The authorities monitor potentially a virus resistant to Tamiflu
TORONTO - With the approach of flu season, health officials monitor public especially a family of flu virus to detect any repetition of an unwelcome phenomenon occurred last winter.
To the surprise and dismay of scientists and governments, H1N1 viruses resistant to Tamiflu had suddenly made their appearance in large numbers in northern Europe.
Since then, tests have shown that viruses resistant to this drug is crucial propagated in North America and South, the Caribbean, Africa, parts of Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Officials say North American have intended to carry out tests to detect resistance early in the flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, and the United States at least, the authorities intend to change their recommendations on doctors to prescribe drugs if the problem were to occur again. This could go in particular to encourage doctors to promote zanamivir, said a member of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, because we did not observe any cases of resistance to zanamivir - generic name of Relenza, produced by GlaxoSmithKline.
The producer of Tamiflu, Hoffman-La Roche, intends to participate in the monitoring effort through a study conducted in several countries on the degree of resistance to the drug, and what happens in people infected by viruses resistant who take Tamiflu (oseltamivir or).
Canada will also conduct tests as soon as possible upon the occurrence of influenza, to inform the medical community types of influenza viruses that cause more illnesses and are resistant to Tamiflu.
Governments and large enterprises around the world have stored large quantities of Tamiflu in preparation for a possible influenza pandemic. :tiphat: http://translate.google.com/transla...67043&languageid=2&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=fr&tl=en
