Approximately 20 influenza patients are currently in the Schwarzwald-Baar Clinic, they must be isolated in single rooms, because of the risk of infection. During the carnival experienced the flu its climax. Well, is so Burghardt Ehler, Director of Public Health Department of the circle, "cautious optimism" attached: "Perhaps the wave washed ashore." 93 influenza cases registered this year, the health department, in the same week seven. 28 people became ill between 18 and 24 February to flu. Clarity, if someone is ill with influenza or a common cold, a test does the doctor. Whose duty is to report to the flu to the health department if the suspicion is confirmed. Many people were looking at the same hospital: Martin Staritz reports of 40 people in the emergency room, where an influenza sufferers were sitting with people who had a leg or an arm broken. "You should consider whether you need to go to the hospital, advises Staritz. First, it might find the doctor to ensure that the patient had a seasonal cold or flu. For the elderly and those with a weaker constitution of hospitalization for influenza is already correct, they are often dehydrated or had problems with breathing, heart and blood circulation.
A death as a result of flu have notified the hospital, said Staritz. It was a 90-year-old who was very exhausted. Critical is the condition of another patient: The 30-year-old was transferred to a special unit of the University Hospital and is struggling with pneumonia.
Necessarily recommend Ehler, Staritz and Beatrix M?ller, occupational medicine at the hospital, a flu shot in October or November. For the season, the active viruses were detected. Such as swine flu since 2010/2011. However, viruses can mutate and ill people who are actually vaccinated against flu, anyway. 26 people in the district were vaccinated and still got the flu.
Influenza drug Tamiflu, of which the hospital bought quantities larger than a bird flu epidemic was feared, is no longer used. Volunteering is a flu vaccination for employees of the hospital. Give 300 to 400 vaccinations per year there, says Beatrix M?ller. Relatively many young people put on hand sanitizer. "I always have the disinfectant there," she says. "Me too," adds Ehler.
