[注意]甲型H1N1流感死亡病例均患有慢性病

美报告称美甲型H1N1流感死亡病例均患有慢性病

　　新华网华盛顿5月7日电 （记者任海军）美国疾病控制和预防中心7日发表研究报告称，美国境内确诊的2名甲型H1N1流感死亡病例染病前已患有多种慢性病。

　　这份发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的报告说，2名死亡病例中，1名为23个月大的墨西哥幼儿，染病之前他患有重症肌无力、心脏缺陷、吞咽困难等疾病；另一名为33岁的美国孕妇，她患有哮喘、风湿性关节炎以及银屑病，在患流感死亡之前2周就已住院接受治疗。

　　美疾控中心专家表示，慢性病患者感染流感后，其出现严重症状的风险更高。

　　此外，报告还显示，在美国的甲型H1N1流感患者中，90％的人出现发烧症状，84％的人咳嗽，61％的人喉咙痛，这些症状与季节性流感患者的症状类似。不过，也有四分之一的患者出现呕吐或腹泻，而季节性流感患者一般不会出现此类症状。

　　美疾控中心7日公布的最新数据显示，包括上述两名死亡病例在内，美国甲型H1N1流感的确诊病例数量已升至896例。最近几天，美国甲型H1N1流感确诊病例数量激增，疫情也蔓延至美国41个州。美疾控中心官员预计，美国50个州最终可能都将发现甲型H1N1流感确诊病例。

　　美国多位专家表示，对于甲型H1N1流感，目前仍有很多未知因素，对其仍需保持高度警惕。 (责任编辑：杨笑)

有慢性病的人是不是免疫力低下，所以比健康人容易得病。

有慢性病的人是不是免疫力低下，所以比健康人容易得病。

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirms that most new cases of H1N1 swine flu in the U.S. and Canada are being spread from person to person with no link to travel to Mexico.

Though the virus now spreads on a community level, the only deaths outside of Mexico have been in people with underlying conditions or other factors that may have made them more vulnerable to complications.

Every year seasonal flu kills thousands and thousands of people - most of them either very young, very old, or susceptible because of other conditions, usually immune system-related.

An eldery Albertan woman became the first suspected death linked to swine flu, though not much is known about her underlying health issues. Her name has not been released.

Miguel Tejada Vazquez, 2, and his family visited Houston from Mexico. He became ill while travelling and died in hospital on Monday, May 4. The young boy suffered from an autoimmune disorder called myasthenia gravis, which causes the immune system to attack and weaken muscles.

    via Medbroadcast: Myasthenia gravis is a serious condition, but not usually a life-threatening one. However, in severe cases, the chest muscles can become so weak that patients have trouble breathing on their own and may require a ventilator for a few days to a few weeks.

The second U.S. death was Judy Trunnell, 33, a Texas school teacher. She was pregnant and in a coma when she died. Her baby girl was born health via Cesarean section. Trunnell suffered from asthma and a pair of autoimmune conditions - rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis - that may have put her in danger from a new or powerful infection.

楼上发的英文什么意思？

SARS都闯过来了，还怕个鸟H1N1。

不用活了

阴影

靠!别吓我

正如 SARS 时期，加拿大一些因 SARS 死亡都患有其它的病症。因 P 要注射 MTX 必须先检查肝肾是否有问题才是负责任的医生，而且每星期都要验血。
