WHO chief says world should prepare for severe flu
Countries should be ready for more serious H1N1 flu infections and more deaths from the newly discovered virus, World Health Organization chief Margaret Chan said on Friday.
The highly-contagious strain must be closely monitored in the southern hemisphere, where the winter season is beginning, as it could mix with seasonal flu and mutate in "unpredictable ways," she said.
"In cases where the H1N1 virus is widespread and circulating within the general community, countries must expect to see more cases of severe and fatal infections," she said. "We do not at present expect this to be a sudden and dramatic jump in severe illness and deaths."
According to the WHO's latest tally, the strain has infected more than 11,000 people in 42 countries, and killed 86 of them.

世界衛生組織的首長Margaret Chan星期五發表說許多國家需要對嚴重的H1N1的傳染
以及越來越多的死因於新發現的病毒要有更多的準備
她說"這高傳染性的品種在冬天剛開始的南半球需要被密切的監控
因為它可能和季節流感混合而突變成出乎意料的形式"
H1N1在一般社區是廣泛流傳的和具循環性的,國家需要預期發現更多
嚴重的和死亡的案例,她說,我們現在不能期待這件事是迅速的而且
不能劇烈遷移在嚴重疾病和死亡中
根據WTO最近的紀錄,這品種已經傳染
超過11000個人在42個國家,其中有86人死亡
世界衛生組織首長Margaret於星期五表示,各國需對H1N1更加嚴重的傳染以及因為這種新發現的病毒所增多的死亡人數作好準備。
他也表示這種高傳染性品種必定要在剛入冬的南半球受到更密切的監控,因為他會在不可預測的情況下結合季節性的感冒而發生突變
他說,各國可預期的會看到更多嚴重及致命傳染的案例在H1N1病毒廣傳的一般社區中,我們現在並不期待看到嚴重的疾病和死亡人數突然的增加。
根據WHO最近期的資料顯示,這種品種已經傳染給超過11000個人,遍及了42個國家,而其中共有86人死亡。
