ISTANBUL - 103 people in Mexico is causing the death of the 'pig flu' epidemics, led to panic in many countries. Virus in the United States, Canada, Spain, Brazil and Australia have been found. 20 people in five states of the U.S. swine flu was diagnosed. Mexico and the United States, then Canada is the country of the swine flu cases officially announced.

World Health Organization, the disease is to get out of control may be an epidemic alert in the large-scale, while many countries of the Americas countries to stop buying live pigs and pork announced.

Experts to plan for the near epidemic of swine flu epidemic in Turkey in the likelihood sıçarama, the course of the epidemic, the impact and the measures that need to be told.

Prof. Dr. Haluk Eraksoy (Turkish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases):
From HUMAN TO HUMAN CASE is to
Pigs can also affect people the flu, even if this had a virus that can infect people ... The first step of the virus passed from animal to people that probably should have occurred. This second step in the human flu table is spread to people. But people infected people, of course, be more difficult than a step. At the moment it is the realization of the World Health Organization for an official explanation has been made from. However, the number of cases among humans is the realization of the spread suggests. This worrying situation.

For example, bird flu and we need to establish a similarity, it is difficult for people from bird flu in kanatlılar know if the infection is still very difficult to get into people, but people also know that. Yet now the virus disease in pigs, it seems to have overcome these obstacles and carry the potential to spread to people from people.

Diseases of the SEE must be careful to go near
The country will go to see the citizens of the disease in terms of the risk of an infection, as well as people from that region in our country if they carry the virus must consider the virus can bring.

Here, of course, the standard or classic ways to protect against the flu need to remember. Is a disease spread by droplets from the flu, is spread by respiratory secretions. Sneeze, sneeze droplets core of the human person through the hair to make the spread. Remember to go to the country on the disease that is required to apply, there are thought to be patient with people who are sensitive on this issue closely and have are temasata.

Assoc. Önder Ergönül (Marmara University Faculty of Medicine Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Faculty Member):
TURKEY BUT LOW POSSIBILITY sıçraması any chance to
They come to Turkey for the possible epidemic. Although Mexico is a country very far from us as a result of the globalization of transport that is more theoretical because kolaylaşaması. Obviously not a very high probability, but in practice.

However, how the epidemic will be watching very important. Swine influenza virus of the epidemic in 1918 in line with the Spanish show. Virus epidemic in 1918 approximately 30 million Hispanic people had to die, and the dynamics could not be known very clearly. At this time the death of swine flu rate is approximately 2 to 5 per cent is around watching. This seems rather low.

The spread of the epidemic closely associated with the measures to be taken. Mexico and around the country to take measures of a very critical, so the President of the World Health Organization, the interested person and every country in the course of the epidemic in the country sees its own reporting suspicious cases of swine flu. All cases are collected, at this stage we really a very serious way and to follow the course of the epidemic, and we need to be careful in Mexico is associated with travel.

Assoc. Kenan Keskin (Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialist):
CHANGING GENETIC STRUCTURE OF VIRUSES are of
Influenza viruses in general, A, B, C types are available. Over time the genetic structure of viruses, the mutation changes also occurred in a team and as a result of this new virus can act as a virus.

People such as virus and bird flu viruses different viruses, often seen as a pig in a single structure, makes the infection, these viruses to exchange genetic material between them are a team. So a mixed virus emerges. Here a completely different virus emerges.

AŞISI NO
Today there is a vaccine produced only against human viruses. In addition, the need of new bird flu and a vaccine for the swine flu virus does not exist.

Symptoms indistinguishable from GRİBİ
Pigs at the beginning of the flu, no different from the normal flu symptoms, no symptoms of disease are the same. Diseases 38 degrees past a fever, headache, nose and face in the eyes glow discharge as symptoms are often flu symptoms arise.

Age groups affected by a difference not much really. But when the disease emerged in the course of years may be different. Especially in new born babies, the elderly, some with diabetes, heart disease, respiratory system diseases such as systemic disease with a team who are more heavily watched.
