(Original title: 54 people infected with H7N9 bird flu in Jiangsu last month)

Jiangsu, China, January 10 Yesterday, the Jiangsu Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission issued a statutory report on infectious diseases in the province in December last year. Last month, Jiangsu people were infected with H7N9 bird flu in 54 cases and died in 14 cases. This was the largest in the past two years. Month. However, the Provincial Health and Planning Commission stated that although the number of infections has increased significantly, the probability of a pandemic H7N9 epidemic in our province is minimal.

Three major reasons for the surge in cases

Winter is the season of high incidence of flu. Since the first case of bird flu was discovered in October of last year, only six cases of bird flu have been reported in October and November. However, in December, there were 54 cases a month and 14 deaths. In the previous 2015, only 16 people were infected and 11 people died. According to the analysis made by the Jiangsu Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission, the number of people infected with H7N9 bird flu in our province has increased since the beginning of winter. The main reasons are:

First, winter and spring are the most frequent seasons of respiratory infectious diseases. Monitoring data show that the proportion of influenza-like cases admitted to medical institutions in our province has been higher than the same period in previous years since mid-November 2016; the second is related to recent climate change. Since October 2016, the province has seen more rainy and cloudy weather, high air humidity, and high average temperatures, which helps to extend the survival time of the bird flu virus in the external environment; in addition, haze weather frequently occurs after the winter to stimulate the respiratory mucosa of the human body. The third is the presence of bird flu virus in some local live poultry retail markets, and the external environment monitoring of live poultry markets shows that the H7 virus positive rate reached 15.79% in December 2016, and the vast majority are Positive H7N9; coupled with management measures in the live poultry retail market (such as regular breaks, disinfection, clean-up, and inventory relocation) have not been implemented, increasing the exposure of the population and the risk of infection.

However, monitoring shows that the H7N9 epidemic is still spreading, and no pathogenicity or transmission has been found. The reported population characteristics and infection patterns have not changed significantly.

Widespread possibility is minimal

The provincial Health Commission pointed out that in recent years, various localities and counties have suspended various live bird trades before the New Year's Day 2017 in order to strengthen the management measures for the live poultry retail market. Experts believe that there is little possibility that H7N9 pandemic will occur in the province at this stage.

At present, the flu will gradually enter the traditional high season, experts have warned that high-risk groups infected with H7N9 bird flu are exposed to poultry or live poultry markets within 1 week before the onset, especially the elderly, with chronic underlying diseases ( Such as hypertension, diabetes) and immunocompromised people. In addition, if pregnant women are infected with the H7N9 bird flu virus, they are easily exacerbated. If you have a fever, headache, nasal congestion, cough, general malaise and other respiratory symptoms, you should wear a mask, as soon as possible to the hospital for fever clinics, and under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.

It is understood that in response to the bird flu epidemic, in early 2014, our province introduced special regulations to strengthen monitoring and detection of the epidemic and found that suspicious cases will be directed to the independent consulting room for disposal. Once diagnosed, it needs to be reported to the provincial health department within two hours, and the patient will be treated as designated. The province identified 16 hospitals and designated critical cases for treatment. The list of 16 designated hospitals is the same as last year's response to bird flu. The province has one in each city except Nanjing, which are Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing No. 2 Hospital, Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and Zhongda Hospital.
