Two flu viruses found in Hong Kong victim
By Lydia Chen 2008-3-14


EXPERTS in Hong Kong found two flu viruses and a steroid inside the body of a boy who died of influenza in an outbreak that has forced the closure of all kindergartens and primary schools in the special administrative region.

The city's Department of Health found the H1 and H3 viruses and components of a steroid after examining the body of the seven-year-old boy
, Guangzhou Daily reported today.

Another three-year-old girl also died of the flu early this month, following the death of a two-year-old child at the end of February.

Hong Kong health officials have reported nine confirmed flu cases and 65 suspected ones since March 6, mostly at schools, in the territory of nearly seven million.

Scientists suspected that the seven-year-old had taken a steroid to treat his asthma, which weakened his immune system, the report said.

The boy's death report is not likely to come out soon
, the report said. But scientists have already ruled out the possibility of bird flu or severe acute respiratory syndrome, an epidemic that killed hundreds of people in Hong Kong in 2003.

Yuen Kwok-yung, a leading Hong Kong scientist, and a panel of experts studied the two deceased flu patients and found that the flu virus had not spread beyond their lungs, which suggested the virus was not too virulent.

The World Health Organization also said yesterday that there was no reason for concern. WHO spokesman Peter Cordingley called the Hong Kong outbreak "just regular seasonal flu."

Late on Wednesday the Hong Kong government ordered all kindergartens, primary and special education schools to close for two weeks effective yesterday.

This move was reminiscent of measures taken during Hong Kong's outbreak of SARS

The closure in effect starts the Easter holiday for schools about a week in advance. It will affect nearly 560,000 students at 1,745 schools.

Many schools have required students to wear masks since the outbreak occurred nearly two weeks ago.

China: No unusual flu in south


Posted on Fri, Mar. 14, 2008

By MIN LEE



HONG KONG --
Flu cases that spurred Hong Kong to close primary schools for the first time since SARS have prompted close monitoring in the surrounding region, but no unusual flu patterns have been detected, China's health minister said Friday.

Experts have said there is no sign the flu virus circulating Hong Kong is more virulent than past viruses, despite three child deaths in the recent outbreaks. The World Health Organization has called the situation in Hong Kong a regular flu outbreak, noting at least two of the three children who died had other illnesses.

China's health minister said Friday he has not seen unusual patterns in southern Guangdong province.

"We all know flu becomes common between winter and spring. Our analysis of Guangdong shows there haven't been more flu cases than previous years, but we're closely monitoring the situation," Chen Zhu told reporters in Beijing.

Guangdong's health department said in a statement on its Web site Friday it recorded five flu outbreaks this year across the province, with each outbreak involving at least 15 cases a week.

That figure was "a bit" higher than the same period last year, but the flu virus behind the outbreaks was less virulent, the health department said.

Primary schools and kindergartens remained closed as a precaution, keeping more than half a million students at home.

The government ordered the two-week closure starting Thursday - the first such public health measure since the outbreak more than five years ago of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS.

SARS surfaced in southern China in November 2002 before spreading to Hong Kong, where it killed 299 people and sparked a major public panic.

But both the WHO and the Hong Kong government have said this outbreak isn't cause for alarm.


In statistics released late Thursday, Hong Kong officials announced nine new confirmed flu outbreaks and 41 suspected ones, affecting 305 people.

That brings the total since March 6 to 18 confirmed outbreaks, 106 suspected ones and 837 affected people in a city of nearly 7 million. Most of the cases have been confined to schools.

Associated Press writer Audra Ang contributed to this report from Beijing.
 
Re: Hong Kong Flu-like Illness outbreak

Gene sequencing shows no novel influenza virus
March 14 2008, 13.03.24

The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (March 14) completed gene sequencing results on an influenza virus found in a deceased seven-year-old boy in Tuen Mun Hospital.

A CHP spokesman said:
''Gene sequencing results available today confirmed that the H1N1 virus found in this boy has the same genetic makeup as the circulating H1N1 (Brisbane) strain in Hong Kong.

''Earlier, gene sequencing results on the three-year-old girl who died in TMH found that H3N2 virus in the girl has same genetic composition as the circulating H3N2 (Brisbane) strain.

''Both strains have been circulating in different parts of the world during the past few months.

''These results confirm that the two children did not die from a new virus that is more virulent than the circulating strains in the region,'' the spokesman said.

Meanwhile, the CHP followed up on 11 new reports of influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks affecting nine secondary schools, one child care centre and one elderly home involving 43 people.

He said that ILI may be caused by influenza or other respiratory viruses.

CHP's officials have provided health advice to the staff of all these institutions.

A total of five reports have been received through the influenza surveillance arrangement set up by the CHP with private and public hospitals since March 13 (yesterday).

Of them, three cases (which were announced yesterday) had laboratory evidence of influenza infection.

The eight-year-old girl has been discharged and the remaining two cases (a three-year-old boy admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital on March 11 and a seven-year-old girl admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital on March 11) remain in stable condition.

Meanwhile, the telephone hotline (2125-1133) set up by CHP to answer public enquiries on seasonal influenza has so far received 161 calls.

It will continue to operate between 9 am and 6 pm from Monday to Friday.

More details of the institutional outbreaks, preventive tips and the daily update of influenza situation are now available in CHP's website (http://www.chp.gov.hk).

I think We must resign to accept the fact that a seasonal human influenza epidemic is spreading and all other considerations pertain exclusively to media speculations. Latest MMWR weekly report indicates in USA al least eight infant deaths during past seven days.

ECDC threat assessment - 14 March 2008 - Influenza situation in Hong Kong, China

§Event background information
Since mid-February, Hong Kong (HK) has been in the active phase of one of its annual influenza seasons which, like other years, is expected to decline in April.
The predominant virus strains are the same as elsewhere in the Northern hemisphere, i.e. a mix of influenza A/H3N2, A/H1N1 and B.
Several outbreaks affecting schools and community settings are currently reported in HK.
Furthermore, some severe cases have been admitted to hospital including young children.
The Hong Kong Health Protection Centre reported 14 confirmed institutional outbreaks in week 10 (see report(1)).
In the 2006/2007 influenza season, the maximum number of confirmed institutional outbreaks per week was 22 (in week 27).
To date, three deaths in children with influenza-like symptoms were reported. For two of them the presence of influenza virus was confirmed by the local authorities (one A/H1N1 and one A/H3N2).
In all three cases, SARS and A/H5N1 related disease was excluded.
Following the hospital admission of five school children from the same primary school, the authorities decided in response to parental concern to bring forward closure for Easter holidays of all primary schools in Hong Kong by 10 days.
This was the first school closure since 2003 during the SARS outbreak.

§Conclusions
Fatal cases occur each year during seasonal influenza epidemics, including among young children, as recently reported in Australia(2) and USA(3).
In Hong Kong, based on the available information, the three deaths reported among children do not seem related as one was not laboratory confirmed for influenza and 2 different influenza virus strains were identified for the 2 other children.
The notification of institutional outbreaks as well as the hospital admission of severe influenza cases and occasional deaths is not unexpected in the context of the current seasonal influenza activity in Hong Kong.
Therefore, the current influenza epidemiological situation in Hong Kong is consistent with regular seasonal influenza activity and the usual prevention measures for influenza infection apply, including vaccination(4),(5).

The current situation in Hong Kong does not change the assessment for the risk for pandemic influenza(6).
