Dr. Abdeen also pointed out that the campaign will give special attention to those at higher risk, including children, the elderly, patients with chronic illnesses, and pregnant women, and stressing on the need to visit the nearest health center as soon as symptoms manifest in order to conduct the necessary tests that verify if the patient has contracted the H1N1 virus or not, and to provide the needed treatment.

He called for vigilance and increased efforts as well as close coordination.

[The most recent WHO influenza global update (Influenza (112): WHO update 20121210.1445344) reported that: "Influenza activity has been noted in the North Africa and Eastern Mediterranean region at low levels. Algeria has reported some transmission of influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses. Bahrain has continued to report influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 detections in recent weeks. After previous influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus detections, Israel is now reporting mainly influenza A (H3N2) at low levels."

It is not clear from the Palestinian Authority statement whether the H1N1 virus responsible for the current influenza outbreak is the A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic virus or another H1N1 virus, or whether other influenza viruses are circulating and have been detected. In addition information on the treatment offered and the vaccination status of the population would be welcomed. - Mod.CP]

Yes Alert. I do not understand the mod's comment. The H1N1 "swine flu" is the novel H1N1pdm09.

Craig Pringle (CP) likely intended the 'old seasonal' strain A(H1N1), almost completely displaced since the emergence of H1pdm09. Despite this, it is not impossible that a localized outbreak of the old seasonal virus could recur if some conditions permitted.

Also, H1N1 may be of swine or avian origin but in this case the cross-reactive antibodies against H1pdm09 should block early its spread.

If an H1 'totally of animal origin' should emerge it remains to be established whether the diagnostic kit would be able to detect it without much more precise genetical testing.
