INFLUENZA
A(H1N1)
|
|
Globally, the number of countries affected by Pandemic
Influenza H1N1 has been increasing. Over 70,000 cases have been detected
worldwide, including some fatalities. Indonesia recently detected cases of
Pandemic Influenza H1N1 in travelers in Jakarta and in Bali. Pandemics
occur when a new influenza virus appears and people do not have a
pre-existing immunity to it. This leads to a large number of infections,
where many people can become sick at the same time. This may then overwhelm
healthcare and other essential services.
