline, streptococcus swine will have the opportunity to attack individuals.People exposed to sick pigs from swine streptococcus will be transmitted through skin wounds, eye mucosa, air.

If the patient is not treated promptly, can cause septicemia, meningitis, arthritis, pneumonia, leaving the heavy sequelae such as deafness. Severe cases, blood infections that patients not treated promptly, can shock and fatal infections.

Those who are in blue ear epidemic areas will have high risk of swine streptococcus. Besides, contact with dead pigs, swine meat which scratched arms and legs, eat food from pigs that are not cooked, will also risk infection streptococcus swine. So even when a high fever, nausea, headache, and especially with the hemorrhagic form of ..., to the right of patients to medical facilities for treatment in time. :tiphat:http://www.xaluan.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=181126

At this point, still fever patients, blood pressure is stable, and the doctors can not be anticipated disease progression in those days, patients will hurt any of the organs.
Currently patients with numbness, leg pain a lot. Doctors are alarmed at the situation vasoconstrictor ability, lead to necrosis of the foot and toes. Patient samples were also taken for testing swine streptococcus bacteria, but the symptoms can make very clear that patients infected with Streptococcus pigs.

According to Dr. Grant, when farmers should not panic sell sick pigs that need to promptly report to the veterinary service zoning. The sale of this sick pig (and probably pig blood infections, pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pigs) swine Streptococcus causing disease in people at risk of spread by slaughter, disease eat pork.
