"Origin" enterovirus

Enterovirus identified in Alakol district of Almaty province, has nothing to do with the Chinese infection that took the lives of dozens of children. Yesterday, this Republican said epidemiologists sanepidemstantsii.

Recall, in late May in an area Alakolskom 16 children under six years became infected enterovirusnoy infection. Almost immediately a suspicion that she - "guest" of China. After all affected rest first with their parents at the Dostyk station, located near the border with Celestial. Then these children returned home in the village Zhaypak and began to communicate with peers. The infection spread slowly.

-- Rebyatishki moved to an area - says the head of department of epidemiology of infectious diseases Republican sanepidemstantsii Aynagul Kuatbaeva. -- Someone went to neighbouring villages in guests, someone - in cases. As a result of infection struck 16 children in four locations: Zhaypak, Kaynar, Beskol and Uch-Aral. The most serious was the first diseased: temperature under 40, stomatitis, ulcers on the body. Helped that we almost immediately revealed hotbed of diseases and localize it, so other children moved enterovirus not so hard.

Epidemiology, it appears that "our" enterovirus, Done so much noise in Kazakhstan, is not so dangerous as his fellow Chinese, and described it as "koksaki A16." It spreads through contact family and may settle in the body after eating dirty vegetables or fruits.

Children under the Zabaikalye threatened by deadly disease

June 22, 12:37 | Maya GLUMOVA
In Siberia again spoken about the threat of epidemic enterovirusnoy infection. Doctors do not exclude that it is precisely this dangerous disease became infected children from summer camp "Seagull" in Zabaykalskom province.

As told journalists in Rospotrebnadzore, 20 and 21 June in a summer health institution were registered 73 cases of illness among children and staff. In the area of medical facilities Ingodinskogo hospitalized 29 children aged 8 to 14 years. The rest was taken away from the camp, parents: they will be placed under medical observation of the place of residence. In the hospital staff also hit seven camps.

Doctors can not say with certainty what exactly are sick, children and educators. Symptoms of all the same - lacunary quinsy and pharyngitis. Physicians do not exclude that we can talk about enterovirusnoy infection. Now the status of all patients seen as satisfactory.

Immediately after it became aware of the first patients in the camp left Brigade, composed of medical treatment and prevention services and specialists Cheats Rospotrebnadzora. A June 22 at Camp visited commission headed by Deputy Governor Konstantin Karasevym Zabaikalye.

Currently, specialists epidemiologists make the necessary analyses. There is an investigation, which resulted in administrative action would be taken. Apparently, the issue will be placed on the closure of the camp.

Recall, in early June reports on the epidemic erterovirusnoy infection came from Khakassia. In kindergarten "Tree", located in the capital of Abakan, two children died, another 26 kindergarten pupils were hospitalized with symptoms is extremely reminiscent enterovirusnuyu infection. (see here)

For inquiries in Abakan were caused by specialists from Moscow. A their investigation revealed that the cause of death was not detsadovtsev enterovirus, and moreover, both cases are not linked (see here).

Although the head of FSIS urged "not pedalirovat" theme proliferation enterovirusa and his arrival in Russia from China, domestic media are still making the assumption that the death of children in Abakan associated with this deadly infection.

Recall that in China it has been infected more than 27 thousand people, mainly children, and more than 30 of them died(Link). The devastating earthquake, which the Chinese are forced to live in tent camps and lack of clean water, exacerbated the situation and created the risk of getting the virus on Russian territory.

After the survey chitinskie doctors put patients diagnosed with "follicular quinsy." Now at hospitals in the city is located 29 children and one adult.

The cause mass illness of children could become a "low temperatures and high humidity in residential buildings camp due to rainy weather." By the way, heating system in sotsuchrezhdenii absent altogether.
