Chikungunya : premi?re contamination confirm?e en m?tropole
http://fr.news.yahoo.com/31032006/185/chikungunya-premiere-contamination-confirmee-en-metropole.html

La maladie peut-elle se transmettre par voie sanguine ? L'hypoth?se est avanc?e en tout cas par les experts. Car une infirmi?re ayant proc?d? ? un pr?l?vement sanguin sur une personne infect?e par le chikungunya est aujourd'hui porteuse du virus.

Autre possibilit? retenue : la piq?re d'un moustique arriv? de la R?union dans les bagages de la patiente. Quoi qu'il en soit, le minist?re de la Sant? prend cette affaire tr?s au s?rieux. Xavier Bertrand a d'ailleurs demand? ? l'Institut de Veille sanitaire "de conduire sans d?lai une enqu?te de contamination".

Le Minist?re rappelle par ailleurs "l'importance des pr?cautions habituelles que doivent suivre les professionnels de sant? lorsqu'ils pratiquent des pr?l?vements sanguins, notamment le port de gants". Eh oui apparemment ce n'est toujours pas un geste naturel...

Chikungunya: first contamination confirmed in metropolis

Can the disease be transmitted by blood way? The assumption is advanced in any case by the experts. Because a nurse having carried out a blood levy on a person infected by the chikungunya is carrying the virus today.

Another possibility selected: the puncture of an arrived mosquito of the Meeting in the luggage of the patient. At all events, the ministry for Health very takes this business with the serious one. Xavier Bertrand asked the medical Institute of Day before besides "to lead without delay an investigation of contamination".

The Ministry in addition points out "the importance of the usual precautions which the professionals of health must follow when they practise blood taking away, in particular the wearing of gloves". Eh yes apparently it is still not a natural gesture...
 
Re: Chikungunya in French HCW

Looks like they are starting to pave the way for the human to human chikungunya announcement.
