  • Austria: Influenza wave stands before the door

    The Influenzanetzwerk active in Austria publishes an influenza warning when repeatedly influenza viruses in random checks are proved by authoritative practise in two successive weeks. Nowadays about 30 percent of these random checks are positive and above all the H1N1-viruses as well as B-viruses are rife.

    Also in the practise of the general doctors in Vorarlberg ? the first cases with the classical illness symptoms ? gather as Dr. G?nter Diem from Lustenau confirms. However, the most urgent question of most patients counts for that after the pork influenza. After now is clear that the H1N1-virus immediately behaves like seasonal Influenza-virus, there is no reason for the panic. Since also the therapy is the same one. And: ? If subsequent illnesses as for example a pneumonia appear, these must be treated already separately ?, according to Diem. Little sense also does the preventive taking of influenza drugs. Particularly as the proof of the effectiveness is absent.


    (VN) Zunahme. Die Grippeampeln stehen in ganz Europa auf Rot. Praktisch alle Länder melden einen deutlichen Anstieg von Erkrankungen mit zum Teil schweren Verläufen vor allem in der Altersgruppe der bis zu 64-Jährigen.
