The government does not need to declare the spread of influenza A-H1N1 as an extraordinary event. However, caution should still have the possibility of a coalition of the virus with a flu virus, H5N1.

In terms of malignancy, influenza A-H1N1, including low. One disease is called malignant when death reaches 10 percent of cases.

Can I clarify: the Indonesian Government is not concerned with any outbreak that causes less that a 10% death rate (above) - and - they must be expecting the "coalition" of H1N1 and H5N1 to surpass this figure!

Outbreaks could also stated if there are fears the A-H1N1 virus in coalition with the A-H5N1 virus. Coalition that produces a contagious disease with high malignancy.

SURABAYA - Although there are total of five patients have died from flu-A-H1N1 in East Java, East Java health office has not set a spread of this virus as an extraordinary event (KLB). But the health office of East Java's claim exceeds the effort handling outbreaks.

Head of Disease Control and Health Problems of East Java health office, said Budi Rahayu MPH, from the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the A-H1N1 flu as a pandemic, the activities carried out more on prevention.

"We can not isolate the residents to travel abroad. So our actions do more on prevention, "said Budi.

These activities build awareness of overall size in order to prevent further spread of the virus A-H1N1. He himself claimed to continue to disseminate stages, both in government and private companies with enough employees.

In terms of malignancy, said Budi, A-H1N1 virus is not too deadly than H5N1 virus (bird flu). But the attack A-H1N1 virus could be fatal and cause of death for attacking a defenseless body resistance is weak. Moreover, if the patient has other dangerous diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, epilepsy, obesity, and cancer.

"Even pregnant women are also vulnerable because the condition of the body that sometimes weak," said Budi.

Related death of four patients A-H1N1 flu in RSU Dr Soetomo in less than a week, Public Health Service of East Java has not admitted taking further action. Java Health Office will not rush to set the current conditions as an outbreak. Moreover, there has been no further instructions from the Ministry of Health.

"We're still waiting for the report whether the patients who died was caused by influenza A-H1N1 or other diseases is getting worse due to A-H1N1 virus," said Chief of East Java health office, Pawik Supriyadi.

From the information the RSU Dr Soetomo, four patients died of severe pneumonia. Pawik said, one of the reasons why the A-H1N1 flu is still considered a pandemic because the number of victims who died fairly small. According to the rules, a condition expressed as an outbreak if the disease appears certain areas that used to not exist. It could also, if patients who died from certain diseases doubled in number than before. In addition, conditions in an area previously declared an outbreak if there are no victims died, and now there is.

The same opinion expressed influenza expert from Airlangga University, CA Nidom. The reason, A-H1N1 virus has not been a cause of death. So far, the virus was only a trigger other diseases that cause death. "So there is no need to declare an outbreak of the A-H1N1," said Nidom.

In terms of malignancy, influenza A-H1N1, including low. One disease is called malignant when death reaches 10% of cases. Yet to this day flu deaths from the A-H1N1 is still below 0.5%.

Nidom added, outbreaks only need to be done if deemed necessary by the response management. This condition occurs if the budget reduction is unlikely. "The WHO says the virus is pandemic because it encourages countries to prepare the budget swiftly," he said.

Outbreaks could also stated if there are concerns the A-H1N1 virus in coalition with the A-H5N1 virus. Coalition that produces a contagious disease with high malignancy. "A-H5N1 virus spread slowly, but has a high level of malignancy. While the A-H1N1 virus spreads quickly but not too fierce, "he said. rey
