Kean Wong:And for a more in-depth look into what the EV71 virus is our Hong Kong team sat down with Hong Kong University professor Han Jinlun. Here's a look at that interview.Han Jinlun is an associate professor of pediatrics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He says that the EV71 intestinal virus was discovered in the 1970s is a common summer pandemic. It mainly triggers hand, foot and mouth disease, and its outbreak is strong.[Han Jinlun, Chinese University of Hong Kong:] male"This is a very troublesome virus. It can cause many complications, including myocarditis and encephalitis. They are all intestinal viruses. The EV71 is more inclined to cause an outbreak, particularly among children, very young children, and they all tend to have complications."Professor Han points out that in Hong Kong, there are three kinds of viruses that cause intestinal infections, including gastro-intestinal virus, rotavirus and the Norwalk virus. And the most dangerous one is the EV71 virus because there's no treatment for it.[Han Jinlun, Chinese University of Hong Kong:] male"The intestinal virus can cause death, or encephalitis. Some people with encephalitis may die, some may have permanent brain damage. It can also cause myocarditis. This virus is troublesome. Sometimes a new-born baby can also be infected, and the death rate is very high."Professor Han believes the spread of the virus may be related to environmental issues. He also believes that Hong Kong is at risk because it's so close to the mainland.We will continue to follow this breaking and developing story and will be sure to bring you the latest details as they become available.NTD Hong Kong

Kean Wong:A deadly virus spreading through several regions in China is worrying residents in Beijing. EV71, which attacks the intestines, is infecting mainly small children. Here's more from Beijing.Health authorities are battling to contain the virus that has already killed 23 children in Fuyang city, in China's eastern Anhui province. local media says that three more have died in southern Guangdong. More than 8,500 people have been infected, most of them small children.Chinese authorities are trying to control the virus in Beijing by shutting down schools and kindergartens. But parents like Mrs. Sha are still worried.[Mrs. She, Beijing Resident]:"I'm afraid of cross infections. There are so many children in public places. If my child touches toys in places touched by other children, there are chances that he will be infected. So I'm worried about that."The virus has also been linked to outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease across other provinces. According to the U.S. National Centre for Infectious Diseases cases of hand foot and mouth caused by EV71 will result in viral meningitis and death. The disease spreads mostly through contact with infected blisters or feces. Symptoms include high fever, paralysis and swelling of the brain. There is no vaccine or antiviral agent available for EV71.

ANCHOR: The outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease has spread to 13 provinces and municipalities in China. People in Zhejiang province are saying that information about the epidemic, which affects young children under the age of 10, has been covered up by Communist Party officials.STORY: People in Zhejiang say that the government has not set any control measures for the epidemic.[Shejiang Resident]: "They are not paying any attention to the people's health. Their so-called administrative method is a ruse to fool people. In order to maintain their own benefits, local officials let the people suffer. I think that all this suffering is connected with our political system, one that lacks media transparency."In Shanghai, where the epidemic has been spreading for more than a month, media reports came out only after the situation could no longer be covered up.[Shanghai Resident]: "In fact the CCP is committing crimes against our citizens. In order to maintain its political interests, it ignores people's lives. That's why the infectious diseases can spread so widely, just like SARS did in the past."Almost 6 thousand cases of hand, foot and mouth disease and 22 deaths have been documented in Anhui since May 4th. Three deaths were reported in Guagdong, which has a daily increase of 700 cases. Almost fifteen hundred cases have been reported in Beijing.NTD, China News
