For hospitals, the implementation of avian influenza treatment in new treatment guidelines and preparation of room isolation to limit treatment to prevent the spread of avian influenza in the community.

Re: Bird flu back!

Risk of outbreaks of avian influenza in humans (March 19, 2010)

Chorus "subjective, ignored the" will probably continue, if the head of discipline at all levels are not even reporting misleading than reality, as the epidemic spread of large-scale

In just over two months of 2010, Vietnam had four patients with influenza A/H5N1, one patient died. Ministry of Health to receive, H5N1 virus has returned with more powerful destructive power. The risk of avian influenza outbreak on a strong back is easy to happen.

Before this situation, one to do now is step up surveillance of avian influenza, not to spread out a large scale. However, the Review of the Department of Animal Health recently, avian influenza will probably spread the Mekong Delta, to the point, in two Mekong Delta provinces of Ca Mau and Soc Trang is translated is not suppressed .

Lack of practical work, the lack of supervision, lack of specific responsibilities, ... is the cause of bird flu outbreaks so.

In Ca Mau, starting on September 18, 2009, avian influenza began to appear in Tan Phu. Peak of this epidemic from May to December 2009 now, with 25 outbreaks. Total birds infected, killed and destroyed nearly 2300 children.

As justification for the provincial government, the topographical features of complex river water should not be able to control the disease. But the same geographical conditions like that, five years, An Giang province has not happened to any outbreak that. Since then poses the problem: Why does the province of Ca Mau also happens to avian influenza?

That is because the political system of the base is weak. Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Ca Mau province in the meeting with the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Diep Kinh Tan has assumed so.

Accordingly, almost the basis of the political system does not understand the problem, no specific statistics on the number of birds in the communes, wards. Through the actual inspection, the proportion of vaccinated flocks to reach low. So, but according to local reports, the proportion of vaccinated always achieved very high level. Clearly, the levels of Ca Mau province dishonest reporting is the cause leading to disease spread can not control the present.

Also in Soc Trang, the direction and administration of anti-progress drastic shortage, lack of coordination in the political system that causes the disease is not dangerous end though this province is full of written guidance. The Prime Minister has said very clearly: do occur local avian first heads the local must be responsible. But in Soc Trang, specific responsibilities in areas happen to be translated is not processed.

Notably, both of these are local Steering prevention of avian influenza, but almost no meeting; are assigned but none work. Steering Committee for prevention of avian influenza is the form, so ineffective?

Ca Mau provinces harvesting DELTA soon, so the ducks other provinces will concentrate in this area so much, when other provinces to harvest the ducks from the service will go everywhere and then translated bird flu will spread to the Mekong Delta! Remember last year, before the disease is spread to the provinces and Mekong Delta, Ca Mau is also the first outbreak!

Chorus "subjective, ignored the" will probably continue, if the head of discipline at all levels are not even reporting misleading than fact, as dangerous H5N1 epidemic spread the broad, threats to health and life of human destiny.

Presently, there are 10 provinces in the Mekong Delta has a new outbreak occurs, but it was time the province should be more drastic action. First, it should be strictly followed instructions from the Prime Minister. Accordingly, local do occur, the head of service must be responsible, with check points, discipline. Including Director of Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Department and Department Head Veterinary The steering committee, member of the steering committee must also be responsible if the assigned local epidemics occur.

Experience in recent years shows that local does do so, the prevention of avian influenza have efficient.

Ignore "Death" H5N1!
(Source: Nguoi Lao Dong)

Influenza A/H5N1 in humans translation risk due to outbreak prevention consciousness of people is not high l may cause a pandemic with unpredictable levels

Less than three months of 2010, the country has had five patients infected with influenza A/H5N1 virus, including two deaths. Avian influenza is a strong risk of outbreaks, but in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the source of the disease is spread not through live poultry is sold quarantine widespread.

We strongly pathogenic to

According to experts, epidemiology, avian influenza outbreaks and are re-exported in many localities. Within a week, both countries have noted two cases of influenza A/H5N1 in which the virus was dangerous lives of a girl aged three in Binh Duong. Cases of female patients is 25 years old, in Hanoi is still being treated in hospital of tropical diseases of countries in critical condition.

According to Nguyen Hong Ha, deputy director of the tropical diseases hospital in the country, patients on active treatment than a week but the amount can not be anything, the government organ failure and have still not ventilation.

Looking back at the 2009, U.S. recorded five ca influenza A/H5N1 infection and death are all less than three months of 2010, the number of people infected with both influenza A/H5N1 was in 2009, the number of deaths is approximately approximately half. Together with Indonesia, U.S. is one of the two countries have many cases of death in the world because of influenza A/H5N1 virus infection. Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga, Director of Department of Preventive Health and Environment (Ministry of Health) and review progress influenza A/H5N1 in humans at risk of outbreak back to the sense of prevention of the people is not high.

One other reason is the scientist VN published recently confirmed the pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 virus in Vietnam is increasing and may make treatment more difficult. According to Dr Le Quynh Mai, Virus Dean, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Central, experts have discovered at least seven group antigens on avian influenza since the virus is present in Vietnam.

Lo deadly new stamping service

Previous information on experts epidemiological expressed concern that they want an early new viruses may appear from recombinant strains of old viruses and cause a pandemic with a degree unpredictable. Meanwhile, the Doctor Nguyen Hong Ha, although H1N1 virus has decreased but still existed, so when it becomes strong, the risk is recombinant. Moreover, no virus stability in terms of genetic mutation so the ability to be very high.

Ministry of Health warned the same time the existence of influenza A/H1N1, influenza A/H5N1 avian influenza in humans and weather conditions plus winter-spring is the ideal environment for virus growth and spread . Current World Health Organization has not lifted the alert level of the sixth pandemic influenza A/H1N1. Meanwhile, more than a month, many countries around the world also noted the morbidity and mortality due to influenza A/H5N1.

After nearly seven years since the first cases detected influenza A/H5N1 infection in Vietnam, to the point, influenza A/H5N1 virus has robbed the lives of more than 60 people but there is a worrying fact is the People still ignore "Death" H5N1. Only when translated outbreak, the local authorities concerned put new stem tangerines services, prevention ... thus translated to "to appointment onto. According to experts, epidemiology, in many places when detecting influenza A/H5N1 in humans, even deaths, the new government "all fresh" stamp on the localized service and recommended preventive people.

Poultry quarantine widespread sale

In some markets in Hanoi such as Mo Cho, Nghia Tan, Cau Giay, Today - Duc Vien, Mai Dong ..., many sell-in is free and impartial customers offer chicken, duck, ducks live well as is made available without sign quarantine. In toad markets, markets temporarily, even on sidewalks, roadways many streets, and live poultry sold label label. At a street fair in Tam Trinh, who cut more, pluck, who bought busiest but are not equipped with measures to prevent progress. Toad in the market in Minh Khai street, Hong sisters - one in-home said: "Everyday I sell a few dozen chickens. What happens if there is I was affected first.

In City, many markets as well as along many routes and display publicly live poultry slaughtering site. Regional market Tran Chanh Mount, (District 5) includes dozens seller concentration. They show live poultry to the roadways offer customers impartial. Tan Son (Go Vap district) has sold nearly 20 points chickens, ducks public. Go Vap district area have much in live poultry on sale for An Loc, for University, Nguyen Oanh, Le Duc Tho. Binh Thanh Van Thanh Fair, Fair Thi Nghe. Similarly, regional fisheries curb market Phan Van Tri (Go Vap district) also has the dozen vendors bird life. District 8 Fair Pham The Hien ...

By Chi City Department of Animal Health, the City in the province, about 200 illegal poultry trade. These points existed for years but this is not the local government to handle destination choice. :tiphat:http://tintuc.xalo.vn/001781695741/tho_o_voi_quot_tu_than_quot_h5n1.html
