Swine Flu is a brand-new disease, but scientists have already come a long way in a month that the disease has been around, but they do not know what they need. There is no reason to believe that the people of the population over 60 years may be less susceptible than younger people of this influence. People over 60 should have been the viruses are exposed by the outbreak of influenza in the past, this could make immunologically resistant against theseInfluence.
Tests by the CDC took over hundreds of elderly people found to have one third of people over 60 to provide antibodies in your system, which seemed to them some protection against the new flu. These are the provisional results, the laboratory does not seem to really expose the people who pass through this influence now. Were a virus that is exposed to lower its current influence. For the reason that these tests are not the right thing, people over 60 are invited toalways exercise the same kind of precautions that everyone else does.
But to bring the studio to give us important information: the elderly, who are known to have been exposed to influenza prior certainly not some antibodies, normal people. The usefulness of these antibodies will be in a real epidemic of influenza in the world remains to be seen. These tests may help explain why it is that the current influenza epidemic that only children and adolescents seem objective. Only one out of 100influenza cases in the United States is a person of 60 years.
It is assumed that the elderly have a certain immunity if the pandemic influenza virus of 1918 were still in the air. 1918 influenza virus has had to adapt, however, almost a century, and mutate into new forms. The new virus is not the same as in the old and the elderly, the antibodies against the virus have limited old, if not complete protection against the new flu virus.
What might be surprising thatof the population, and are generally more vulnerable, may be resistant to high risk in the population that is in his prime. Antibodies are thus the reason. A vaccine, the antibody was introduced into the body to help prepare against swine flu does not yet exist, and is no longer for a few months. Vaccines against normal seasonal flu, too, offer no protection against the flu. Some people who organize in a misguided attempt to obtain antibodieswhat is called the parties to the swine flu. A friend with a slight infection of influence is the party to participate, many people called, and the hope is that this mild flu-like illness, the friend has to catch, and go quickly from the disease, with resistance against any attack to have serious influence others. The CDC has announced that this is a dangerous idea that people exposed to a terrible infection.
