Mr. Olive, representative of World Health Organization WHO answered reporters O2TV situation dengue fever and influenza A/H1N1 in Vietnam service

- Hello Mr. Olive, first, that he would get the WHO dengue fever situation in Vietnam today.

- Viral hemorrhagic fever is a major service in Vietnam. This is a disease that if you are infected to the 2nd, it will become known as dengue hemorrhagic fever is very dangerous.

This is kind of fever caused by mosquitoes and causes, so it is difficult to control, especially in environments such as in Vietnam, which have automatic waters to spawn mosquitoes.

The most important is the need to implement preventive measures, because there is no medication for dengue fever. Note that mosquitoes causing dengue fever usually appears on the second time - the early days to start and end of the day. Remember to remove the conditions for mosquito breeding resident, ie places with the automatic, as in the bottle jack pot plants, flowers, places of stagnant flow. This should try to sense the people in the community.

One important thing is to detect the disease early. Please note if you have symptoms such as fever, red spots were the popular, headaches need to hospital for tests. If the disease is to care in time, if infected, then the 2nd Left need special care. And remember whether children or adults are also not taking aspirin.

- WHO has supported what measures to help prevent service VN fever is not dangerous extra he?

- WHO has supported the implementation of diagnostic methods to check dengue. We also support the implementation of the survey information on the disease situation appears and treatment. If the patient was bleeding too much, must be a blood transfusion.

However, to prevent the progress of this fever, need the cooperation of many parts of the community to destroy mosquito breeding places. This is a challenge because in many other countries, such as Singapore is a very modern country and many difficulties on this issue.

- Recently in Vietnam began to have some co-infected with dengue fever and influenza A/H1N1. Even had deaths. How do you think about this situation, with special treatment for these cases not?

- This is entirely possible that when these two diseases occur together in the same time. No special treatment at all. Infected person will first be treated and antipyretic two separate diseases, treatment for dengue and treatment for H1N1 flu. Two people were infected with the disease will risk the health risks higher, because their immune systems had to put a lot of energy to fight a disease then, and then infected with a disease other, so resistance will be weaker.

- Again about influenza A/H1N1. Translate this flu seems no sign to stop the spread of the TG. That pregnant women is one of the objects that can be affected by the flu this service most. However, in Vietnam, many pregnant women infected with influenza A/H1N1 do not want to take medication Tamiflu medication by e fear bad influences to the fetus. He comments about this?

- Pregnant women are susceptible subjects complications, especially complications of pneumonia if infected with influenza A/H1N1 because more power to maintain their immune system is weaker than normal. So, if diagnosed with influenza A/H1N1 infection they need medication Tamiflu. It is true that during pregnancy, should take as little medicine as possible, but in some cases the medication is still needed. Tamiflu does not have to affect the fetus, adding that this is just to buy the medicines prescribed by a doctor, so should not be a problem for pregnant women at all.

- An issue was disturbed again, seems in many countries in the TG, people from influenza A/H1N1 refused vaccination. According to a statistics report, there are more than 80% of Swiss people do not want this vaccine. What makes people not want to inject this vaccine so? WHO has recognized what the side effects of this vaccine?

- They reject vaccination because they were not witnessed the danger of disease. They often think, oh, it's not important where. We have witnessed in many places, people refuse vaccination, but the community that the deaths immediately to 90% of people want the vaccine. Talk about side effects, a flu vaccine, the manufacturing technology does not use anything completely strange at all. Therefore, serious side effects are extremely rare. In addition WHO are supporting the government to check the quality close vaccine. So far, 20 million doses of vaccine have been distributed in the world and no matter what happens.

- Thank you very much for the chat.
