新型
昨日、インフルエンザのAが来ましたが、(患者から)もう保健所からは新型かどうかの検査はしないと言われたそうです。また、応援に行っている基幹病院の(新型インフル用の)隔離のプレハブ室も撤去されていました。とうとう蔓延状態となりました。

symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of
seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body
aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have
been infected with novel H1N1 flu virus also have reported diarrhea and
vomiting. The high risk groups for novel H1N1 flu are not known at this time,
but it’s possible that they may be the same as for seasonal influenza.
People at higher risk of serious complications from seasonal flu include people
age 65 years and older, children younger than 5 years old, pregnant women,
people of any age with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or
heart disease), and people who are immunosuppressed (e.g., taking
immunosuppressive medications, infected with
HIV).There are two
influenza antiviral medications that are recommended for use against novel H1N1
flu. The drugs that are used for treating novel H1N1 flu are called oseltamivir
(trade name Tamiflu ®) and zanamivir (Relenza ®). As the novel H1N1
flu spreads, these antiviral drugs may become in short supply. Therefore, the
drugs may be given first to those people who have been hospitalized or are at
high risk of severe illness from flu. The drugs work best if given within 2 days
of becoming ill, but may be given later if illness is severe or for those at a
high risk for
complications.
