Re: Child Tests Possible Positive & town is Quarantined

Vomiting is not usually associated with bird flu. Do you think they could be concerned that this is a combination of viruses?

CDC;http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/avian-flu-humans.htm
Signs and symptoms of Avian Influenza in Humans

The reported signs and symptoms of avian influenza in humans have ranged from eye infections (conjunctivitis) to influenza-like illness symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches) to severe respiratory illness (e.g. pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, viral pneumonia) sometimes accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and neurologic changes.

So - I should say - I have not seen reports of vomiting n Egypt's posts as a symptom of H5N1. Have you Commonground?

Re: Child Tests Possible Positive & town is Quarantined

Yes, Kiwi, I have seen symptoms of vomiting, just today...or yesterday. But I'll be darned if I can remember where? It's that information overload again....:tiphat:

Re: Child Tests Possible Positive & town is Quarantined

Initial symptoms include a high fever, usually with a temperature higher than 38oC, and influenza-like symptoms. Diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain, and bleeding from the nose and gums have also been reported as early symptoms in some patients. Watery diarrhoea without blood appears to be more common in H5N1 avian influenza than in normal seasonal influenza. The spectrum of clinical symptoms may, however, be broader, and not all confirmed patients have presented with respiratory symptoms. In two patients from southern Viet Nam, the clinical diagnosis was acute encephalitis; neither patient had respiratory symptoms at presentation. In another case, from Thailand, the patient presented with fever and diarrhoea, but no respiratory symptoms. All three patients had a recent history of direct exposure to infected poultry.
