卡尔加里第一例阵亡病例

A young woman with no pre-existing health issues has been confirmed as Calgary's first death linked to the H1N1 flu.

The victim, who was not named, had been sick for about two weeks before she was admitted to a Calgary hospital on June 29, said Dr. Richard Musto, medical officer of health for Calgary and area, on Thursday.

Tests confirmed she had swine flu on June 30, and she died Wednesday night, he said.

"That's our assumption, that swine flu was a major contribution to her death," Musto told reporters.

"We're not exactly sure where she contracted it, but there's no travel history that's relevant."

Musto did not name the hospital to which the woman was admitted but said that regular procedures were followed to "effectively protect other patients and staff."

The death is the third in Alberta that's been linked to swine flu. Two women with pre-existing medical conditions — one in the Edmonton area and one in northern Alberta — were the other cases.

Alberta has registered more than 1,100 cases of swine flu since the influenza outbreak began in Mexico in March.

"This is a global epidemic; most people will only have mild illness," he said.

The majority of people who contract the virus — which comes with flu-like symptoms including fever, lethargy and coughing — recover, said Musto.

"Generally, the complication that occurs is pneumonia and respiratory failure," he said.

Not connected to children's hospital cases

Officials said the death is not connected to an outbreak this week at the Alberta Children's Hospital, when two patients and a staff member were diagnosed with the H1N1 flu. A unit on the hospital's third floor was isolated to prevent the flu's spread.

The patients were isolated in their private rooms on the weekend when they became symptomatic, and the staff member stayed at home upon becoming ill, said Musto.

Ted Woynillowicz of Friends of Medicare in Calgary questioned why officials publicized the children's hospital while the facility where the woman was treated was not named.

"I think there's kind of a lack of consistency. And I think it should be publicized if it affects the public in some way," he said.

Every year 4,000 Canadians die from the flu and a high percentage of them have underlying conditions that play a large part in making them susceptible to serious consequences when they get the flu, he said.

这次终于承认猪流感在她的死亡中占了很大因素了，以前每次都是说”不清楚猪流感在他（她）的死亡中扮演的角色‘，而且还说了在染病以前没有其它健康问题。

新的病毒总会严重扰乱人体免疫系统，往往免疫系统的过激反应会严重伤害已经不太强壮的组织，导致病人死亡。也许密切监视病人的免疫系统，降低他们的过激反应可以挽救很多生命。

在加拿大有２５例死亡病历时，我看到过一篇报道说其中的１２例是健康人，差不多是一半。

但多数文章给人的印象是基本上或９０％死亡病历是患者还有其它疾病，不知哪个说法是真的。

"死亡人士中有很大比例是健康人"的描述应该是正确的. 正如你引的文章中提到的: 即使你是非常健康, 在新病毒面前, 你也不是100%防弹的. 主要问题其实是来源于我们自身的免疫系统. 就我所了解的, 对于外来入侵物, 人体免疫系统往往很快被激活. 但激活的程度取决于对入侵物的认识程度. 如认识程度高, 如已得过的感冒病毒, 免疫系统只分泌相对应的巨噬细胞将侵略者消灭. 但如果不熟悉, 免疫系统就会不断分泌多种不同的免疫细胞, 试图消灭入侵者. 各种免疫细胞也不断变化, 以消灭入侵者. 这种反应往往导致免疫细胞对正常细胞的攻击, CYTOKINE STORM, 其结果是: 组织器官受损于免疫过激. 几年前的SARS和以往的流感大流行的高死亡率都是主要源于这种过激反应. 这很有些象白血病. 所以, 压制免疫系统过激是现在医学上的一个热点. 较常见的牛皮癣就是免疫过激的一个实例.
欢迎讨论.

我读到的官方报道每次都是后面一种说法，所以后来就很不相信了。感觉应该是前面的说法更接近事实。

你的猜想正是一些专家们在猜测的。

但另一个方面，如艾滋病人也列入了流感高危人群的行列。究竟如何，还有待于专家们的努力工作。

AIDS 病人是另一种特殊情况, 免疫系统缺乏. 当病毒进入人体并开始繁殖, 艾滋病人的免疫系统反应迟钝. 这样一来, 病毒就会大量繁殖, 攻击人体组织, 导致人体死亡.
只有免疫系统在一个适当的平衡的状态才能给人最好的保护.

活着可真不容易啊，大家一定要好好珍惜自己啊！

谢谢衣食住行的解答, 有幸遇到专业的了！

awake, 别太悲观了，活着可以很容易的，糊涂点就行！

想活明白些就不容易了，而且越明白越痛苦。
＂好好珍惜自己＂是非常有限的，象衣食住行说的那些免疫系统的东西能通过＂好好珍惜＂控制它吗？
明白的越多不知道的问题越多，越觉得控制它遥遥无期。
所以，有时候把它交给上帝或许是明智的，本来我们来到世界上的时候就什么都不知道，不是活的好好的？

好好珍惜现下的每分每秒

谢谢你安慰我，有时候想多了，真的会觉得很难受。

我觉得花儿红说得很对，做自己能做的事，其它的交给老天。
