Nová mutácia H3N2
V Hongkongu bol objavený nový variant sezónnej chrípky H3N2. Očkovacie látky podávané v severnej hemisfére nemusia byť proti tejto novej mutácii účinné.
Hong Kong's health authorities announced Wednesday that a new variant of the H3N2 seasonal influenza virus has been found in the city.
The Brisbane strain has been the prevalent circulator of H3N2 in the past year, and the new variant is its direct descendent, said Thomas Tsang, controller of Hong Kong's Center for Health Protection (CHP).
"However, it has some genetic changes distinguishing it from the old Brisbane strain," he said.
Tsang said although vaccines provided for the northern hemisphere may not be a direct match for this new variant, they will still provide some protection against it.
