Deadly Flu’s

    In recent times, world has experience scores of deadly flu’s, ironically which started from western & develop countries of globe and these countries are believe to be highly hygienic as far food material productions are concern, yet they were source of deadly flu’s like –

• Mad Cow – England
• H1N1 Virus or most commonly known as bird flu – Europe
• Mexico – Swine Flu

later on these flu spread in the other parts of world, from all the above coded virus’, swine flu spread very quickly in all the continents of globe, perhaps because of movements of the patients from one place to another without knowing that they are victim of swine flu as in the beginning it was not traced and later on after research it was declared highly deadly virus, even after very few days of swine flu’s outbreak World Health Organisation(W.H.O.) declares it as epidemic and was not sure how much swine flu is going to effects the globe? Thanks to effective measures of the different countries and awareness campaign which resultant control of swine flu. It is shocking to code here that despite it is believe bird flu and swine flu is under control in the world and whenever any person with specific symptoms & victim of any flu then with isolation and timely treatment not only he/she can recover but also avoid to spread virus to other peoples, but if somebody go through the information available in the country related to swine flu and bird flu then two states of the country are recently in the grip of both the flu’s, these two states are Punjab and Tripura. From Punjab state cases’ of swine flu are reported and Tripura’s one of the government poultry farm reported of bird flu stains in the birds, thus authority culled all the birds of poultry farm and even radius comes under the 1.8 meter culled all the birds of poultry farms in anticipation to avoid from bird flu to spread in that area. Most horrifying declaration comes from the Punjab state’s health department that swine flu virus has changed itself from its previous avatar that is why cases of swine flu in the state are appearing and it has also combination of other factors which is lack of dedicated swine laboratory in the state, and that’s why sample of patients send to National Institute for communicable disease, New Delhi, yes it exit in the Chandigarh but unfortunately it is not operational and closed because of technical problem to the machines despite authority is claiming soon it will starts work again.
     Punjab state health department reports of one death each in the districts of Kapurthala and Fatehgarh Sahib and two more deaths reported in the March month at Dayanand Medical College, Ludhiana but until reports are not available these two fresh cases are put in suspicious category as there samples have sent to National Institute for communicable disease, New Delhi, so reports of these two fresh cases samples are waiting. Swine flu patients needs to get medical treatment within five hours but sample send to New Delhi gets time to reach six hours plus patients in the state comes for treatment at fag end when swine flu virus takes control of patient body, then to save patient is not easy task for medical team, till date total one hundred and eighty seven cases of swine flu are reported, and for such a deadly flu Punjab state has not even single swine flu laboratory is working as Chandigarh lab is close down, so alternatively samples send to the National Institute for Communicable Disease, New Delhi and patients gets swine flu treatment once report collected by concerned hospitals. Past ten days, only from Dayanand Medical College Ludhiana, six samples were sent to NICD and five were reported positives of swine flu. As per words of medical experts change of nature of swine flu is becoming major obstacles in giving patients treatment. To make public aware experts wants awareness programme in the state and also advise if anybody get problem in breathing, cough and nasal then he/she does not take it lightly and consult with experts.
   In Agartala of Tripura state reports of bird flu in one of the government poultry farm resultant not only culled all the birds but also birds from other poultry farms which comes under the radius of three kilometer in anticipation of bird flu stain. It is alert to health authority of concerned area to be vigil against the flu’s and provide most needy testing dedicated labs and also assure public to cooperate if they were under sign of swine flu virus other wise lazy approach towards swine flu can become serious crises. Tripura state health authority needs to be alert and take appropriate actions to stop bird flu from spreading.
