Abstract

Influenza viruses from chickens (H5N1) have caused outbreaks in children from both Vietnam and Thailand in 2004. All infected patients presented with fever and cough. Striking laboratory findings included leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. All children who developed progressive pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome died. However, very few children received antiviral therapy.

摘要

2004年，来自鸡的甲型流感病毒（H5N1）在越南和泰国的儿童中引发了疫情。所有感染患者均出现发热和咳嗽症状。显著的实验室检查结果包括白细胞减少和血小板减少。所有发展为进行性肺炎并伴有急性呼吸窘迫综合征的儿童均死亡。然而，接受抗病毒治疗的儿童极少。
