If the new gene recombinant influenza experts worry brewing in Taiwan and the United States disaster
(Central News Agency, Taipei Chen Qingfang 28, Xinhua)
Taiwan, the United States, Chinese experts were today warned that if the new H1N1 avian influenza and the H5N1 flu virus genetic recombination, would be disastrous to create highly infectious and drug-resistant virus; if the new influenza and drug-resistant Seasonal influenza virus mixed, then make Tamiflu failure.
Respiratory disease experts, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Zhong Nanshan, told Xinhua here today, H1N1 influenza virus currently does not appear a new variation, it has a very infectious, but the lethality is not high, but once mixed with a high lethal H5N1 avian influenza virus, would be very dangerous.
U.S. Department of Health Office of Health Services, director of Southeast Asia, Mali W (Dr.Michael D. Malison) today at the Department of Health Center for Disease Control press conference pointed out that, H5N1 bird flu fatality rate more than 5 into, if the new H5N1 avian influenza and H1N1 influenza in the same person body infection, once the genetic recombination, creating highly lethal flu virus, it will be a disaster.
Mali Sheng pointed out that the World Health Organization (WHO) and Viet Nam, Indonesia, Egypt to cooperate in monitoring, the three countries at the same time both influenza pandemic virus, fearing there mixed virus.
Deputy Director of Health-Chwen Chang to make another worry that 9 percent of seasonal influenza H1N1 viruses are resistant to Tamiflu, if and H1N1 influenza virus genes new hybrid, resulting in a new drug-resistant influenza virus, then the Tamiflu will lapse, Tamiflu is also stored more useless.
The former Health and Director of the Academia Sinica Chen Chien-jen, today suggested that the Department of Health should be widely at the grassroots level to build hospitals and clinics cloth Tamiflu to prevent the patient pushed large hospitals, causing severe infection in hospital patients.
In response, CDC chief Hsu-Sung Kuo believes that the Department of Health will consider part of the publicly-funded Tamiflu shop at the grassroots level, but not a comprehensive distribution in order to avoid misuse promote drug resistance.
