During the last century, 3 influenza A pandemics have occurred, and pandemic influenza will inevitably occur in the future. Although the timing and severity of the next pandemic cannot be predicted, the probability that a pandemic will occur has increased based on the current outbreaks of A(H5N1) in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Because of these widespread outbreaks, the World Health Organization declared a phase 3 pandemic alert in the fall of 2005. Early detection is essential to prevent the spread of avian influenza. Planning now can be achieved by integrating interventions to ensure a prompt and effective response to a pandemic. This article provides an overview of the current status of A(H5N1) influenza worldwide and recommendations for the prevention and control of avian influenza should it emerge in humans in the United States.
在上个世纪，发生了3次甲型流感大流行，未来大流行性流感仍将不可避免地发生。尽管无法预测下一次大流行的时间和严重程度，但鉴于目前亚洲、欧洲和非洲出现的A(H5N1)疫情，发生大流行的可能性已经增加。由于这些疫情的广泛传播，世界卫生组织在2005年秋季宣布进入3级大流行预警。早期发现对于预防禽流感传播至关重要。现在可以通过整合干预措施来进行规划，以确保对大流行做出迅速有效的应对。本文概述了全球A(H5N1)流感的现状，并就禽流感在美国人身上出现时的预防和控制提出了建议。
