一种流感病毒-甲型(H5N1)—以前曾被认为只感染鸟类,现在已经在香港一位去年五月死于Reye症的三岁急性呼吸道疾病患儿身上被分离出来。 然而,这只是目前为止在人类中检测到的唯一一例。世界卫生组织急性和其他可传播性疾病监控部(EMC)的Daniel Lavanchy博士肯定地认为:“现在还没有证明这种亚型的病毒能通过人-人传播。所以现在没有必要采取特殊措施。”

One of the flu viruses, type A (H5N1), previously thought to be bird flu only, has now been isolated in Hong Kong as a 3-year-old child with acute respiratory disease who died of Reye disease in May last year. However, this is the only one detected in humans so far. Dr. Daniel Lavanchy, World Health Organization’s Acute and Other Communicable Diseases Monitoring Unit (EMC), affirms in a positive light: “There is no proof that this subtype of virus can now be transmitted by humans, so there is no need for special measures now.”
