An epidemic in the WHO «John Jabbour»: «avian flu» the disease will remain the poor in Egypt ..
cases of bird flu has been one death so far this year, paid to Egypt ranked first in terms of the number of injuries, how to read these indicators?
True, Egypt recorded the largest number of cases of bird flu this year, 15 injuries and one death, is superior to China, which registered 7 cases so far, but reassuring that no deaths since the beginning of 2009 so far, the latest case of deaths observed in the 21 April, The child is 4 years of appreciation.
The total casualties in 2009 is so far 15 injuries and one death this year and I would like to emphasize that Egypt is still third in the world in terms of total number of injuries and the death toll to 24 deaths from 67 cases,
If it were not for the strict measures taken by the Supreme Committee for Avian flu, have been more casualties in Egypt, many factors, including the nature of rural education and domestic birds, and communication between departments and geographical areas in Egypt.
Do you consider the non-registration of deaths this year, evidence of the success of the health authorities to curb the disease?
This is clearly visible, and I think that the effectiveness of the system of surveillance, and rapid medical intervention to deal with suspected cases of injury, is an indication of the success against the disease, and here I would like to emphasize the role of awareness of the population the importance of prompt reporting, because the guidance of the Ministry of Health is everywhere, we if we date the emergence of symptoms on the penultimate event of death, which was in Assiut, we find that it has been reported in the 8/12/2008 injury, did not enter the hospital only after 3 days, and death occurred due to delay in reporting the injury.
Q: What new can be observed in the incidence of this year compared to previous years?
The phenomenon is the concentration of the most serious infections in children in 2009, all cases were among children, as opposed to previous years, the infections were concentrated in the adult segment, especially housewives, and this is why the health of the feeling of danger, and to address the Egyptian Ministry of Health for the interpretation of this phenomenon was confirmed after injury, and the result is the death of mothers of the late reporting, we discovered that the Egyptian mother can be known of her for economic reasons, fear of death in birds, but the initiative to report on their children when in doubt have the disease.
Q: Do you Rsdtm variations in the Egyptian version of the virus?
In general, influenza viruses, including the h5n1 strain of avian influenza viruses, severe mutation and transformation, but in general, there are small mutations in some HIV proteins, and lead to a new strain, so note the conduct of tests and research on the quality of vaccines used in the treatment each year, and to declare World Health Organization in November of each year, before the resumption of virus activity in the world, but the Egyptian version of the virus was still there was no change, there is a simple mutation in the West, but a slight
Did not affect the effectiveness of treatment, despite the noise about this slight mutation, the results of tests in Egypt, which are sent to international laboratories in Malta, London, confirm that a change in the disease in Egypt, is not expected to change seriously in the coming stage.

والفيروس لم يتحور إلى صورة خطيرة
The virus has not mutated into a form dangerous حوار على زلط ٢٣/ ٤/ ٢٠٠٩
Dialogue Zalat 4-23-2009 <table style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left; direction: ltr;" align="right" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top">للعام الرابع على التوالى يدق مرض أنفلونزا الطيور أبواب مصر كل شتاء، بعد فترة البيات الصيفى، هذا العام تربص المرض بالأطفال، وصل حتى قنا فى صعيد مصر.
For the fourth year in a row beating bird flu each winter, the doors of Egypt, after a period BIAT summer, this year the disease to harm children, the so Qena in Upper Egypt. الدكتور جون جبور خبير الأوبئة فى منظمة الصحة العالمية يرصد فى هذا الحوار تطورات المرض، ولماذا احتلت مصر المرتبة الأولى فى عدد الإصابات؟
Dr. John Jabbour an epidemic in the WHO monitor developments in the dialogue of illness, and why, Egypt ranked first in the number of casualties? وهل هناك تخوف من تحور الفيروس فى نسخته المصرية؟
Is there a fear that the virus will mutate in the Egyptian version? وإلى تفاصيل الحوار:
And the details of the interview: * ١٥ إصابة بأنفلونزا الطيور وحالة وفاة واحدة حتى الآن فى هذا العام دفعت بمصر إلى المرتبة الأولى من حيث عدد الإصابات، كيف تقرأ هذه المؤشرات؟
* 15 cases of bird flu has been one death so far this year, paid to Egypt ranked first in terms of the number of injuries, how to read these indicators?
- صحيح، مصر سجلت أكبر عدد إصابات بأنفلونزا الطيور هذا العام، وهو ١٥ إصابة وحالة وفاة واحدة، متفوقة على الصين التى سجلت ٧ حالات حتى الآن، لكن المطمئن أنه لا وفيات منذ بداية ٢٠٠٩ حتى الآن، فآخر حالة وفيات رصدت فى ٢١ إبريل الجارى، وكانت لطفل يبلغ ٤سنوات من القليوبية.
- True, Egypt recorded the largest number of cases of bird flu this year, 15 injuries and one death, is superior to China, which registered 7 cases so far, but reassuring that no deaths since the beginning of 2009 so far, the latest case of deaths observed in the 21 April, The child is 4 years of appreciation.
أما إجمالى الإصابات فى ٢٠٠٩ حتى الآن فهو ١٥ إصابة وحالة وفاة واحدة هذا العام وأود التأكيد أن مصر لا تزال الثالثة على مستوى العالم من حيث العدد الإجمالى للإصابات والوفيات بـ ٢٤ حالة وفاة من ٦٧ إصابة،
The total casualties in 2009 is so far 15 injuries and one death this year and I would like to emphasize that Egypt is still third in the world in terms of total number of injuries and the death toll to 24 deaths from 67 cases,
ولولا الإجراءات الصارمة التى اتخذتها اللجنة العليا لأنفلونزا الطيور، لكانت الإصابات أكثر فى مصر، لعوامل كثيرة، منها الطبيعة الريفية، والتربية المنزلية للطيور، والتواصل الجغرافى بين المحافظات والمناطق فى مصر.
If it were not for the strict measures taken by the Supreme Committee for Avian flu, have been more casualties in Egypt, many factors, including the nature of rural education and domestic birds, and communication between departments and geographical areas in Egypt.
* هل تعتبر عدم تسجيل وفيات فى هذا العام دليلاً على نجاح السلطات الصحية فى محاصرة المرض؟
* Do you consider the non-registration of deaths this year, evidence of the success of the health authorities to curb the disease?
- هذا ما نلمسه بوضوح، وأعتقد أن فاعلية نظام الترصد، والتدخل الطبى السريع فى التعامل مع حالات الاشتباه بالإصابة، يعتبر مؤشراً على نجاح مواجهة المرض، وهنا أود التأكيد على دور وعى السكان بأهمية سرعة الإبلاغ، لأن إرشادات وزارة الصحة موجودة فى كل مكان، فنحن إذا لاحظنا تاريخ ظهور أعراض المرض على حالة الوفاة قبل الأخيرة، والتى كانت فى أسيوط، نجد أنه تم الإبلاغ عن الإصابة فى ٨/١٢/٢٠٠٨، ولم تدخل المستشفى إلا بعد ٣ أيام، وحدثت الوفاة نتيجة للتأخير فى الإبلاغ عن الإصابة.
- This is clearly visible, and I think that the effectiveness of the system of surveillance, and rapid medical intervention to deal with suspected cases of injury, is an indication of the success against the disease, and here I would like to emphasize the role of awareness of the population the importance of prompt reporting, because the guidance of the Ministry of Health is everywhere, we if we date the emergence of symptoms on the penultimate event of death, which was in Assiut, we find that it has been reported in the 8/12/2008 injury, did not enter the hospital only after 3 days, and death occurred due to delay in reporting the injury.
* ما الجديد الذى يمكن رصده فى حالات الإصابة خلال العام الحالى مقارنة بالأعوام السابقة؟
Q: What new can be observed in the incidence of this year compared to previous years?
- الظاهرة الأخطر هى تركز الإصابات فى الأطفال فى ٢٠٠٩، جميع حالات الإصابة كانت بين الأطفال، بعكس الأعوام السابقة، إذ تركزت الإصابات فى شريحة الكبار، خاصة ربات البيوت، وهذا ما دعا منظمة الصحة للشعور بالخطر، ومخاطبة وزارة الصحة المصرية لتفسير هذه الظاهرة بعد تأكد الإصابة، وتكون النتيجة هى وفاة الأمهات لتأخر الإبلاغ، اكتشفنا أن الأم المصرية يمكن أن تخفى إصابتها لأسباب اقتصادية خشية إعدام طيورها، لكنها تبادر بالإبلاغ عن أطفالها عند الشك فى إصابتهم بالمرض.
- The phenomenon is the concentration of the most serious infections in children in 2009, all cases were among children, as opposed to previous years, the infections were concentrated in the adult segment, especially housewives, and this is why the health of the feeling of danger, and to address the Egyptian Ministry of Health for the interpretation of this phenomenon was confirmed after injury, and the result is the death of mothers of the late reporting, we discovered that the Egyptian mother can be known of her for economic reasons, fear of death in birds, but the initiative to report on their children when in doubt have the disease.
* هل رصدتم تحوراً فى النسخة المصرية من الفيروس؟
Q: Do you Rsdtm variations in the Egyptian version of the virus?
- بشكل عام، فيروسات الأنفلونزا ومنها h٥n١ المسبب لأنفلونزا الطيور من الفيروسات شديدة التحور والتحول، لكن بشكل عام، هناك تحورات صغيرة فى بعض بروتينات الفيروس، وتؤدى إلى سلالة جديدة، لذلك نلاحظ إجراء اختبارت وبحوث عن نوعية اللقاحات المستخدمة فى العلاج كل عام، وتعلن عنه منظمة الصحة العالمية فى نوفمبر من كل عام، قبل معاودة الفيروس نشاطه فى العالم، لكن النسخة المصرية من الفيروس لاتزال كما هى لم تتغير، صار هناك تحور بسيط فى الغربية، لكنه طفيف،
- In general, influenza viruses, including the h5n1 strain of avian influenza viruses, severe mutation and transformation, but in general, there are small mutations in some HIV proteins, and lead to a new strain, so note the conduct of tests and research on the quality of vaccines used in the treatment each year, and to declare World Health Organization in November of each year, before the resumption of virus activity in the world, but the Egyptian version of the virus was still there was no change, there is a simple mutation in the West, but a slight
لم يؤثر على فعالية العلاج، بالرغم من الضجيج حول هذا التحور الطفيف، فإن نتائج التحاليل فى مصر التى ترسل للمعامل الدولية فى مالطا ولندن تؤكد عدم حدوث تغير فى المرض فى مصر، ومن غير المتوقع حدوث تغير خطير فى المرحلة المقبلة.
Did not affect the effectiveness of treatment, despite the noise about this slight mutation, the results of tests in Egypt, which are sent to international laboratories in Malta, London, confirm that a change in the disease in Egypt, is not expected to change seriously in the coming stage.
