Chernivtsi: Memo for the prevention of influenza and ARVI
In connection with the beginning of the epidemic season of influenza and acute respiratory infections (Ari) 2016-2017 management, Demirtzoglou in the city drew attention to the implementation of measures for the prevention of these diseases. Among the infectious diseases, which are officially registered in Ukraine, of influenza and SARS in General population is more than 90%. Every year, almost every sixth inhabitant of Ukraine attracted to the epidemic process of influenza and SARS. Every year in the epidemic flu season lasts roughly from September-October to March-April. During this period the greatest risk from Contracting the disease. In the epidemic season 2015 - 2016 about the acute respiratory viral diseases including influenza for medical assistance 56062 persons or 21.7% of the population of Chernovtsy. The proportion of the child population up to 18 years of age was 64.1%. Flu sick – 88. Since the beginning of the season the city had recorded 9 deaths from complications of influenza (viral pneumonia) that were laboratory confirmed. The flu is a highly contagious viral disease with the possibility of severe complications and risk of death. The source of infection is a sick man. Especially infected person contagious with the flu in the midst of disease, in fever. Transmission occurs by airborne droplets. Annual vaccination is the most effective way to protect the body against flu viruses. The vaccine protects against all current strains of influenza is safe and effective. On the basis of the generalized results of the study of circulating strains of influenza viruses, the who recommended that for manufacturers of immunological products to include in the influenza vaccine with the following strains of viruses that will likely circulate in the Northern hemisphere in season 2016-2017, including on the territory of Ukraine: * A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) pdm 09-like virus * A/ Hong Kong/48012014 (H3N2) - like virus, * Virus B/Brisbane/60/2008. Given the high variability of influenza viruses based on the updated composition of the viruses that will likely circulate in the country, deteriorating socio-economic situation in the new season you can expect an increase in the number of cases in Ukraine to 8 million. Background: a Strain of influenza A (H1N1), also known as pandemic or swine flu have repeatedly caused considerable damage to mankind. Scientists say that he may have transferred to humans from pigs, and subsequently spread from an infected person to a healthy one. The vast majority of people worldwide the disease is a flu-like illness without complications, and ends in complete recovery after a week even without medical treatment. However, a severe form of the disease characterized by a rapidly progressive primary viral pneumonia, which, in contrast to bacterial pneumonia, are not sensitive to antibiotics and without proper treatment can lead to death within 24 hours after the first signs of complications. Prevention Whatever strain of the virus, is to remember and adhere to the simple rules. Because the flu, like other respiratory viruses is airborne and affects the respiratory system. Preventive measures are aimed primarily to improve the resistance of the organism to the action of pathogens of influenza. Also simple things that save lives: To avoid contact with patients. The source of the virus is a sick man. Ill – stay home. There is nothing heroic in attending work sick – and he should not work and colleagues in a hospital bed put. The doctors once again I repeat that there are no drugs with proven prophylactic efficacy against influenza virus does not exist. The less people, the less likely to get sick. Therefore, the restriction of visits to the crowds, including a visit to the children's groups sometimes justified measure. The decision on the temporary quarantine measures allow to dissolve children's groups and slow the spread of infections. However, this does not mean that the child needs to go to entertainment venues, to visit cinemas, gyms and the like. So as not to contact with patients in transport – do not be lazy to stop walking in the fresh air. Just not worth the extra time to go to supermarkets and shopping centers. Mask Mask usage is justified only when its sick man, if close to healthy. Of course, the virus will not delay, but will stop the droplets with the virus. The use of masks on the street – makes no sense at all. Viruses do not survive in cool, wet air to the outside, but feel good in warm, dry areas – so don't forget to ventilate. The rules of hygiene The infection enters the body through the mouth, nose and eyes, which You from time to time touch his hands. Those x hands You hold the money or hold on to the handrails, where several hours are saved in the active as viruses and bacteria, left from the touching hands of other people. Therefore, don't unnecessarily touch your face. Wash your hands often, during the threat of virus infection frequently wash hands with soap and water, apply a disinfectant containing alcohol (disinfectant sprays, gels, and wipes). Wipe the nose with a cold, you need disposable wipes that you just throw in the trash. If there is no handkerchief, coughing or sneezing don't need a palm, and elbow. Reusable napkins and towels, especially in public places, significantly increase the risk of infection and the spread of infection. Remember these simple rules yourself and teach your children! Regularly ventilate the room and do wet cleaning – both indoors and in workplaces, not to leave itself around live viruses and bacteria that can remain active for several hours after being in the room of the sick person. Stick to a healthy lifestyle that involves getting enough sleep (at least 7-8 hours a day). In the season of colds should limit heavy weight training, because they reduce the immune system; recommended charge with the mandatory elements of respiratory gymnastics. The diet should include not less than 50% plant foods raw (cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, beets, garlic, onions, spinach, radish, tomatoes, apples, squash, currants). You must minimize the intake of refined and thermally processed products. The diet should be legumes, nuts, which act as natural immunomodulators. Specific prevention Meeting with the virus without protective antibodies leads to disease. Antibodies will appear if you previously have been ill or after a vaccination. We have repeatedly advised to do it in advance, but not too late to get vaccinated for the entire period of the season. Especially important is vaccination for high risk groups, as it greatly increases the chances of these people to distract the deadly disease outcomes. Background: a small number of vaccination provides individual protection of the graft, however, does not create a General immune layer among the population. Persons with the ailment should immediately seek medical help. Treatment The body's fight against flu and SARS does not require pills. Must not interfere with the body with the virus to cope with. Remember that the flu and viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics increase rather than reduce the risk of complications. Following these basic rules significantly increases Your chance to avoid dangerous disease and is able to save the lives of You and people that are close to You.
