Many recent outbreaks of influenza A (H1N1) in the world, especially in Brazil, it has become clear that the severity of the disease is not known in the same form. On Wednesday, June 7, 2023, Brazil notified the WHO of a fatal case of human infection with a variant of the influenza A(H1N1) virus of swine origin, this case was confirmed in a laboratory in the region of the interior state of Paraná. This is the first human infection caused by an influenza A (H1N1) virus reported in 2023 nationwide in Brazil. To mitigate H1N1 flu in Brazil, we urge the Brazillian government through its Ministry of Health to improve on mass awareness about the signs and symptoms of H1N1 flu among the Brazillians. The Brazillian government should also implement the One Health approach towards the control of H1N1 flu in Brazil, as we believe that these recommendations would go a long way in preventing future cases and the spread of H1N1 flu in Brazil. This article aims to present the clinical presentations of the H1N1 flu and the implications, recommendations and the way forward to protect the Brazilian population against the H1N1 flu.
世界上近期出现了多起甲型H1N1流感疫情,尤其是在巴西,很明显,该疾病的严重程度并不相同。2023年6月7日星期三,巴西向世界卫生组织通报了一例人感染源自猪的甲型H1N1流感病毒变异株的死亡病例,该病例在巴拉那州内陆地区的一家实验室得到确诊。这是2023年巴西全国范围内报告的首例由甲型H1N1流感病毒引起的人类感染病例。为减轻巴西的H1N1流感疫情,我们敦促巴西政府通过其卫生部提高巴西民众对H1N1流感症状和体征的认识。巴西政府还应在巴西实施“同一健康”方法来控制H1N1流感,因为我们相信这些建议将大大有助于预防未来病例以及H1N1流感在巴西的传播。本文旨在介绍H1N1流感的临床表现以及保护巴西民众免受H1N1流感侵害的影响、建议和未来方向。
