INFLUENZA A H1N1 MILIKI PERSAMAAN DENGAN AIDS
ALARMING WHO STATISTIC ABOUT FLU AH1N1
1. WHO data continue to show that certain medical conditions increase the risk of severe H1N1 and fatal illness. These include respiratory disease, notably asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and immunosuppression.
2. WHO estimates that more than 230 million people globally have asthma, and more than 220 million have diabetes. Obesity may also worsen the risk of severe infection, WHO said.
WHO Warns of Severe Form of H1N1 Virus
Saturday, August 29, 2009/Reuters/Times
Doctors are reporting a severe form of H1N1 that goes straight to the lungs, causing severe illness in otherwise healthy young people and requiring expensive hospital treatment, the World Health Organization said Friday.
Some countries are reporting that as many as 15 percent of patients hospitalized with the new H1N1 pandemic virus need intensive care, further straining already overburdened healthcare systems, WHO said in an update on the pandemic.
"During the winter season in the southern hemisphere, several countries have viewed the need for intensive care as the greatest burden on health services," it said.
"Preparedness measures need to anticipate this increased demand on intensive care units, which could be overwhelmed by a sudden surge in the number of severe cases."
Earlier, WHO reported that H1N1 had reached epidemic levels in Japan, signaling an early start to what may be a long influenza season this year, and that it was also worsening in tropical regions.
"Perhaps most significantly, clinicians from around the world are reporting a very severe form of disease, also in young and otherwise healthy people, which is rarely seen during seasonal influenza infections," WHO said.
"In these patients, the virus directly infects the lung, causing severe respiratory failure. Saving these lives depends on highly specialized and demanding care in intensive care units, usually with long and costly stays."
MINORITIES AT RISK
Minority groups and indigenous populations may also have a higher risk of being severely ill with H1N1.
"In some studies, the risk in these groups is four to five times higher than in the general population," WHO said.
"Although the reasons are not fully understood, possible explanations include lower standards of living and poor overall health status, including a high prevalence of conditions such as asthma, diabetes and hypertension."
WHO said it was advising countries in the Northern Hemisphere to prepare for a second wave of pandemic spread. "Countries with tropical climates, where the pandemic virus arrived later than elsewhere, also need to prepare for an increasing number of cases," it said.
Every year, seasonal flu infects between 5 percent and 20 percent of a given population and kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people globally. Because hardly anyone has immunity to the new H1N1 virus, experts believe it will infect far more people than usual, as much as a third of the population.
It also disproportionately affects younger people, unlike seasonal flu which mainly burdens the elderly, and thus may cause more severe illness and deaths among young adults and children than seasonal flu does.
"Data continue to show that certain medical conditions increase the risk of severe and fatal illness. These include respiratory disease, notably asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and immunosuppression," WHO said.
"When anticipating the impact of the pandemic as more people become infected, health officials need to be aware that many of these predisposing conditions have become much more widespread in recent decades, thus increasing the pool of vulnerable people."
WHO estimates that more than 230 million people globally have asthma, and more than 220 million have diabetes. Obesity may also worsen the risk of severe infection, WHO said.
The good news — people infected with AIDS virus do not seem to be at special risk from H1N1, WHO said.
PESAKIT BERISIKO TINGGI SAJA PERLU JALANI UJIAN
HANYA ibu mengandung, pesakit obesiti, asma, diabetes, mempunyai imuniti rendah dan sakit jantung PERLU MENJALANI UJIAN Influneza A H1N1. Pesakit yang mempunyai simptom seperti influenza (HLI = Influenza like Illness) bukan dari kategori di atas hanya perlu berehat/mengambil cuti sakit sahaja serta tidak perlu bergegas ke Hospital Kerajaan, menurut KP KKM.
Untuk maklumat pengunjung, kos minima untuk satu ujian swab tekak ialah RM200/= tidak termasuk ujian darah atau kahak atau hingus.
‘Usah panik serbu hospital’
PUTRAJAYA: Orang ramai tidak perlu bersesak di hospital semata-mata untuk menjalani ujian Influenza A (H1N1) kerana hanya mereka yang tergolong dalam kategori berisiko tinggi saja yang akan diberi keutamaan.
Mereka adalah ibu mengandung, obesiti, asma, diabetes, mempunyai imuniti rendah dan sakit jantung.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican, berkata beliau mendapat maklumat orang ramai panik dan membanjiri hospital untuk menjalani ujian, walaupun hanya mempunyai simptom ‘influenza like illness’ (ILI) yang ringan.
“Mereka yang mempunyai simptom ILI ringan dinasihatkan berehat di rumah dan mematuhi nasihat kesihatan kerana 98 peratus daripada mereka akan sembuh dalam tempoh dua hingga tiga hari.
“IMR (Institut Penyelidikan Perubatan) menerima sehingga 500 sampel ujian H1N1 setiap hari, tetapi 80 hingga 90 peratus keputusan adalah negatif.
“Ia menyebabkan IMR terpaksa menanggung beban kerja, sekali gus membazirkan masa, tenaga dan wang.
“Justeru, kita meminta kerjasama daripada semua pihak supaya hanya menghantar kes yang disyaki H1N1 untuk ujian pengesanan,” katanya pada sidang media di Kementerian Kesihatan di sini, semalam.
Hadir sama, Pengarah Bahagian Kawalan Penyakit, Datuk Dr Hassan Abd Rahman.
Sementara itu, Dr Mohd Ismail berkata, semua hospital kerajaan dan 22 hospital sudah dibekalkan ubat antiviral manakala semua klinik kesihatan yang mempunyai pegawai perubatan akan dibekalkan bermula hari ini.
Katanya, klinik swasta boleh membeli antiviral daripada syarikat farmasi berkaitan kerana syarikat terbabit sudah memberi jaminan mempunyai stok mencukupi.

CENTRE FOR DISEASE CONTROL RECOMMENDS 2 GROUPS FOR H1N1 VACCINE
2 recommendations by CDC exist that target 5 groups to receive the vaccine:
First
* Pregnant women,
* household contacts of children who are younger than 6 months of age,
* healthcare workers and emergency medical services personnel
* children and young people between the ages of 6 months and 24 years of age, and
* nonelderly adults with underlying risk conditions or medical conditions that increase their risk for complications from influenza.
Second:
* Pregnant women,
* household contacts of children who are younger than 6 months of age,
* healthcare workers and emergency services personnel who have direct patient contact or direct contact with infectious substances,
* children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years of age, and
* children 5 to18 years of age who have underlying risk factors that put them at greater risk for complications of influenza.
CDC Issues H1N1 Vaccination Recommendations
Emma Hitt, PhD
July 30, 2009 (Atlanta, Georgia) — New H1N1 influenza vaccine recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest priority distribution among 5 groups.
The CDC announced the recommendations in a press conference held after an "urgent" meeting of the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices yesterday.
Recommended Target Groups
Anne Schuchat, MD, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases with the CDC, announced that the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices recommends that 5 target groups receive the vaccine:
* Pregnant women,
* household contacts of children who are younger than 6 months of age,
* healthcare workers and emergency medical services personnel,
* children and young people between the ages of 6 months and 24 years of age, and
* nonelderly adults with underlying risk conditions or medical conditions that increase their risk for complications from influenza.
The committee also addressed the issue of what to do in the event of a vaccine shortage and how to prioritize those groups who should receive the vaccine.
"In general, under most circumstances, we really ought to promote vaccine in all of these 5 focus groups, and...picking them or prioritizing some before others would not benefit the public," Dr. Schuchat said. The CDC's estimate of the target groups totals 159 million individuals, but "there's a lot of overlap in some of the groups...[it is] probably a lower number than that," she said.
"Just in Case" Prioritization Group
However, the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices also proposed a priority group consisting of a much smaller group, about 41 million individuals, that should be vaccinated in the event of a shortage. These include
* Pregnant women,
* household contacts of children who are younger than 6 months of age,
* healthcare workers and emergency services personnel who have direct patient contact or direct contact with infectious substances,
* children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years of age, and
* children 5 to18 years of age who have underlying risk factors that put them at greater risk for complications of influenza.
According to Dr. Schuchat, the real operating assumption is that they will "go forward with the broader group," she said.
Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Remains Important
According to the CDC, the seasonal influenza vaccine remains very important. "Our assumption is that it is very likely [that seasonal influenza and H1N1 vaccines] can be given together," Dr. Schuchat told Medscape Infectious Diseases during the briefing. "There will be more data coming out...but it is likely they can be given at the same visit," she said. According to Dr. Schuchat, 2 doses of the vaccine will probably be needed, with 15 μg antigen/dose.
"The recommendations make sense on the basis of what we know about this virus," said John Bartlett, MD, chief of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Baltimore, Maryland.
"Of interest is the observation that persons over 64 years, a high priority for seasonal flu vaccine, are not included here," he told Medscape Infectious Diseases. "That decision is based on the curious observation that the people born before 1957 appear to be relatively well protected from infection or serious disease with this strain of H1N1 virus." According to Dr. Bartlett, it appears that a similar strain circulated before 1957, accounting for this protection; other comparable viruses also have circulated more recently.
"Pregnant women and young people seem to be especially susceptible to [the H1N1] influenza strain and also to bad outcomes when infected," he said. "But the elderly should get [the] seasonal flu vaccine, since they account for the vast majority of the 36,000 deaths attributed to seasonal influenza in the average season" he added. "In fact, most people should get seasonal flu vaccine. The current indications for that vaccine apply to about 80% of the US population."
Production a Concern
Dr. Schuchat noted that the production of the H1N1 vaccine could be unpredictable. "Right now, we are to on track, expecting vaccine doses in the fall," she said, adding that "exactly how many [doses will be available] exactly when will be tough to pinpoint."
"Production is a concern, since the novel H1N1 virus does not grow well in eggs, and 2 doses are likely to be necessary," said Dr. Bartlett. If the virus thrives in the fall in the Northern hemisphere, "it will be a challenge to be ready," he said.

W.H.O GENERAL ADVICE ON H1N1 PERSONAL PREVENTIVE MEASURES
PELAJAR SEKOLAH ANTARA 50 MANGSA INFLUENZA A HINI DI NEGARA INI
Satu kes Influenza A (H1N1) melibatkan seorang pelajar perempuan berusia 11 tahun dari SRJK (C) Jalan Davidson di Kuala Lumpur telah disahkan hari ini menjadikan kes Influenza A (H1N1) di sekolah itu kepada tiga sekaligus memaksa pihak berwajib menutup sekolah berkenaan selama seminggu.
Seorang pelajar tahun lima dari Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Assunta 2 di Petaling Jaya dan pelajar tingkatan empat dari Sekolah Menengah Shah Alam merupakan antara lapan kes H1N1 terbaru yang dilaporkan hari ini juga.
Ini menjadikan jumlah kes Influenza A (H1N1) di seluruh negara sebanyak 50 setakat ini.

SRJK Jalan Davidson Ditutup Akibat H1N1
PUTRAJAYA, 21 Jun (Bernama) -- Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SRJK) (C) Jalan Davidson di Kuala Lumpur menjadi sekolah pertama di negara ini yang ditutup akibat penularan virus Influenza A (H1N1).
Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin berkata penutupan sekolah berkenaan selama seminggu telah dimaklumkan kepada beliau oleh Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai tengah hari tadi.
Menurut beliau, langkah tersebut adalah keputusan yang telah dipersetujui selepas Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) bermesyuarat minggu lepas.
"Kita telah bersetuju untuk mengambil tindakan ini mengikut protokol yang ditetapkan selepas mesyuarat beberapa hari lepas. Ia perlu untuk mengelakkan virus ini terus merebak.
"Walaupun hanya seorang pelajar yang dijangkiti tapi dia mendapat virus ini menerusi rakyat Malaysia yang lain dan telah menjangkiti dua pelajar lain jadi tindakan Kementerian Kesihatan untuk menutup sekolah berkenaan adalah wajar," katanya kepada pemberita dalam sidang akhbar selepas pertandingan akhir Kejohanan Rowing Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM) di Kompleks Sukan Air di sini hari ini.
Beliau menyatakan demikian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai penutupan SJKC Jalan Davidson berikutan penularan tempatan virus H1N1 melibatkan pelajar sekolah itu.
Muhyiddin yang juga Menteri Pelajaran berkata, selain dari mengkuarantin pelajar terbabit, pemantauan rapi akan dilakukan ke atas sekolah itu sepanjang ia ditutup.
"Jika keadaan bertambah baik ia akan dibuka semula selepas seminggu. Kita tidak dapat mengelakkan perkara ini daripada berlaku. Walaupun saya tidak mahu pembelajaran murid-murid ini terganggu tapi keselamatan para pelajar itu perlu diutamakan terleboh dahulu. Jangan tunggu sehingga ia menjangkiti lebih ramai pelajar kerana pada ketika itu, semua sudah terlambat," katanya.
Beliau berkata, kesemua ibu bapa diminta agar memahami sepenuhnya tindakan berkenaan sekaligus memberikan kerjasama kepada pihak sekolah untuk memastikan semua perkara berjalan dengan lancar.
Menjawab soalan sama ada MKN akan menutup dua sekolah lagi di Selangor berikutan kejadian yang sama, Muhyiddin berkata buat masa ini tidak perlu.
"Keadaan masih terkawal untuk dua sekolah berkenaan dan kami masih memantau perkembangan lanjut. Buat masa ini kesemua langkah-langkah pencegahan telah dijalankan sebaik mungkin," katanya.
Seorang pelajar tahun lima dari Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Assunta 2 di Petaling Jaya dan pelajar tingkatan empat dari Sekolah Menengah Shah Alam merupakan antara lapan kes H1N1 terbaru yang dilaporkan hari ini.
Muhyiddin turut menolak kemungkinan untuk mengenakan saringan kesihatan ke atas setiap murid sebelum mereka memasuki perkarangan sekolah seperti yang diamalkan di negara jiran Singapura.
Mengulas lanjut beliau berkata langkah itu dianggap sebagai drastik dan boleh mencetuskan kebimbangan yang tidak terkawal di kalangan masyarakat setempat, khususnya ibu bapa.
"Walaupun kita mengambil berat dan memandang serius penularan virus ini, kita mahu ia dilakukan dengan teratur dan tepat, bukan mencetuskan kebimbangan yang tidak berasas dengan pergi ke semua sekolah dan memeriksa semua pelajar, ada lebih lima juta pelajar.
"Saya rasa Kementerian Kesihatan lebih tahu apa yang wajar mereka lakukan mengikut kes yang diterima. Itu sudah memadai," katanya.
Kementerian Pelajaran juga jelas beliau, tidak bercadang mengenakan sekatan atau larangan untuk para pelajar mengunjungi negara-negara terlibat walaupun mereka dinasihatkan untuk menangguhkan perjalanan itu sehingga keadaan pulih sepenuhnya.
"Mereka patut mengelak dari mengunjungi negara-negara terlibat tapi pada setakat ini, kita masih belum mengeluarkan larangan seumpama itu. Jika kita melarang semua orang pergi ke mana-mana, ia juga akan menimbulkan masalah lain," katanya.
Terdahulu, Liow mengumumkan satu lagi kes Influenza A (H1N1) melibatkan seorang pelajar perempuan berusia 11 tahun dari SRJK (C) Jalan Davidson di Kuala Lumpur disahkan hari ini, menjadikan jumlah kes Influenza A (H1N1) di seluruh negara sebanyak 50 setakat ini.
Menteri itu berkata pelajar tersebut adalah rakan sekelas kepada kes terdahulu di sekolah berkenaan iaitu di Kelas 5(I), menjadikan kes Influenza A (H1N1) di sekolah itu kepada tiga, dua daripadanya kes penularan tempatan.
"Kami akan memantau sekolah itu dari dekat bersama guru-guru dan PIBG," katanya kepada pemberita selepas melawat sekolah itu.
Sebelum itu pelajar perempuan kelas yang sama telah disahkan menghidap penyakit itu pada pukul 6.30 pagi hari ini.
Menurut Liow kedua-dua pelajar perempuan berkenaan duduk berdekatan (di dalam kelas) dengan pelajar pertama sekolah itu yang mendapat jangkitan Influenza A (H1N1) selepas melawat Melbourne.
Berikutan itu Liow mengumumkan penutupan SRJK (C) Jalan Davidson ditutup mulai 19 Jun (Jumaat lepas) sehingga 26 Jun minggu depan sebagai langkah pencegahan penularan jangkitan penyakit itu di kalangan warga sekolah.

HUSBAND SUES PIG FARM USD 1 BILLION OVER WIFE'S H1N1 RELATED DEATH
Trunnell and his lawyer, Marc Rosenthal, do not claim that Smithfield purposely bred the virus, but rather that its Perote operation, which raises some 1 million pigs annually in close quarters, established the necessary conditions for the virus to arise. If Smithfield had taken better care of its farm, the petition claims, H1N1 might never have been introduced to the world.
"We think that the conditions down there are a recipe for disaster," says Rosenthal. "This type of virus is more likely to evolve and mutate in this much filth and putrescence. It's more than a mere coincidence that the first cases emerged right there in La Gloria, Mexico."
H1N1 Virus: The First Legal Action Targets a Pig Farm
In an initial step toward what could be the first wrongful-death suit of its kind, Texas resident Steven Trunnell has filed a petition against Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork producer, based in Virginia, and the owner of a massive pig farm in Perote, Mexico, near the village of La Gloria, where the earliest cases of the new H1N1 flu were detected.
Trunnell filed the petition in his home state on behalf of his late wife, Judy Dominguez Trunnell, the 33-year-old special-education teacher who on May 4 became the first U.S. resident to die of H1N1 flu.
In late April, Dominguez Trunnell, who was eight months pregnant, became ill with what would eventually be confirmed as H1N1 flu. While the vast majority of victims of the virus — there have been more than 4,700 probable and confirmed cases in the U.S. — have recovered without complications, Dominguez Trunnell grew sicker, eventually being placed on a ventilator. Early this month Dominguez Trunnell passed away, weeks after her baby daughter was delivered via cesarean section. "She was a fun and caring person," Trunnell tells TIME. "She didn't deserve this."
Trunnell's petition seeks to investigate claims that the H1N1 outbreak began in Smithfield's massive pork operation in La Gloria and that the virus may have been caused in part by the conditions under which the farm operates, which the petition terms "horrifically unsanitary."
"This affected my family," says Trunnell, a paramedic who will now be raising two children on his own. "I need someone to be held accountable for this."
If Trunnell ends up following through with a wrongful-death suit against Smithfield Foods, it will most likely make legal history. No one has ever tried to hold a corporation responsible for the inadvertent creation of an infectious disease. Trunnell and his lawyer, Marc Rosenthal, do not claim that Smithfield purposely bred the virus, but rather that its Perote operation, which raises some 1 million pigs annually in close quarters, established the necessary conditions for the virus to arise. If Smithfield had taken better care of its farm, the petition claims, H1N1 might never have been introduced to the world.
"We think that the conditions down there are a recipe for disaster," says Rosenthal. "This type of virus is more likely to evolve and mutate in this much filth and putrescence. It's more than a mere coincidence that the first cases emerged right there in La Gloria."
The suit will hinge on the fact that the first confirmed case of H1N1 appears to be a 5-year-old Mexican boy from La Gloria who lived not far from the Smithfield pork-farming operation. Local villagers had been complaining about the smell and the vast amounts of manure created by the Smithfield pig farms for some time, and H1N1 infection rates in the community were high. The idea that factory farming — where pigs are packed together closely — could provide a breeding ground for new viruses also has some scientific backing. A recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that such operations could increase the risk for transmission of new viruses, including swine and avian flu.
To date, 34 countries have reported 7,520 confirmed cases of H1N1 infection, including 60 deaths in Mexico. In the U.S., the death toll reached four on Friday, and scientists studying the virus say the novel flu virus appears to be about twice as contagious as the regular seasonal flu. Although the "H1N1 virus tends to cause very mild illness in otherwise healthy people," according to a World Health Organization statement on Monday, "the youth of patients with severe or lethal infections is a striking feature of these early outbreaks."
The outbreaks have been a minor catastrophe for pork producers. Though international health officials were quick to assure the public that the disease initially known as swine flu could not be contracted by eating pork, consumption of pig products dropped rapidly in the wake of the virus's spread. "That is our biggest concern — the economic impact of people shying away from eating our product over fear," C. Larry Pope, CEO of Smithfield Foods, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on May 5. The National Pork Producers Council estimated that between April 24 and May 1 — the most frenzied days of the H1N1 outbreak so far — the disease cost the pork industry $7.2 million a day.
If Trunnell's claim goes forward, Smithfield will face more serious problems. But that's a big if. Scientists are still far from certain where the H1N1 virus originated or how long it may have been circulating in pigs or people (the first human outbreak is thought to have occurred in February). So far, no pigs have been found to be infected with the virus, other than at one farm in Canada on May 2, where the swine were actually infected by a human worker. And on May 14, Smithfield announced that Mexican authorities had completed tests of the company's pigs in Perote and found no evidence of the virus in the swine. (It's not clear what test Mexican authorities used; only blood tests for antibodies can confirm the virus.)
Rosenthal says he doubts the Mexican tests and wants to have the Perote pigs examined by his own experts. Having Smithfield report on the tests "is like the fox guarding the henhouse," he says. If the case goes forward, Trunnell will be suing Smithfield for up to $1 billion, which would include punitive damages, and Rosenthal indicates that he would be open to launching a class action on behalf of other H1N1 victims.
Reached for comment, Smithfield declined to discuss Trunnell's petition.
New viruses have emerged from animals to infect and kill humans for thousands of years, and while today's factory-farming conditions may raise that risk, it will be tough to hold any one corporation responsible. But Steven Trunnell wants to fight. He says that, contrary to early media reports, his wife Judy had no underlying medical complications and was healthy before she contracted H1N1. "She accomplished so many goals, and she was the mother to a 4-year-old," he says. "It was a gross injustice." Viruses, however, have no sense of justice — and no court in the world will be able to change that.
SELESEMA A (H1N1) PERTAMA DI MALAYSIA

pagi kelmarin. Pelajar berkenaan mengalami demam, sakit tekak dan sakit badan semalam dan dimasukkan ke Hospital Sungai Buloh pada hari yang sama.
Kes pertama selsema babi di Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, 15 Mei (Hrkh) - Kementerian Kesihatan hari ini mengesahkan bahawa seorang pelajar berusia 21 tahun menjadi mangsa pertama dijangkiti wabak influenza A (H1N1) atau selesema babi di negara ini
"Kementerian ingin memaklumkan mengenai satu kes yang dimasukkan ke Hospital Sungai Buloh dan telah disahkan positif influenza A (H1N1) melalui ujian makmal yang dilakukan pada 15 Mei 2009," kata Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican yang dipetik daripada laman web.
"Ini merupakan kes yang pertama influenza A (H1N1) dikesan diMalaysia."
Pelajar itu, dipercayai dari Amerika Syarikat pada Rabu lalu, mula mengalami demam, sakit tekak dan sakit badan semalam dan dimasukkan ke Hospital Sungai Buloh pada hari yang sama.
"Beliau telah diberi rawatan antiviral dan berada dalam keadaan stabil," kata Dr Mohd Ismail dalam satu kenyataan di laman web rasmi kementerian berkenaan.
Kementerian Kesihatan telah mengambil tindakan pencegahan dan kawalan termasuk penyiasatan perhubungan mangsa dengan orang lain, termasuk ahli keluarga beliau dan penumpang serta anak kapal penerbangan MH 091 dari Newark, USA yang tiba di lapangan terbang KLIA pada 7.15 pagi kelmarin.
Kementerian juga meminta semua penumpang dan anak kapal pesawat tersebut supaya menghubungi talian 03-8881 0200 atau 03-8881 0300 untuk tindakan susulan.
Menurut kenyataan itu lagi, kementerian meminta semua klinik dan hospital swasta agar sentiasa merujuk segera kes-kes mereka yang baru kembali dari negara yang dilanda wabak tersebut dan mengalami gejala-gejala seperti demam dan salah satu daripada gejala berikut: batuk, susah bernafas, sakit badan, sakit kepala atau sakit tekak ke hospital-hospital rujukan yang telah ditetapkan.
Sehingga jam 12 tengah malam tadi, selain kes di atas, Pusat Tindakan dan Persiapan Krisis (CPRC) kementerian menerima 11 lagi notifikasi kes - enam kes dimasukkan ke wad pengasingan Hospital Sungai Buloh, dua di hospital Seremban dan masing-masing satu kes di hospital Ipoh, Hospital Pulau Pinang dan hospital Kota Bharu bagi tujuan siasatan dan pemerhatian.

Kes Influenza A (H1N1) Pertama Malaysia: Rakyat Dinasihat Tidak Panik
PUTRAJAYA, 15 Mei (Bernama) -- Rakyat Malaysia dinasihat tidak panik setelah kes pertama Influenza A (H1N1) dikesan di negara ini melibatkan seorang pelajar lelaki berumur 21 tahun yang baru pulang dari Amerika Syarikat, Rabu lepas.
Pemangku Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha berkata kementerian telahpun mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga termasuk dengan melakukan kuarantin rumah bagi kesemua lima anggota keluarga pesakit itu, walaupun tiada antara mereka yang menunjukkan sebarang simptom setakat ini.
Beliau berkata mereka yang mempunyai kontak secara terus dengan pesakit itu termasuk kakitangan hospital yang memeriksanya turut diletakkan di bawah pemerhatian.
Kementerian Kesihatan dengan kerjasama Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) juga sedang menghubungi penumpang-penumpang dalam penerbangan tersebut untuk diperiksa, katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.
Beliau berkata terdapat 199 penumpang dan krew dalam penerbangan tersebut tetapi tidak semua penumpang terbabit berada di negara ini memandangkan ia merupakan penerbangan transit.
Kong, yang merupakan Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan memangku jawatan tersebut kerana Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai Liow sedang dalam perjalanan ke Geneva, Switzerland, untuk menghadiri Perhimpunan Agung Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO).
Ditanya mengapa virus itu tidak dapat dikesan ketika pemeriksaan dibuat di lapangan terbang sebaliknya hanya dapat dikesan selepas dua hari apabila pelajar itu dimasukkan ke hospital, Kong berkata ia kerana virus itu tidak menyebabkan demam serta-merta.
