November 4, 2009 morning, the Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Respiratory medicine physician, director of Professor Li Youlin guest Xinhua, in order to interpret the distinction between User Influenza H1N1 influenza and the common cold, and how symptomatic treatment related issues.
[Moderator] netizens Hello everyone, welcome to visit China Xinhua attention. After entering in November, with the cooler weather conditions, day and night temperature changes in large, people suffering from common cold gradually increased, and now is also the period of influenza A H1N1 influenza pandemic. So Influenza A H1N1 influenza and influenza-like symptoms similar to normal, but there are a lot of difference, then how should we distinguish between in order to choose the correct response to the options? Today we have invited guest is a Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Chinese medicine physician, director of Respiratory Diseases, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Professor of doctoral tutor, the State Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, director of Mr Lee Lin, on the theme for the User to make interpretations. Welcome to Dr. Li.
[Moderator] Would you please give us talk about the Influenza A H1N1 influenza and common flu, seasonal influenza and what similarities and differences?
[You-Lin] netizens good, Influenza H1N1 influenza and seasonal influenza, first and foremost they are a prerequisite for influenza, the flu awareness from the past to the present day has gone through a very long period of time, whether it is influenza or the H1N1 flu or ordinary seasonal flu influenza, they are common features in terms of Chinese medicine is a part of exogenous disease, the clinical performance of speaking there are many similar characteristics. From its mode of transmission to the symptoms, including some pathogens there are differences in the situation, which resulted in clinically we need to distinguish between these similarities and differences between them, on this basis for effective prevention and control.
Now the entire community, from government to the concerns of ordinary people are very Influenza H1N1 influenza, Influenza H1N1 influenza epidemic and the spread of the trend is also very serious, and now belongs to Qiumodongchu period, in the past at this time there will be some symptoms of a cold occurred associated with influenza and seasonal time we would often hear complaints about the seasonal occurrence of influenza, how to be different? In clinical terms we will see a distinction between Internet users and the general, if relying solely on the people to rely on a simple distinction between the symptoms there are still some difficulties, but not totally unable to distinguish.
First, the influenza A H1N1 flu transmission from the ability to run, Influenza A H1N1 influenza and seasonal influenza both similar and diverse, are generally in the formation of the spread among the crowd is still susceptible to have some common features. Influenza A H1N1 influenza among young people might get the disease, seasonal influenza is also a relatively strong ability to communicate, but this feature is that the majority of population groups are susceptible, but it is often the number of infected people with a chronic illness or a young person susceptible to seasonal influenza, which is, and Influenza A H1N1 influenza are different. Influenza A H1N1 influenza infection in the population is mainly young people are more characteristic.
From the mode of transmission for Influenza A H1N1 influenza and seasonal influenza transmission levels are active, different is the Influenza A H1N1 influenza in the former period of time called the swine flu, because we have seen a spread of the phenomenon is the biological process of , man can be transmitted to animals, such as pigs, pigs can also spread to people, and seasonal influenza is different. Mode of transmission of seasonal influenza is currently spread among the crowd.
Influenza A H1N1 in the middle of flu and seasonal influenza, but also tucked a common flu. Seasonal influenza is a particular season of occurrence are basically the fall and winter season, so it is called seasonal influenza. On its clinical features and performance place it is very similar to ordinary flu, which resulted in ordinary flu, seasonal influenza, Influenza H1N1 influenza since the beginning of the symptoms are similar and causing distinction more difficult. Since they are all flu, influenza is characterized by transmissible, infectious, susceptibility is not similar to the occurrence of symptoms is also very similar, and some will be over a period of latency after a sudden high fever, including headache, sore throat, diarrhea, , vomiting and other symptoms, which is very similar to the performance of the three, there will be difficult to distinguish.
Distribution from the crowd, including the relationship between humans and animals characterized by what we can do a preliminary distinction. Seasonal influenza and Influenza H1N1 influenza is still speaking from the etiology of some distinction, influenza H1N1 flu is the H1N1 strain of the virus infection form of influenza. The characteristics of both seasonal influenza season, from the etiology also has its own characteristics, influenza virus and hepatitis B virus, a common form of seasonal influenza virus strain.
From the incubation period is concerned, the harm caused by influenza A H1N1 influenza extent of disease characteristics from its incubation period may be longer, relatively speaking, the general’s case to go through the incubation period of about one week. So this seasonal influenza is often very short incubation period, from infection to disease may be two or three days. You may have some common sense, after a considerable number of patients infected with the human immune system will form the mediation of self-healing, seasonal influenza is often recovered from the onset of illness to go through about 7 to 10 days time. Influenza A H1N1 influenza because of its dangers and its effect on organ function of the relative seriousness of some of the damage, its repair and recovery time is relatively longer, but in general are 10 days or so, there are some children, duration longer , may reach more than two weeks.
The damage caused by the human body from a clinical point of view, we are concerned about the Influenza A H1N1 influenza The reason is because it caused damage to the human body is relatively more serious cases, symptoms come on more fierce, there are some diseases there are a number of weaker constitution of patients will result in the rapid organ damage, and even the formation of multiple organ dysfunction and even failure, influenza A H1N1 influenza than seasonal influenza extent of damage. As part of seasonal influenza may also occur in patients with pneumonia, but the relative degree of Influenza A H1N1 influenza is much lighter.
From now on the incidence of clinical observation in terms of deaths, the number of influenza A H1N1 influenza should be a little more, preliminary statistics about mortality rates are now 6.67%. A relatively small number of seasonal influenza.
