Taiwan Travel

ACUTE VIRAL INFECTION - TAIWAN - Travel Medicine Program - Public Health Agency of Canada Travel Health Advisory ACUTE VIRAL INFECTION - TAIWAN Health Canada is currently monitoring an extensive outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Taiwan, reported to be caused by enterovirus 71(EV71). Cases have been reported in all regions of Taiwan, with the highest number from the Northern Region. Various reports indicate that the total number of children affected throughout the island by HFMD is between 60,000 and 300,000. According to reports, a total of 55 children have died. Taiwanese health authorities are conducting an epidemiological investigation of the cause with assistance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cause and extent of the epidemic remains to be confirmed. In the meantime, parents have been warned by Taiwanese authorities not to bring their children to public places where they can be exposed to the virus. Enterovirus 71 was initially recognized as the cause of outbreaks of aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain) and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in children in California between 1969 and 1972, and has subsequently been reported in Sweden, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, Hungary, France, and the states of New York, Alaska, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania. The mode of transmission is presumed to be similar to most enteroviruses, that is, predominantly fecal-oral spread. Most symptomatic infections occur in children less than 6 years old, and very young children have a disproportionately high number of cases of encephalitis. Regardless, it is apparent that the spectrum of clinical illness has varied considerably among outbreaks of infection reported from different locations. In this particular outbreak, deaths have occurred in children as old as 12 years old. There is no specific treatment for EV71. The management of the illness is on a symptomatic basis. Until the exact cause of this outbreak is more clearly defined and the causative virus is clearly identified, families travelling with small children to Taiwan should take the following precautions: Avoid all crowded areas. Wash hands before eating. Observe strict personal hygiene, including thorough washing of the hands after defecation and before handling food or caring for children. Ensure cleanliness in the home and clean all shared toys carefully. The Travel Medicine Program wishes to remind travellers to this area to follow good hand washing practices. Additional information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Countries: Argentina Belize Bolivia Brazil Chile Costa Rica Cuba Ecuador El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Netherlands Antilles Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Surinam Trinidad & Tobago Uruguay Venezuela The first occurrence in my life of South America was when I read Tintin and the Suntemple at a very young age (I must have been around 9 years old). On the first page of the album, there is a map with the West side of South America and I can remember how far, remote and unreachable that area seemed to me. Callao was the magic name. In 1989, when I studied Spanish in Madrid, for the first time in my life South America came closer. People in my school were studying Spanish because they were planning to go to South America. At that time, I had travelled already here and there, mainly in Europe, and also in Asia and Africa. But still "thinking West" was still something I did almost not consider. Nevertheless, it took me less than a year to start working as a flight attendant and then North America came into quick reach. My first wish for a flight was to be South America. By that time, end 1990, I was already fascinated by the stories, the pictures, and moreover my Spanish has become fluent. The first visit to South America, which took me to Rio de Janeiro and Santiago de Chile, was above my expectations. From that time, it has been my favourite destination, and I spent many holidays and working trips in one of the many South American countries.My first holidays I went to Guatemala and Belize, and I was struck by the many colours everywhere, in the clothes of the people, the landscapes, the villages. People often ask me which is my favourite destination, and I always answer: South America. It has much more to offer than many people think. Its inhabitants are mostly extremely friendly, interesting, and interested. Therefore: welcome to the Colourful Continent!
