MEDAN - Three residents of the city of Medan, in North Sumatra, have tested positive for the H1N1 Mexican Flu. They are only identified as VC (20 years), WKC (9 years) and CV (17 years). They all live in the same street and are now treated in the Adam Malik general hospital in the city. Their blood samples were taken last Tuesday, when they were brought to the hospital, according to Azwan Lubis, the medical director of the hospital.
The head of the handling team for patients with Mexican Flu, Prof. Dr. Luhur Soeroso Sp.P. confirmed the status of the tree patients. According to him, the three cases occurred in one family. Initially five people were brought to the hospital however. All the patients were passengers on AirAsia flight AK 456 that flew from Bangkok to Medan via Kuala Lumpur late last month.
There are still 12 other patients from that same flight in hospital. In relation to this confirmation of Mexican Flu among passengers, residents of North Sumatra should be more aware for Mexican Flu. "The virus itself did not come from the area, but was brought in by travellers which made a trip abroad, but the virus can also spread in Indonesia. However the number of deadly victims is still small, we should be prepared. A healthy body and good hygiene is a good start," said Soeroso.
