Bird Influenza

Avian influenza, or bird influenza is a contagious disease brought on by viruses that generally infect only with birds. Avian influenza viruses are highly species-specific, but have on rare occasions crossed the species barrier to infect individuals.

In domestic poultry, infection with avian influenza viruses results in two main types of ailment, distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The so-called “low pathogenic” form generally causes only minor symptoms (ruffled feathers, a drop in egg production) and may immediately undiscovered. The highly pathogenic form is far more dramatic. It spreads fast through poultry flocks, causes illness which affects multiple internal organs, and comes with a death rate that can approach 100%, often within just 48 hours.”

Treatment to MRSA Infection

From a medical setting, the possibility entry ways for bacterial contamination to get into the body are broad. Wounds carried out from surgery clearly present a risk, whilst the use of needles, catheters along with other infected floors.

Normally individuals that are healthy and well are less likely to have many issues even if having close contact to the infection, however the elderly and the sick are at high risk of developing further issues. Although resistant to anti-biotics, the bacteria aren't immune. So, MRSA treatment can still be effective with normal antibiotics.

However, the dose necessary probably will need to be higher, taken more regularly, and over a more continual period of time. More MRSA treatment info at http://biocence.com.

New York State, the state's local health departments and the federal government are actively involved in planning for the possibility of an influenza pandemic. View and print the 2008 Influenza Pandemic Plan here.
