Fever 39.7℃ It turned out that the influenza A virus was at work
On the evening of July 22, the fever clinic of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital was as busy as ever. Suddenly, a pair of parents hurriedly rushed into the fever clinic with their child in their arms: “Doctor, help us to see!My child’s fever temperature is 39.7°C, and it doesn’t stop Coughing and cramping!”The pre-check nurse on duty at the door immediately guided the parents to the emergency room of the fever clinic, where physical cooling, oxygen inhalation ECG monitoring, and blood oxygen saturation were performed. Monitoring, blood draws at the bedside, collection of flu swabs and new crown swabs… A series of diagnosis and treatment work is being carried out in an orderly manner. The results came out soon, and the diagnosis was a flu virus! After the corresponding treatment was given, the child’s body temperature gradually decreased, and the convulsions were also controlled. She was admitted to the pediatric ward for further treatment due to seasonal influenza virus infection. Some people may wonder, doesn’t the flu always appear in winter and spring? Why is it suddenly active this time in summer? Jin Jie, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, introduced that the large-scale national influenza outbreaks are concentrated in winter In the spring season, however, this year’s influenza outbreaks began to appear from south to north in the summer. Compared to last year, this year’s wave of flu is very strong. “Because there are many people who think it’s over and won’t go to the doctor for the flu, the actual number of infected may be higher.” In the past three months, the number of such patients in the fever clinic of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital has increased significantly. According to the relevant data from the Department of Prevention and Health Care of the First City Hospital, influenza A patients accounted for a large proportion, among which 18 were diagnosed in May, 6 There were 161 confirmed cases in the month, 1408 cases in July.
Anti-seasonal flu is on the rise
or some of the reasons below< /strong>
Why the recent fever clinicssudden increase in influenza populationthere may be the following reasons ↓↓↓First of all, the high temperature is common in many places this year, and the cold air conditioner has become everyone’s “life-sustaining artifact”, from the hot outdoor to the indoor , hot and cold, it is easy to catch cold and catch a cold, especially with poor immunity old man and child. Added to the lack of ventilation, if one person gets the flu, it can easily lead to everyone being infected. On the other hand, in an air-conditioned environment for a long time, the secretion of respiratory mucosa, especially the nasal mucosa will decrease, In this way, the nasal cavity is easy to dry and chapped, and when the immune system of the body is weakened, it is easy to cause virus infection. In addition, the outdoor temperature is too high, people’s activities are correspondingly reduced, and they rarely go out to exercise.In this way, the body’s immunity will also decline, and if coupled with irregular life and rest, it is easy to be “entangled” by the flu.
Influenza≠common cold
Contagious and more severe< /span>
Some people despise the flu, thinking that it will be fine to carry it for a few days, take some cold medicine, drink more hot water, and cover the sweat, but this is really not the case! Because the flu and the common cold are not on the same level in terms of infectivity or lethality. “Among the patients diagnosed in the past, it is not uncommon for a family to be recruited from parent to child, or from child to parent, and it is not uncommon for a family to be recruited. Sometimes the child recovers and the adult falls again.” Jin Jie introduced . Not only that, relevant data show that there are about 3 to 5 million severe influenza cases worldwide each year, and the mortality rate of severe influenza cases is about 10%. In other words, nearly one in 10 severe flu patients dies. In most uncomplicated flu patients, symptoms resolve within 3 to 7 days, but recovery of cough and physical strength often takes 1 to 2 weeks. In the event of sudden onset, high fever, body aches, chills, chills, fatigue, cough, loss of appetite and other symptoms, be aware that you may have contracted the flu, < /span>See a doctor as soon as possible so as not to delay the treatment.
