Hundreds of people queued in the cold wind

At 10:00 on November 24, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University fever clinics had been waiting in a long queue, only 20 seats in a small corridor, van crammed with nearly 80 people. Is waiting Aunt Zhang told reporters that she started a fever last night, and the highest burn 38 ℃, “less than 8:00 on the morning arrived at the hospital, and had wanted to be able to quickly spotted as early as possible, did not expect front row of the more than 30 people, and so on and so on will continue for two hours. “Zhang mother said she had just measured the body temperature is 37.8 ℃, had been burned night, the morning has not eaten anything, and now find it very hard for me to stand up on a top-heavy .

1 Tingzhao bellied pregnant women is particularly prominent in the crowd. The fever, named Yang’s mother has been two days and nights, she went out early in the morning floor, four-layer obstetrical consultation, but was informed the triage nurse station: “This does not accept the heat Chaoguo 37.5 ℃ of pregnant women, you have to fever clinics to see. “In the fever clinic, more than five months pregnant, and did not let Ms. Yang received special care, she sat in a chair near the door, have to wait three hours, opened the door when you come in the cool breeze filling her sneeze constantly, anxious to accompany her to doctor’s mother kept complaining. “We have drawn a doctor came from somewhere else, but still busy, but come!” One doctor explained to reporters.

The same situation also appears in the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital, faced with anxious patients and their families, fever, clinic director Liu took loudspeakers burst into the crowd, to patients with a 45-minute “flu treatment knowledge” popular science lectures. After his speech, the patient followed by a single laboratory carrying forward, listen to a brief doctor’s advice Liu This line from the pain.

In the northeast, Shanghai, Guangdong, Northwest and many other areas, heat surge outpatients were to allow hospitals overwhelmed. First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, November 21 to 1160 outpatients a single day, many patients have to wait six hours in order to get the results. “Peak, hundreds of patients queued in the cold wind, not loudspeakers, also hear themselves hoarse.” Zhejiang Chinese medicine hospital president Wang Xiaoming, said the hospital to seek treatment for patients with fever every day from early November to 100 times The current more than 800 times, for which the intestines had to be close to outpatient pediatric surgeries are also extended to fever clinics, but also from the Provincial Hospital of Chinese Part of emergency medical personnel deployed to more than 10, while mobilizing the hospital more than 30 volunteers to help blood’s temperature. Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai, due to the manpower shortage in the hospital, has launched an emergency plan for the mechanism, you can always increase the medical staff posts, but also including doctors, nurses, logistics, radiology, pharmacy, etc. 15 alternates.

A stream of people are too panicked

Fever outpatient explosion, in the end why not? People’s Liberation Army General Hospital, director of fever clinics Liu told reporters pointed out: First, in November, our country most of the region into the flu season, flu-like fever in patients with this time of year will be increased. “This year because of strong cold air invasion of North-South general slowdown, the sudden arrival of cold resistance people down, more susceptible to flu or common cold, a fever.” Liu said that from this perspective, fever clinics Patients with an increase is inevitable.

Second, the influenza H1NI recent influenza spread in the population, over the number of patients are increasing. Although the vast majority of patients were mild, but can also cause fever, headache and other discomfort. These patients have come to the hospital, want to fever outpatient screening diagnosis and treatment, a significant increase in the workload of fever clinics.

Third, due to people’s fear of influenza H1NI flu, so it becomes very sensitive to fever. “In the past people are not serious fever will not go to the hospital, but because a stream of popular, now we only have a little fever, they will go to the hospital.” Capital Medical University Beijing Chaoyang Hospital infection and the clinical microbiology section (responsible for fever clinics) Director Bin Cao said that many patients do not need hospital treatment, but they still came to queue up. “This is mainly due to lack of knowledge of a stream of cold symptoms and concerns.” Liu said.

To enable patients to wait too long, many hospitals, said they also bear some responsibility. “Fever clinics are located in relatively poor areas, can accommodate very few, the hospital has not addressed the status quo to be adjusted, so that the waiting problem is getting worse.” Tongren Hospital, said a nurse for many years, every time patients in the cold waiting in line, she felt very distressed. “However, to solve the problem, certainly not enough major hospitals alone.” Liu pointed out that the community health service centers need to become the first consultation on more obligations. The health sector and the media should also be related to a flow of people promote knowledge and dispel unnecessary panic.

A high fever three days and then see the fever clinic

In fact, fever is not necessary to fever clinics are run. Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Respiratory Professor Wang Jing-lan told reporters, because most of the A stream is mild, and now the hospital outpatient fever is no longer a stream of patients screened. November 25, Ministry of Health November 16 to 22 outbreaks also pointed out that a stream has been accounted for 89.8% of the total number of influenza cases. Chinese Center for Disease Control Disease Control and Emergency Office director FENG Zi-jian that “All screening is not necessary first and second, we do not have such a large detection capabilities.” Once the fever, experts suggest, should learn to self-judgment and self-healing.

A stream of experts on preventing diet program

First of all, for the people, the identification of the flu, common cold, seasonal influenza and Influenza H1N1 influenza, to ascertain whether any contact with a flow of patients and related items or whether they are in a current epidemic.

Secondly, according to the preliminary judge the symptoms.

Symptoms of the common cold is often partial weight, systemic symptoms of light, that is nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing situation, but is a headache, fever, aching muscles, and so less.

The symptoms of a stream, in contrast, nasal congestion, runny nose, very light or not, fever, headache, sore throat, aching muscles, very prominent. In addition, since a flow can easily lead to pneumonia, cough it depends on whether there is any breathing movements, but also by inflammation of the throat is stimulated, leading to cough.

Thirdly, since the fever is the most important performance of a stream, so long as a fever, it is recommended out-patient treatment in time to the hospital for fever.

If necessary, through the sampling test, generally within 6 hours should be informed of test results.

Fourth, the current flow of the majority of patients with a mild, and some are not even a fever, so even if only from the symptoms the doctor can not identify whether the risk of a stream. Therefore, the active prevention, such as wearing masks, environmental ventilation, to ensure sleep, to avoid fatigue, a reduction in crowded public places of opportunities are very good approach. If there is family members suspected symptoms, the need for the separation of families, reduction of exposure.

A stream is not a contact with patients or items will definitely incidence, which is an individual resistance to contact with the virus load and virus disease related to the intensity, in general, the virus is not within 7 days of incubation onset, it was temporarily safe.

Since a stream belongs to a kind of influenza, many patients produce a flow of paralysis, mental relaxation. Recently, the province appears first cases of severe A stream deaths. Doctors warned A stream of severe high-risk groups, can easily lead to complications.

A stream fiercer than a tiger, meals need to be cautious

This year’s Influenza A H1N1 influenza can be seen as two kinds of diseases: one, such as the common flu; the other is occurring rapidly in some people who died from lung disease. Part A flow of serious cases have occurred in infants and 20-50 year-olds.

Experts point out that seasonal influenza every year, so people generally have immunity; A stream is a previously did not pop a new virus, the human body without the antibodies, some patients after infection, the condition will rapidly increase, therefore, it hazards can not be ignored.

Misunderstanding number two: A stream does not become more lethal virus

So far, no one can determine the specific direction this year, a stream. Whether the virus genetic changes related to changes in the weather, not yet known.

At the same time, many bacteria will become resistant to antibiotics. These uncertainties have led the spread of influenza virus A flow direction and the condition becomes more complicated and confusing.

Some experts have analyzed the epidemic cycle will continue until March next year. But for now, China’s A flow of the virus have been found significant variation.

Misunderstanding number three: young and healthy does not have a flow

Although the patients with asthma, smokers, pregnant women, obese, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc. A flow more easily infected, but in fact the majority of deaths in a lifetime is very healthy stream.

A stream in the critically ill patients, the elderly with basic diseases, prone to a stream. But there 1/3-2/3 of adults and 80% of children infected before they have no potential risk. So, not young and healthy will not be infected with a stream.

Misunderstanding number four: wearing a mask, wash their hands would not get a flow of

No smoking, no alcohol, avoid obesity and maintain a healthy lifestyle, can help to reduce the risk of common flu infection. However, “These practices can put an end to a stream” was no scientific basis. So far, only a flow of vaccination vaccine to protect themselves and their families is the most effective measures.

“But this does not mean that you usually do not completely take preventive measures.” City of CDC experts said that a flow of virus droplets, a sneeze droplets can be sprayed four meters away, a cough affected the range of 2 meters, so , anti-A or a first block flow of droplets. Multi-window ventilation, drink plenty of water, or be able to play a preventive role.

Misunderstanding 5: With the vaccine, we can rest assured that the

Wuhan City is giving part of the population vaccinated A stream vaccine. A stream in the prevalence, the vaccination can play a certain amount of protection. But it is not playing a vaccine, we can sit back and relax.

After vaccination, the vaccine virus in the body develop, produce antibodies, all take time. Based on the current situation of China’s A flow monitoring, a significant variation of flow of the virus has not yet occurred, the vaccine still be able to play an effective protection.

Misunderstanding number six: A flow of vaccine safe

A current vaccine is not suitable for all populations, also have adverse reactions occur. Many people have had their doubts, a flow of vaccine research and development have been so rapid, vaccination is not easy to go wrong? There is no guarantee security?

Wuhan CDC experts to explain all of the A current vaccines are tested for safety, in which the vast majority of the production process and used for many years fully consistent with the seasonal influenza vaccine. From clinical trial point of view, a flow of more than 85% of the vaccine can be vaccinated population has protective effects. Any vaccine would appear a small number of adverse reactions, which is normal, not a problem.

If the woman in the middle of the first three months of pregnancy to the second three months of the middle period of influenza, then their children the probability of suffering from schizophrenia, an increase of 3 times. If you suffer from flu in the advanced stage of pregnancy, then the risk of children suffering from mental illness did not increase in comparison with other children. This research paper first author, New York State Psychiatric Institute izra Suse, said: “These findings provide the most conclusive evidence of schizophrenia, the pregnant woman during early pregnancy, adults and children suffering from influenza troubles do have a link between schizophrenia. ”

Previous studies have shown that influenza in pregnant women and children suffering from schizophrenia, there is a certain relationship between the past but the major studies in which the first four months of pregnancy, influenza in pregnant women troubles, this time, is targeted at the first three months of pregnancy risk Influenza of pregnant women. Moreover, and previous studies is different is that the previous study used the records of the influenza season and women have their own memories and other data, this time it is through between 1959 to 1966 to study the preservation of blood samples drawn conclusions.

This study is only by studying the fetal infection, nutritional status, exposure to chemical substances in such conditions, my father age and other factors, to study schizophrenia, which is part of a major project. Through the study of people suffering from schizophrenia found suffering from influenza during early pregnancy, the number of their mothers accounted for one quarter.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder, the patient will have hallucinations, or illogical thinking. The initial symptoms of this disease is generally more than 10 years of age or 20 years of age.

In fact, during pregnancy, in addition to maintaining a good mood, but also pay close attention to individual’s physical condition, less than a last resort should not take medicine. In addition, during pregnancy, should not be too nervous, some people smarter in order to give birth to a baby, not hesitate to add money to buy the so-called fetal nutrition, health care products, it is no need to do, because those health care products have a certain element of hormones , might give you a healthy baby to fill out the big problems. Pure, natural food is always the natural choice for pregnant women.

Secondly, according to the preliminary judge the symptoms.

Large collection of western medicine treatment of hepatitis B

Symptoms of the common cold is often partial weight, systemic symptoms of light, that is nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing situation, but is a headache, fever, aching muscles, and so less.

The symptoms of a stream, in contrast, nasal congestion, runny nose, very light or not, fever, headache, sore throat, aching muscles, very prominent. In addition, since a flow can easily lead to pneumonia, cough it depends on whether there is any breathing movements, but also by inflammation of the throat is stimulated, leading to cough.

Thirdly, since the fever is the most important performance of a stream, so long as a fever, it is recommended out-patient treatment in time to the hospital for fever.

If necessary, through the sampling test, generally within 6 hours should be informed of test results.

Fourth, the current flow of the majority of patients with a mild, and some are not even a fever, so even if only from the symptoms the doctor can not identify whether the risk of a stream.

Therefore, the active prevention, such as wearing masks, environmental ventilation, to ensure sleep, to avoid fatigue, a reduction in crowded public places of opportunities are very good approach. If there is family members suspected symptoms, the need for the separation of families, reduction of exposure.

A stream is not a contact with patients or items will definitely incidence, which is an individual resistance to contact with the virus load and virus disease related to the intensity, in general, the virus is not within 7 days of incubation onset, it was temporarily safe.

Jiucheng influenza cases as a stream

According to Professor Wang Youpeng introduction, the Ministry of Health briefing last week, when the epidemic that, according to influenza sentinel surveillance showed that influenza A H1N1 influenza cases flu cases accounted for 89.8% ratio, with 89.4% the previous week compared to the rise. In other words, the current flu-like patients, patient A Jiucheng flow. At the same time, also showing a gradual increase in patients with severe, the epidemic worsening trend.

In response to this trend, Professor Wang Youpeng analysis, Heilongjiang Province in the north frigid zone, a stream epidemic period was significantly higher than the southern region, from now until December, are in the second period of high, severe cases will gradually increase, aggregation of the epidemic is inevitable. To this end, Heilongjiang Province, has made it clear the health sector should be made to reduce the severe cases, give full play to control a flow of Chinese medicine effect on mild positive application of Chinese medicine for patients to treatment programs; in the treatment of severe cases when Chinese and Western medicine and try to reduce the severe place to improve the cure rate. Chinese herb may be effective in preventing the appropriate

Now the general public around there a concern that if the flow of patients themselves how to prevent it? Professor Wang Youpeng suggested that a flow of vaccine through immunization or appropriate to take medicine to carry out effective prevention. The Ministry of Health published “Influenza A H1N1 Influenza Clinic Program (2009 third edition)”, the Shufeng detoxification capsules, Lotus Qingwen capsules, oral liquid Qingkailing verified by relevant departments and other proprietary Chinese medicine products, is listed as recommended drugs, including detoxification capsules Shufeng mild cases are mainly used in the prevention and treatment.

In addition, the public should pay attention to in their daily lives to prevent, avoid contact with influenza-like symptoms (fever, cough, runny nose, etc.) or pneumonia and other respiratory patients; room and the working environment to maintain ventilation; a long time to wash their hands regularly and, in particular, After coughing or sneezing; reduce or avoid the staff gathering places; while also try to avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth, because germs can be spread through these channels.

Two typical symptoms of severe Recognition

Professor Wang Youpeng suggested that this period is necessary to correctly identify a flow and the common flu, especially in severe cases to identify a stream. A stream has seven severe major symptoms: namely, a temperature over 39 ℃, and continuous for more than 3 days; severe cough, cough Nong Tan, blood sputum, or chest pain; per minute, respiratory rate increased, difficulty breathing, bluish lips; consciousness abnormalities, such as the unresponsive, drowsiness, restlessness, easy to convulsions, etc.; severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration performance; imaging studies with pneumonia symptoms; the basis of the original disease condition significantly worse. Among them, the most obvious difference between ordinary flu is the blood sputum and vomiting. So that, if the above symptoms should immediately seek medical treatment without delay.

Professor Wang Youpeng specifically asked the Ministry of Health to formulate and release of a flow of treatment programs, there are five categories of people are classified as A stream of severe cases of high-risk groups, namely pregnant women, obese persons, children under age 5 and 65 years of age or older , accompanied by chronic disease populations and people with poor immune function. Faced with a flow of fashion trends, which five people should be extra attention.

Experts suggest that sustained high fever three days must be on the hospital for treatment

Shaoxing, a 6-year-old boy died due to a stream, many parents of infants and young children as well as some expectant mothers to the Morning Post called to inquire about the vaccine can not be beat groups of infants and young children and pregnant women, how to prevent a stream.

Provincial child protection fever outpatients doubled

Yesterday morning, the provincial child protection within the fever clinic, sat rows of holding a child’s parent, these children because of colds and fever them there.

“Too busy, most recently staff is very nervous, but we still do its utmost to ensure the patient treatment.” Yesterday, the provincial president of Du, said protecting children from the November 20 start for the hospital to see a rapid increase in patients with fever clinic , from the daily average 900 times the patient load increased from a few days ago to nearly 1,800 passengers, doubled.

“Our hospital is the only night fever, Hangzhou pediatrician outpatient clinics, taking into account the current exceptional circumstances, we think of ways to continue to increase with out-patient physician, additional night out-patient clinics and holidays.” Du said.

In addition to provincial child protection, the Hangzhou fever clinics in major hospitals the patient load, there are different levels to rise.

“As the focus of hospital for influenza, we have to send three times a week a high degree of suspected influenza-like cases to the provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention specimens.” Provincial deputy director of child protection, said Fang-Qi Gong.

Fever should be quickly taken to the hospital

According to the province of influenza sentinel surveillance results show that influenza-like illness in our province last week, the total number of outpatients accounted for 11.21%, rising 7.78 percent last week. Influenza cases flu-like illness accounted for the proportion of 69.61 percent, 50.51 percent last week has increased. Influenza A H1N1 influenza virus nucleic acid of influenza-positive specimens accounted for the proportion of specimens testing positive for 99.60 percent, up slightly from 96.39 percent last week.

“Own mishandled, in the end is not a stream, so take a look at the hospital, but the hospital to see so many people are worried that she would not be infected.” Cycle members of the public are accompanied his pregnant wife to the provincial hospital of Chinese medicine to see a cold His was a universal concern.

“To the hospital, worried about cross-infection, this concern is understandable, if not sustained high fever, then I suggest that pregnant women, or to recuperate at home as well.” Provincial Hospital of Chinese director Zhang Yi-Obstetrics and Gynecology, said not long ago, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration A stream of pregnant women reported anti-Chinese medicinal prevention programs, drug consists of six grams Atractylodes, Huang Qin 6 grams, 3 grams Su Ye, Yin-hua 6 grams. 1 day, simmered them in water 2 times, clothes, and even clothes for 5 days.

“These can only play him for the medical role in prevention, such as Banlangen granules and other proprietary Chinese medicines are also can be prevented, but only to prevent, and not a substitute for treatment.” Zhang Yi said that, if only slightly cold, you can take a small amount of medicine to improve the immune system. However, if there is high fever, and continued three days, we will definitely go to hospital for regular treatment, because of high fever in addition may be a symptom of the performance of a flow, the common cold of the high fever can also affect the fetal nervous system development.

“At present, children can not vaccinated A flow of vaccine, while the 5 years of age, especially children under the age of two is a stream of high-risk groups, parents should do preventive work in peacetime.” Fang-Qi Gong suggested that the parents must try to avoid kids go to crowded places, do not, and those suspected of cold exposure; wash their hands more ventilation, proper diet, pay attention to rest; if the child had a fever to subside and the spirit of good, we should promptly on the hospital.

As the lungs of influenza victims of coke?

Notice that the variation of the first case was discovered in April of this year, as of now, there a flow of virus mutation countries, including Norway, Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine and United States.

On the same day, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health reported on three cases of influenza A virus mutation cases, including two deaths and one severe case. But have not found this virus on a flow of a vaccine or antiviral drug-resistant.

In addition, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 20, said that the North Carolina at Duke University Hospital, four patients a few days ago in the “Tamiflu” Tolerance Type A flow tested positive for the virus, of which three have already died and another one is being recovering.

United Kingdom Health Protection Agency has also issued the same day, the communique said that in Wales, a hospital ward where there is a nine people were confirmed infected with a stream, of which 5 were major components of the body the virus on Tamiflu, oseltamivir resistance.

Developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche’s “Tamiflu” and the British GlaxoSmithKline – GSK company’s “Relenza” is the two main drug prevention and treatment of influenza. According to reports, the World Health Organization has reported the world’s more than 50 cases of Tamiflu resistance Type A stream of these cases are mostly in isolation. WHO says there is no sufficient evidence to show that this drug-resistant virus, human-human transmission. This variation is not the virus lethal virus, more than any other. The study also shows that another antiviral drug Relenza is still such a variation to be effective.

As of November 15, globally at least 206 countries and regions have reported a flow of WHO confirmed cases, including at least 6770 cases of deaths.

Songzhu Ren said, “New Scientist” magazine mentioned that patients diagnosed in the A stream statistics, nearly half of the diagnosed patients had no fever. Prior to the provincial capital because of the major hospitals to confirm suspected cases of the A stream is an important criterion for whether patients with fever, so if proved, no fever symptoms may also be a flow of patients, a stream of future work confirmed the difficulty will increase. The various units so far to employees and access persons temperature measurement means of prevention is no longer a foolproof.

For some patients with a flow of only nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea and other symptoms, Songzhu Ren said, “New Scientist” magazine mentioned in a flow of other symptoms as in the future to prevent a flow of suspected cases identified in an important reference. Song Zhuren hope that the general public will pay more attention to the physical condition of themselves and their families, if we find a stream of suspected symptoms should be promptly made the right choice.

Many people also hope to re-regulate the medical sector can be more comprehensive and scientific A stream finds that the public feel at ease.

According to the British “Daily Post” recently reported that there is speculation that there may be a flow of virus mutation, or a combination of multiple variants of influenza “super-flu.”

World Health Organization has aroused concern about the epidemic. 17, according to the Associated Press reported, WHO said that after testing, no censorship of the virus found in Ukraine, a major mutation.

“Lungs burning like a different”

In Ukraine late last month, the first wave of influenza in the western city of outbreak. Number of deaths from the beginning of the rapid increase of 71 to 315.

According to Russian news agency and Ukraine, media reports, the current number of infections more than 1.4 million, 7.8 million people hospitalized, 317 were in intensive care unit, 40 people need respirator treatment.

Doctors in western Ukraine, two deaths in laboratory tests and found that their lungs, “the same as burning,” “look terrible.” In their view, the current flu-like symptoms, and the 1918 Spanish flu are very similar. Influenza virus was spread around the world, causing millions of deaths.

Legend of a very frightening

Let the leaders of the state forensic department Qieernifu Bachinski that may be of unknown influenza A flow with a mixture of other influenza viruses. He said that the virus is aggressive and is very high, can directly invade the lungs, causing lung swelling and internal bleeding, destruction of the lungs, can cause problems with heart and lung function, and even fatal cardiac shock.

He also said that the virus may be through the eye infection, so most people should wear masks and goggles to prevent. Patients should promptly seek medical treatment, rather than the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.

Combination of three kinds of influenza variant?

Lviv in Ukraine, has four men and one woman died of the flu. In which two persons aged 22 to 35 years old, the other two people 60 years of age.

Local emergency medical Mailun Bo-ri Ivanisevic do not think this virus is a flow of viruses, “may be the formation of three kinds of variants of influenza A viral pneumonia, but can not determine the species.” At present the initial test results have been sent to the Kiev research center.

Ukraine’s President Viktor Yushchenko during a television interview a few days ago, said: “Many of them were in danger, the epidemic has killed a lot of doctors. This is really hard to imagine in this day and age.”

“And other outbreaks of influenza in different countries, Ukraine is facing three kinds of deadly flu epidemic at the same time.” Virologists quoted Yushchenko as saying that, if the combination is really three kinds of flu mutates, which may produce a more powerful variant of the virus.

He has informed the WHO epidemic. WHO experts access to Kiev and Lvov 2, the investigation of the unusual influenza outbreak, the virus samples sent over for testing.

Ukraine’s parliament has passed a 125 million U.S. dollars in funds to cope with a flow and seasonal influenza.

A stream not found significant variation

The United States and the United Kingdom laboratory analysis from the Ukrainian part of the influenza virus samples sent. Scientists concerned that the current Ukrainian super flu, really a variation of a stream?

17 Associated Press report, the WHO said that, after detection of the virus in Ukraine and found no significant variation of the virus. Ukraine the vast majority of influenza cases may be a flow rate of transmission with its neighboring countries, Russia, Poland, almost unanimously.

WHO said that Ukraine sent to the United Kingdom and the United States laboratory samples of the virus, after a preliminary test and found that it now used to produce a virus similar to influenza vaccine, which once again proved the effectiveness of the vaccine in the present.
