The respiratory new virus is coming?5 rumors shattered one by one!

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-30

The big and small things of the Tuzuo Banner are all in the "fusion media Tuzuo".

Myth One:

The respiratory "new virus" is coming?

The so-called "new virus" rumored on the Internet is actually syncytial virus, which has already appeared this summer, not a new virus. According to a press conference held by the National Health Commission on December 2, the current epidemic of acute respiratory diseases is caused by known pathogens, and no new infectious diseases caused by new viruses or bacteria have been found. The high incidence of respiratory diseases in China has also aroused the concern of WHO. Based on the available information, WHO has not identified any abnormal or novel pathogens, nor has it detected any abnormal clinical manifestations.

It's worth noting, thoughRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can be transmitted through droplets and contact with infected objects, is highly contagious, and is the most important viral pathogen causing acute lower respiratory tract infections in children under 5 years of age worldwide. At present, there is no syncytial virus vaccine and specific drug on the market in China. Syncytial virus can be reinfected and can easily be transmitted in the home, so in the absence of a vaccine or effective drug, infection should be prevented by strengthening personal protection.

Myth 2:

This round of respiratory diseases is the new crown relapse

The statement that this round of respiratory diseases is the resumption of the new crown is untrue. According to the report of the National Health Commission, the recent increase in acute respiratory diseases in China is mainly caused by influenza, in addition to the superposition of rhinovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus and other respiratory pathogens.

In view of the high incidence of respiratory diseases in this round, Tong Zhaohui, vice president of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and director of Beijing Institute of Respiratory Diseases, analyzedIt may be that due to the three-year epidemic prevention and control, the human body has relatively little contact with external respiratory microorganisms, and the relative resistance and immune tolerance have deteriorated. After the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the human body is prone to some respiratory symptoms when it comes into contact with these viruses again.

Myth Three:

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a new crown variant

The statement that "mycoplasma pneumonia is the new crown, but with a different name" is wrong. In fact, the two have nothing to do with each other. Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Medical Center for Infectious Diseases and professor of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, saidMycoplasma and Covid are completely different species in biological evolution, one belongs to viruses and the other belongs to Mycoplasma, and the differences between them are much greater than the differences between "humans and flies". Mycoplasma was discovered in the early 20th century, but it was not confirmed that it was a pathogen until the late 20th century, and the new coronavirus was not known until the end of 2019.

Myth 4:

Infection with superimposed pathogens can continue to worsen

Respiratory diseases?

The superimposed infection of pathogens will continue to aggravate the condition of respiratory diseases" is inaccurate, and it cannot be simply concluded that "superimposed is aggravated". Experts saySome respiratory pathogens may coexist with humans, so there is a clinical possibility that two or more pathogens may be detected, but this is not necessarily related to the severity of the disease. Only through the comprehensive analysis of clinicians and the specific situation of patients can we accurately assess the impact of superimposed infections on the condition and formulate a scientific and reasonable plan.

Myth Five:

Facing all kinds of respiratory diseases

It's useless to get vaccinated?

Vaccination is useless" is a rumor. On December 5, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued the "Health Tips for Winter Influenza Vaccination", which is clearInfluenza vaccination is an economical and effective means to prevent influenza and reduce the risk of influenza-related severe disease and death, which can significantly reduce the health hazards caused by influenza and the pressure on medical institutions.

In response to the question of "the flu has entered the high season, is it still too late to get vaccinated", the "health tips" clearly state that although the best time to get the flu vaccine is before the flu season, you can go to the vaccination site to get vaccinated throughout the flu season. This not only directly protects yourself, but also indirectly protects your family members who have not yet been vaccinated.

After clarifying 5 rumors, we recommend that you do this, which can effectively prevent respiratory diseases:

1.Get vaccinated aggressively

At present, the most effective and economical way to prevent infectious diseases is vaccination, through vaccination against new crown, influenza, pneumonia, etc., can effectively reduce the risk of infection and severe disease, especially the elderly, patients with underlying diseases, children and other key groups should be actively vaccinated.

2.Wear masks scientifically

If you go to a confined and crowded place, take public transportation or go to a hospital for medical treatment, it is recommended to wear a mask and change it in time.

3.Xi good personal hygiene

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, towel, or elbow when coughing or sneezing, and wash your hands or clean your hands after touching public facilities such as elevator buttons and door handles.

4.Adopt a healthy lifestyle

In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining adequate sleep, adequate nutrition, and appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and improve physical resistance.

5.Do a good job of self-health monitoring

If you have symptoms of respiratory infection such as fever, cough, and sore throat, it is recommended to rest at home as much as possible and avoid going to crowded places. If you do need to travel, wear a mask to prevent spreading the disease to others.
