高峰期預估 台灣新流感人數恐近700萬

中國時報【黃文正、戎華儀/綜合報導】

H1N1新型流感來勢洶洶,疾病管制局局長郭旭崧預估,未來新流感感染進入高峰期,國內感染人口將達三成,醫院門診量將暴增三到五倍;政府將會提高抗病毒藥物準備量,克流感和瑞樂沙的儲備量為二比一。依據郭旭崧局長的預估,高峰期台灣的新流感感染人數將近七百萬人。

美國「總統科技顧問委員會」廿四日發布的報告則示警說,H1N1新型流感疫情若不幸在今年秋冬大爆發,最嚴重的情況恐造成半數美國民眾感染,而可能有一八○萬名患者住院,以及多達九萬人喪命,死者泰半將是兒童和年輕人。

國光生技公司研發長何美鄉宣布,新流感疫苗的人體試驗人數將由兩百人增為三百人。受試者包含老人、小孩都有,九月廿五日施打第一劑,十月十六日施打第二劑。如果順利的話,十一月中旬一般民眾就可開始接種新流感疫苗,十二月底最後一批新流感疫苗也將到位,加總將達一千萬劑。

郭旭崧表示,從六月底監測以來,多數人感染新流感為輕症,沒使用克流感也能康復,與國外預期趨勢相符。只要堅守政策方向,病患及時投藥,就可避免疫情擴大。截至昨天為止,重症有四十四例,其中廿九人已出院,住在一般病房和加護病房的各有五人,另有五人死亡。

美國最新出爐的報告指出,今年秋冬H1N1新型流感若大流行,加上原來的季節性流感,將導致全國加護病房數量嚴重不足。PCAST估計,今年秋冬,恐怕會有一八○萬人因H1N1新型流感住院,而最多將有卅萬名重症患者需住進加護病房,接受特別醫療照護。

報告估計,H1N1新型流感在今春首次爆發後,最快可能於九月學校開學後二度來襲,而十月中旬將是疫情高峰期。然而,十月中旬之前,H1N1新型流感疫苗數量確定不敷所需,況且在施打疫苗之後,人體尚需數周才可產生免疫抗體。時間上的延宕,加上錯過疫情高峰期,恐令重金採購的大批疫苗無用武之地。

PCAST的其它建議還包括:

一,規畫數套因應新型流感大流行的假想狀況,藉以擬定抗病毒藥物與疫苗供給以及醫療照護的需求。

二,設監管體系,追蹤類流感病例資訊。

三,制定保護高危險群計畫,譬如孕婦及已罹患其他疾病者。

四,加快製造H1N1疫苗,並趕在九月中旬前首次量產,提供四千萬人搶先接種,尤其是罹患重症者。

It's no suprise ! And it's no mystery why Singapore Medical Board decides to pull the plug on counting H1N1 infected .
Because from the looks of the rocketing figures.

It will soon hit the roof in no time. And it won't do any good in any countries !

It is no mystery why taiwan can be courageous enough to post in on the newspaper and be truthful about it and yet sinkieland still dare not to show it in the newspaper and be forefront about it.
