Zambo health officials probe 'severe type' of pneumonia
Zamboanga City?s health office was reported to be studying a severe type of pneumonia among its residents. 1,500 patients suspected to be affected by the severe pneumonia were subjected to series of tests by the Department of Health.
City Health Officer Rodel Agbulos said that a recent study by DOH among pneumonia patients showed that a "vectoral viral strain" was present.
Agbulos said they have already coordinated with the regional health office on how to further study the disease. Agbulos however said that residents have nothing to worry about since the virus is a common upper respiratory tract infection although, he also said, it is stronger than ordinary pneumonia and is not common to local residents. The virus could have been brought by those who are coming in and out of Zamboanga City including deportees from Malaysia.:tiphat: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=128477

:tiphat: Helblindi 1,500 Zambo residents have traces of Malaysian flu
16/08/08
Local health workers in Zamboanga City said Saturday at least 1,500 residents have been found with traces of the "Malaysian flu."
Rodel Agbulos, Zamboanga City health officer, said the Malaysian flu or the Malaysian strain virus could have been brought to southern Mindanao by the Filipino illegal immigrants who were recently deported back to the country.
Agbulos said the Malaysian flu became prevalent in several Zamboanga City residents after the massive deportation of the illegal immigrants from Malaysia.
Agbulos added that the flu could have been reached the city because of its proximity to Malaysia.
The health officer said "vectoral viral strain" was detected in tests conducted on the 1,500 pneumonia patients in the city. He said the city health office has alerted the regional office about the presence of the Malaysian flu.
Agbulos, meanwhile, calmed residents who have become worried of the Malaysian flu. He said the strain virus is "only a common case of pneumonia."
Malaysia has been struck by the dreaded "avian flu" famously called the Bird flu. Its government ordered the killing thousands of birds and chicken were killed to prevent the deadly influenza virus from spreading.
