beej Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Dead German tourist tests positive for swine flu - Update Bangkok - A 59-year-old German tourist who died of flu-like symptoms at a Thai beach resort was initially tested positive for H1N1 at a lab in Bangkok, but authorities are awaiting further tests before confirming the country's possible first swine-flu fatality. Police Lieutenant-General Somyot Deemak, Head of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police General Hospital, said their lab had detected H1N1 in the woman's body fluids. He said further tests will be conducted at the Public Health Ministry, with an official announcement of the results expected soon. The German woman arrived in Thailand, on May 12, showing no flu symptoms, and drove to Hua Hin resort, 130 kilometres south-west of Bangkok, with her husband and their child, Health Ministry Deputy Permanent Secretary Paichit Walachit said. On Saturday, she was admitted to Hua Hin Hospital, suffering from a pneumonia and fever. She died Monday night, Paichit said. Her body was sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police General Hospital in Bangkok for autopsy to determine if she was infected with H1N1. Thailand has reported two confirmed cases of H1N1, both Thai nationals who had recently visited Mexico. Both fully recovered after receiving anti-influenza drugs. There are eight other people still in quarantine at Thai hospitals under observation for suspected swine flu. Thailand has imposed a host of preventative measures against the spread of H1N1, including the use of heat-seeking devices at the country's main international airports to detect arrivals suffering from fever. The country has a stockpile of 1.32 million tablets of oseltamivir and the Health Ministry set aside a special budget to buy enough raw materials to produce locally another 2 million tablets. - DPA / 2009-05-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Mike Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Until now, I have avoided this particular forum, simply because it is full of a lot of hearsay and wrongful quotes. However, I can assure you, the worst is yet to come. The world is facing nothing short of a very deadly epidemic. Thailand has very good doctors and a High ISO factor, yet any infrastructure albeit the USA or Thailand, or anywhere, no one is prepared for this. The best way to protect yourself is stay away from the public crowds, keep your hands clean and wear a mask if you have to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Mike Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 So do people who have had the flu become immune to the mutant strains to come ? NO not at all. Every mutation creates a new virus. Even the H1N1 of today is altered from the one that killed 50 million in 1918. The greatest fear will be when it seems to disappear and returns 6 months later in a more virulent and aggressive form, possibly combined genetically with AVIAN, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin_2 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wasn't someone wishing for Pattaya to just blow itself up? The Nation. "Thailand found 21 new cases of Influenza 2009 in Pattaya BANGKOK: -- Thailand on Thursday reported 21 new cases of the flu, all of them were discotheque staffs in Pattaya, Thai Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai said. Among the 90 samples collected from people who worked in hotel and discotheques in Pattaya, 21 of them were confirmed to be positive to the flu. The collection of the samples were conducted after two Taiwanese who visited Pattaya were found infected by the flu when they returned home. "All 21 cases which were found positive to the flu were staffs of a discotheque in Pattaya," he said. He also referred to a 11-year-old student of a private school who was infected by the flu although he had no record of travelling to a foreign country like other patients. His school suspended their classes for three days, starting today, to find the source of the flu. Witthaya said the investigation still continued and still could not find the source. He added that the ministry is still waiting for lab results of the boy's 13 classmates. "About 30 teachers of the school are scheduled to return to Bangkok next week from the United States. We will also observe them," he said. Meanwhile five more cases of the flu were confirmed on Thursday afternoon, one of them was mother of the 11-year-old infected boy. The mother had no symptom but lab test showed that she was positive to the flu. Another patient had no record of travelling abroad but he picked up his son who returned from a foreign country at Suvarnabhumi Airport recently. Two other cases were a man who just returned from Singapore and a woman who visited the US recently. The fifth was a British man who was on his way to Cambodia and made a transit at Suvarnabhumi Airport. He was found high fever and running nose. He was admitted to a hospital and lab test showed he was infected by the flu." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
