[돼지독감] 일본, 타미플루 내성 환자 확인

Tamiflu-resistant swine flu patient found in Japan: govt

TOKYO (AFP) – A genetic mutation of swine flu that is resistant to the anti-viral Tamiflu has been discovered in Japan, the first such case in the country, the health ministry said.


It was the second reported case of Tamiflu resistance linked to swine flu in less than a week.


The latest case was found in a patient who had been given the drug since first being diagnosed with A(H1N1) around two weeks ago, Kyodo news agency reported Thursday, citing the Health, Welfare and Labour Ministry.


The patient — a woman in Osaka prefecture — was recovering after having been given Ralenza, an alternative anti-flu medication, the report said.


A spokeswoman for Swiss pharmaceuticals giant Roche, which makes Tamiflu, said the company had been informed of the case and called it “normal.”


“It is absolutely normal,” she said, adding that “0.4 percent of adults develop resistance” to Tamiflu.


She said the case does not indicate Tamiflu has become less effective against swine flu.


Danish authorities announced earlier this week they had discovered resistance to Tamiflu in a female patient. Ralenza was also used successfully to treat her.


According to the latest World Health Organization figures, Japan has 1,266 reported cases of swine flu, but has so far recorded no fatalities.

(도쿄 교도=연합뉴스) 인플루엔자 A[H1N1](신종플루)를 치료하는데 쓰이는 항바이러스제인 타미플루에 내성을 보이는 환자가 일본에서 처음 발견됐다.

   일본 후생노동성의 한 관리는 2일 “타미플루에 내성을 보이는 바이러스가 오사카현의 한 여성 감염자로부터 검출됐다”고 말했다.

   이 여성 환자는 다른 항바이러스제인 렐렌자를 복용한뒤 증세가 호전됐다.

   앞서 덴마크에서 타미플루에 내성을 나타내는 환자가 지난달말 처음 확인됐다.

   이 여성 환자는 신종플루 환자와 직접 접촉한 뒤 예방 차원에서 타미플루를 투여받았으나 결국 감염돼 다른 항바이러스제를 복용한뒤 회복됐다.
