HILVERSUM --

Swine flu which already infected six Belgian visitors to Rock Werchter field, is also found in the 21-year-old festival goer Maarten from Markus Loosdrecht. This is the fourth scheduled flu victim in 't Gooy in June since the disease was discovered by a boy in Hilversum.

The Loosdrechter was sick last week returned from Europe's largest rock festival, which was already a flu case was known. For Markus Paul was a father and two, but he went to the doctor but was disappointed. ,, Werchter in Belgium were sick visitors the opinion is at a hospital to be tested, but the GGD in Hilversum did not want to test. And even though he had all the symptoms.''

For so soon as possible to obtain assurance, Markus drove with the doctor decreased nasal smear of his own son to the laboratory in Hilversum . That sent the material to a specialized laboratory in Amersfoort, where the flu was found.

According to Markus, it is for their own precautions to thank that no other family members become ill. The Loosdrechter works for a company that produces vaccines and knows about viruses. ,

, We got him in the attic held in quarantine and are consistently two meters away from him.''The patient is now almost cured and may leave today his isolation. The Loosdrechters worries are over. ,, My wife works with elderly. It would be a disaster if the disease would have spread.''

Hilversum GGD-doctor infectious diseases Jacqueline Sleven knows the case, "Werchter in Loosdrecht. The GGD refused to test Maarten Markus , is right.

Only those who meet national criteria - flu symptoms, high fever and less than seven days ago in Mexico or the United States - are tested.

According Sleven, there are many more cases of swine flu and the number now 164 cases confirme is the tip of the iceberg. , Most patients do not take the trouble to go for a treatment.''
