First Contamination Franco-French
Angoumoisine a 29-year-old is currently hospitalized in an isolation room hospital Girac, Saint-Michel (near-leme Angou?).

According to Thierry Schmidt, director of the hospital, she should be able to leave the facility in the coming days.
High fever
This patient presented the first case of secondary contamination in France. Indeed, it has been contaminated by a close relative, a colleague from work from Angoul?me, aged 46, who returned from the United States on Monday, May 25 Three days later he was taken from a high fever. "In the back of the plane and on arrival at the airport, he, like other passengers, was informed that it was an area affected by the flu. He received the procedure for cases of high fever or aches. He contacted the center 15, "said Gisele Thomas, director of the departmental health and social action.
Immediately, the doctor regulator asked him to join the Girac hospital, where tests have determined that this patient was suffering from the flu. He was admitted to a single room and cared for by staff equipped with masks.
Contacts
At the same time, as happens in cases of meningitis, the patient was interviewed for the contacts with him. "That is to say with whom he has been in contact in a room for about an hour, with whom he held a conversation," says Gis?le Thomes. Indeed, the flu virus is spread in particular by Postillons. In this case, seven people contacts have been identified. "They were all preventable. One of them, this young woman of 29 years, has contacted the center 15 Monday, earlier this afternoon, when she felt the first symptoms. "
It was dealt with immediately, even before the test results. "Fortunately, we have patients who were healthy and did not show this severe form of influenza. "
