Rock Flu spreads out to 't Gooi

Published on July 14, 2009, 21:10

HILVERSUM --

Swine flu which already infected six Belgian visitors to Rock Werchter field, is also found in the 21-year-old festival goer Maarten from Markus Loosdrecht. This is the fourth scheduled flu victim in 't Gooy in June since the disease was discovered by a boy in Hilversum.

The Loosdrechter was sick last week returned from Europe's largest rock festival, which was already a flu case was known. For Markus Paul was a father and two, but he went to the doctor but was disappointed. ,, Werchter in Belgium were sick visitors the opinion is at a hospital to be tested, but the GGD in Hilversum did not want to test. And even though he had all the symptoms.''

For so soon as possible to obtain assurance, Markus drove with the doctor decreased nasal smear of his own son to the laboratory in Hilversum . That sent the material to a specialized laboratory in Amersfoort, where the flu was found.

According to Markus, it is for their own precautions to thank that no other family members become ill. The Loosdrechter works for a company that produces vaccines and knows about viruses. ,

, We got him in the attic held in quarantine and are consistently two meters away from him.''The patient is now almost cured and may leave today his isolation. The Loosdrechters worries are over. ,, My wife works with elderly. It would be a disaster if the disease would have spread.''

Hilversum GGD-doctor infectious diseases Jacqueline Sleven knows the case, "Werchter in Loosdrecht. The GGD refused to test Maarten Markus , is right.

Only those who meet national criteria - flu symptoms, high fever and less than seven days ago in Mexico or the United States - are tested.

According Sleven, there are many more cases of swine flu and the number now 164 cases confirme is the tip of the iceberg. , Most patients do not take the trouble to go for a treatment.''

Number of infected cases no longer will be updated in the Netherlands. Only hospitalisations and deaths.


Current situation as of august 7, some snips from RIVM website (RIVM = Dutch CDC):


Cumulative numbers

Hosptitalisations 17

Pneumonia 26

Deaths 1



Number of underlying ilnesses in cases of pneumonia or hospitalistion:


Age: 4 – 51 jaar, median 20 years (n=37)

Pulmonary disease / COPD / asthma 10

Diabetes 2 *

Immune disorder 1

Muscle or joint disease 2

Other 1

Unknown 7

No underlying illness 15

* Including 1 patient with diabetes and immune dysfunction


My conclusion: 40% of H1N1 patients with pneumonia and/or in hospital are "young and healthy".


more: http://www.rivm.nl/cib/binaries/H1N...cm92-61018.pdf# class=

It seems to early to say what caused the relative high percentage of "young and healthy" with serious symptoms .

At the moment a lot of cases in the Netherlands are young people coming back from a holiday ("swine flu party") in Spain.

Few elderly are infected, may be because this group does not travel as much as the younger groups.

Only in a later stage, with much more infected people we can know more.

In the meantime we should not be surprised to find more serious cases in young and healthy people.

National Health Service - supported by most doctors - says: "It is just ordinary flu". OK, you have some riskgroups, may be they should worry.

Majority companies not prepared for flu

GRONINGEN - Two thirds of the Dutch companies don't prepare for the
swine flu. They have no protocol and take no action to
prevent contamination of their workers at the workplace.

This is the result of a survey of over five hundred respondents to the National Vacaturebank Tuesday presented.

Almost 70 percent of respondents said despite the growing number of cases
of the swine flu in the Netherlands not to be afraid to get contaminated doing their job.

For companies that have prepared for possible contamination at the
workplace, almost one third of workers says they will ignore the precautions.

Over 30 percent of the respondents is afraid to be infected by one of its
colleagues. The investigation involved both workers and employers.
