KTDT - At the National Steering Committee Meeting prevention and pandemic influenza in the 16 / 9, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Central had a talk around the problem this.

Since the beginning of week to date, the number of patients infected with influenza A/H1N1 consecutive increase rapidly, about 200 patients a day. To pm 16/9, Vietnam has recorded 5648 cases of positive, including 6 deaths, and most focus on ages 11-25 years old.

Steering Committee meeting at National prevention and pandemic influenza in the 16 / 9, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Central had a talk around this issue .

Increased number of patients mutations in a few days to a matter of not worrying, sir?

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien: Influenza Surveillance at 15 key points to monitor flu in the country last week showed that 70% of patients in 10/15 point monitoring with positive influenza A/H1N1. This confirms further that the spread of influenza A/H1N1 in a stronger community.

World Health Organization (WHO) has identified that the outbreak of influenza A/H1N1 not be prevented. With Vietnam, the last time we tried a lot to reduce the spread, compared to many countries, the number of questions and particularly mortality due to influenza A/H1N1 in Vietnam is lower (about 0.1%).

However, this is a new disease, people can not protest, and the degree of exchange as at present is to increase patients infected with influenza A/H1N1 in the near future is unavoidable. What people should be noted that 70% of deaths worldwide are chronically infected, 30% of the rest are people without a history of illness. In particular, young people are subjects that influenza A/H1N1 attack most, but not the elderly.

The World Health Organization has yet to explain this and still continue to study why young people so susceptible.

When young people were subject to attack of the epidemic influenza A/H1N1, the object here is to be given priority vaccines used (if any) he is not extra?

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien: Currently, the Ministry of Health is continuing to discuss and proceed to complete room schemes using influenza A/H1N1 vaccine period 2009-2010.

But according to my opinion, is the view of many countries around the world are young people as a priority area of influenza A/H1N1 vaccine inoculation.

Expected, priorities turn to those subjects at high risk will be: health workers directly treat influenza A/H1N1; pregnant women; children between 6 months and older, chronic illness; group aged 15-49, 50-64 years old, the same as 65 years or older. Therefore priority should be subject to a lot.

Will Vietnam be able to buy enough vaccine needed, while WHO recommends a limited amount of vaccines?

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien: Latest information that I know of vaccine production in the world production is about 4.9 billion doses. Issues raised with us now is to buy vaccines type 1 vaccine dose or two doses. If you choose to buy a dose of vaccine, Vietnam can still buy enough vaccines should be used within one year is about 5 million doses of vaccines.

So the waiting time as the current vaccines, people need to "deal" with influenza A/H1N1 like? How can avoid the unfortunate death, while many patients without expression influenza A/H1N1?

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien: According to the WHO, the majority of the ca influenza A/H1N1 is currently out of order, that is not what the treatment. Point of WHO and Prevention-Center for Disease Control United States to the morning after treatment is not something for people with mild flu. If treatment on a large scale happens drug resistance status.

The WHO also recommended, if treated early, they must within 48 hours early, late treatment, the risk of death higher.

Particularly in Vietnam, today took to compile influenza A/H1N1 in provinces not the same, there are only a few places and only ca, but where the rate increased rapidly as in Ho Chi Minh. Thus, in each province / city should have a different response.

People should not exceed confusion, anxiety, need to protect themselves and the community by successful implementation of preventive measures into using recommendations of the Ministry of Health. When patients need to be expressed immediately medical facility for examination and treatment in time, limiting complications and death seriously. /
