Suggest аn explаnаtiоn fоr why bird flu оutbreaks have been reported mostly in Asian countries.
Frоm mid-December 2003 tо mid-Februаry 2004, а tоtаl of 23 laboratory-confirmed human cases of a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza were identified. The cases were reported in eight different Asian countries, including China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The outbreak caused worldwide concern for several reasons. Although the number of cases was small, the mortality of the resulting pneumonia was extremely high: 78% of all those infected died. The pathogen was identified as a genetically unique virus that had not previously been found to infect humans. As a result, no one was immune. Therefore, if the disease was highly contagious, it could result in a deadly pandemic. Finally, the pathogen was found to infect previously healthy children and adults rather than those who were already in poor health. Details of the transmission from poultry to humans were investigated in Thailand. Of the five case patients, four reported deaths of poultry owned by their family, and two of those four reported touching an infected chicken. The fifth patient reported having played near a cage containing infected chickens. Patient symptoms included fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and muscle aches. All of the patients experienced shortness of breath and reported to the hospital 2 to 6 days after the onset of fever and cough. After admission, the patients were appropriately treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics for community-acquired pneumonia. Laboratory tests indicated there was no evidence of secondary bacterial infection. All of the patients had respiratory failure and died 1 to 4 weeks after the onset of symptoms.

In Indiа, а prоlоnged spell оf heаvy rain in 2002 created vast pools of stagnant water that preceded an outbreak of cyclic fevers. In a 6-week period, hundreds of thousands of people in India’s northeastern Assam state became ill. The disease was characterized by a fever that began with the patient feeling intensely chilled, followed by a high, dry fever and then drenching sweats. Some fevers cycled every 2 days and others every 3 days. Associated with the fever were vomiting, intense headaches, anemia, and an enlarged spleen and liver. In Assam state, 73 people died of the disease. Examination of blood smears identified the pathogen. “At least 400,000 people tested positive,” B. K. Baishya, Assam’s disease control officer, told Reuters in Guwahati, the state’s main city. Baishya said they had formed more than 150 rapid response teams made up of doctors, nurses, and pathologists to take care of the people affected. Assam averages about 100 deaths from the disease every year. In 1995, however, more than 1,200 people died.
