    Posted: July 05 2006 at 11:54am
I started a H5N1 Treatment Brainstorming page on the FluWiki which lists the symptoms I have read The symptoms listed were found in NEJM Sept 2005, Influenza Report, and an article in Chest. See H5N1 case reports page here.

My apologies if some symptoms listed below are redundant. I have no medical education. There is just too much speculation and it seems we need to stay focused on the facts. Hopefully this can serve as a knowledgebase helping experts focus. Then we need to educate medical professionals from all disciplines, home health aides, and parents about what to really expect. Please feel free to collaborate on making this page useful for diagnosis and treatment.


Symptoms include (please add anything that is missing)
Aminotransferase levels increased
Bleeding from the nose and gums
Cough
Diarrhea (watery) without blood or inflammatory changes (in 40-70% of the cases according to anon_22 retired MD on the FluWiki)
Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD)
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Dyspnea
Encephalitis
Encephalopathy
Fever
Gastroenteritis
Hemophagocytic syndrome
Hyperglycemia complications from corticosteroid treatment
Infiltrates, interstitial
Leukocyte count decreased
Lymphocyte count decreased
Lymphoid tissue necrosis and atrophy
Lymphopenia
Malaise
Myalgia
Platelet count decreased
Pleuritic pain
Pneumonia, viral
Proinflammatory cytokine cascade
Pulmonary infiltrates
Rhinitis (although upper respiratory symptoms may be absent)
Segmental or lobular consolidation with air bronchograms
Sputum production is variable and sometimes bloody
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome
Tachypnea
Thrombocytopenia
Viremia
Vomiting

I thought it would be useful if we break each symptom down by
Clinical Presentation
Description
How To Measure
How To Treat

If the Pandemic Flu hits in my country,  and then my State,  I will ASSUME that any member of my family that gets sick has caught it and act accordingly.
 
The classic fever/gastro/pains will all be obvious I am sure.
 
My Dr says all an untrained person such as me can do is lower fever (Paracetamol) , treat dehydration with Oral Rehydration Solution, and treat the gastro, and pray.
 
He said Tamiflu is very hard to get, super expensive, and probably useless.
