38-year-old man multiple organ failure,
influenza kills bad bacteria attack
WASHINGTON earlier death of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in a 38-year-old man infected with influenza A H3N2 influenza virus Watch the lower respiratory tract, so kept in the mouth into the lungs Streptococcus pyogenes, double Under attack multiple organ failure and death. Doctors suspect二○○九年swine flu or H7N9 avian influenza virus non-structural protein, gene shuffling occurs with the H3N2 virus in the past, resulting in this variant of the virus.
Reporter: Pei ice
As of last Friday in Hong Kong this year, 381 persons have died due to the flu, it is estimated the death toll will exceed one hundred days. A senior doctor said that in the past few flu attacks the young, the patient should receive intensive treatment, or bird flu and swine flu viruses to produce a "cytokine storm" that the human body can be fatal abnormal immune response.
He suspected that this variant of influenza A H3N2 influenza virus appears in Switzerland, is due to the non-structural protein二○○九年swine flu virus, or H7N9 avian influenza virus H3N2 influenza virus into the past, the emergence of gene shuffling. Swine flu virus non-structural protein covering the human immune system and cause serious illness after infection.
Lymphocytes were as low as AIDS
It is reported that the Iraqi hospital late last month received a 38-year-old Hong Kong residents working in the Mainland, infected with influenza A H3N2 influenza virus, the disease rapidly deteriorating or two later, the body appeared "cytokine storm", to the intensive care unit with "artificial lung" for a living. He played like a low white blood cell levels in patients with chemotherapy drugs, although the general flu patient lymphocytes will decline, but his low lymphocyte levels like AIDS. His lower respiratory viruses, cause he Streptococcus pyogenes infection.
Streptococcus pyogenes so severely damaged the patient's lung, pulmonary water and pleural abscess appeared fatal multi-organ failure. It is reported that the patient's sample has been handed
HKU laboratory to understand whether viral gene shuffling.
Four kinds of bacteria in the mouth abideth
Public hospital has received a number of influenza A H3N2 influenza virus infection, bacterial infection and then double attack cases, patients infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae, serious damage to the lungs, to use artificial lung living.
The four types of bacteria normally kept in the mouth, when people with low immunity invasion lungs; 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, most flu patients infected with these bacteria after severe pneumonia and death. When the flu patients are also infected with the bacteria, the bacteria amount ten times higher than that of single bacterial infection.
Chair Professor, Department of Hong Kong Yuen refers to microorganisms, influenza A H3N2 influenza virus can cause patients with severe immune response, coupled with this virus variants, make a serious condition. In addition, Guangdong Province this year, 28 people infected with avian flu H7N9, four people died, including two cases is limited saving people successor. Provincial CDC chief expert何剑辉means that the two related cases involving a man to take care of sick mother when, once-in-law's hand to catch sputum, H7N9 virus was detected in the sputum, the man later onset than the mother, believed to be close contact with secretions spread, is a limited saving people successor.
