Winter and spring are the seasons with a high incidence of respiratory diseases. Many friends said that the previous wave of the peak of the first wave had just been recruited, and recently "lost" under the small peak of the second stream. What is the current incidence of influenza in Huizhou? How can members of the public effectively prevent influenza?
The reporter learned from the central hospital that in 2023, the number of fever outpatient visits will exceed 100,000. Among them, from November 2023 to January 8, 2024, the number of fever patients will reach more than 30,000, and the majority of patients will be children with mycoplasma pneumonia, followed by patients with influenza A.
Wang Guobiao, Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Huizhou Central People's Hospital:At present, according to my analysis, there is no obvious downward trend in the number of flu fever patients, and they remain in a stable state.
It is reported that "influenza" is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza viruses that is highly contagious and spreads quickly, and is divided into three types: A, B, and C. According to the doctor, 10 influenza-like case specimens are sampled and sent by the hospital every week, of which seven or eight cases are positive for influenza A and B.
Wang Guobiao, Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Huizhou Central People's Hospital:The performance of this year's flu gave me the impression that it spreads relatively quickly, that is, after a person is infected, the family may come to the hospital one after another. You may start with a little fatigue and dizziness, and then soon develop chills, chills, high fever, body aches, joint pain, sore throat, etc., which are similar to our previous flu symptoms, and the fever level will be higher in children.
According to doctors, the mode of transmission of influenza virus is mainly airborne, and influenza vaccination is the most effective means to prevent influenza. In addition, citizens also need to strengthen their physical fitness, develop good living habits, and always take protective and protective measures.
Wang Guobiao, Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Huizhou Central People's Hospital:Everyone should pay attention to vaccination, especially the elderly, patients with chronic diseases, patients with chronic tumor immunodeficiency and children.
