Re: Hong Kong: Swine and Seasonal Flu Monitor人類豬型流感及季節性流感直擊 (2010-2011)
Local Situation of Influenza Activity (as of February 23, 2011)
本地流感流行情況 (截至2011年2月23日)
Reporting period: February 13 - 19, 2011 (Week 8) 報告週期：2011 年2 月13 日至19 日(第8 週)
The latest surveillance data showed that the overall influenza activity remained at high level but has decreased as
compared to the past few weeks.
最新的監測數據顯示整體流感活躍程度仍維持在高水平，但較過去數週下降。
Influenza A(H1N1)2009 (i.e., human swine influenza) constituted about 90% of the currently circulating influenza
viruses. The remaining ones were influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B. They were antigenically similar to this year's
vaccine viruses, so the vaccine would be able to provide protection against influenza infection.
甲型(H1N1)2009 流感病毒 (即人類豬型流感病毒)佔現時流行的流感病毒約九成，餘下包括甲型（H3N2）流
感及乙型流感病毒。現時流行的流感病毒在抗原上與今年的季節性流感疫苗的病毒相似，故接種疫苗能有效
預防感染流感。
The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) has collaborated with the Hospital Authority and private hospitals to
monitor influenza associated intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and deaths since January 24, 2011. So far, CHP
recorded 100 severe cases (ICU cases or deaths), including 20 fatal cases (as of February 23).
自2011 年1 月24 日起，衞生防護中心聯同醫院管理局及私家醫院監察入住深切治療部的流感個案及與流感
相關之死亡個案的統計數字。截至2 月23 日，本中心目前共錄得100 宗嚴重個案(需深切治療或死亡)，包
括20 宗死亡個案。
The local influenza activity is expected to remain at a high level during the next few weeks. Target groups are
advised to receive influenza vaccinations as soon as possible to protect their health.
本地流感活躍程度預料會在未來數星期維持在高水平。目標組別人士應盡快接種流感疫苗以保障健康。
In week 8, three cases were reported to have severe paediatric influenza-associated complication, involving one boy
and two girls. Their ages ranged from 5 months to 2 years old. Their clinical specimens were tested positive for
influenza A(H1N1)2009. One of them had been discharged. In the first 4 days of week 9 (February 20 to 23, 2011),
one case of severe paediatric influenza-associated complication involving a 56-day-old boy was reported. His
nasopharygeal aspirate specimen was tested positive for influenza A(H1N1)2009. He is now in serious condition.
第8週有3宗兒童流感相關之嚴重併發症的報告，涉及一男兩女。患者年齡由五個月至兩歲。他們的臨床樣本
對甲型(H1N1)2009流感呈陽性反應。其中一人已出院。第9週的首4天 (2011年2月20至23日) 有1宗兒童流感
相關之嚴重併發症的報告，涉及一名五十六日大男童。他的鼻咽分泌樣本對甲型(H1N1)2009流感呈陽性反
應。他現時情況嚴重。
