UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 The rise in superflu cases linked to the Influenza A (H2N3) virus, subclade K, has become a growing public concern. Indonesia has recorded 62 confirmed cases across eight provinces, with East Java reporting the highest number at 23 positive patients.<\/p>\n\n

Addressing the issue, 51动漫<\/a> (UNAIR) adjunct lecturer and public health specialist from the Faculty of Public Health, Dr. Windhu Purnomo, dr., MS, said the superflu cases currently identified show clinical signs similar to those of seasonal influenza.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOverall, the symptoms resemble those of common flu, including fever, cough, and runny nose. At a glance, it is difficult to distinguish superflu from ordinary flu. However, if shortness of breath occurs or symptoms persist without improvement, individuals should seek further evaluation at the nearest healthcare facility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Early detection<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Purnomo explained that confirming a superflu diagnosis requires advanced laboratory testing. One such method is Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), which is used to identify the presence of the H2N3 virus in humans. He added that superflu spreads more rapidly than typical influenza.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEven so, superflu is not considered a highly dangerous illness. This is reflected in its relatively low hospitalization and fatality rates. With a strong immune system, patients can recover on their own. Nonetheless, the disease should not be taken lightly,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n

Strategic measures<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

From a prevention standpoint, Dr. Purnomo underscored the importance of PHBS, or Clean and Healthy Living Practices. Because superflu is transmitted through respiratory droplets, maintaining personal hygiene is essential, particularly after touching shared surfaces. Regular handwashing, wearing masks, exercising routinely, and getting sufficient rest are effective measures to reduce the risk of infection.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cPeople should wear masks and cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, as droplets can facilitate the spread of superflu. The public also needs to be selective and critical when consuming information about superflu. Rely on credible sources and avoid spreading misinformation that could lead to public misunderstanding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

He further noted that continuous monitoring, or surveillance, plays a crucial role in controlling the spread of superflu. The government, he said, needs to track the number of patients experiencing influenza-like illness and follow up with WGS testing to confirm potential superflu cases.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThere is no need for the public to panic. Focus on maintaining good health and consistently practicing PHBS. In handling this situation, the government must provide accurate information and reliable data. Do not underestimate the risks, but also avoid creating unnecessary fear in society,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n
