This is the seasonal influenza AH3N2 that, although present in the country, was in the month of September, which began to see an increase in the number of cases. In November, the virus infected 565 people, generating an increase of 56.07% cases.

"The AH3N2 is a disease that represents danger, but is common. It is common not less virulent or less care. The infection can occur at any time, but there are periods where disease transmission is more efficient, for example, when it is raining or cold, "explains the doctor. The virus is transmitted respiratory and although anyone can get it, there is a population that is more exposed than others. The most susceptible are those who have never been vaccinated against influenza, adults over 65 years, under one year who suffer from chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and pregnant women. The coordinator of the Epidemiology Committee of Corporate Network Science indicates that among the signs to recognize to know if it was acquired influenza is fever and poor appetite. "There is no way to recognize a variant of influenza symptoms only. Clinically, it determines when a person develops a general malaise, high fever , eye and bone aches, chills and loss of appetite. If we add these symptoms runny nose, cough, sore throat, and persist for more than 48 hours, the person should avoid self-medication and need to go to a doctor, " Oletta advised. epidemiologic coordinator adds that if this flu is not treated in time can have serious consequences for the patient. "Complications that can occur are respiratory rate. The damage the lungs. It develops pneumonia, pneumonia, who happen to be viral or bacterial infections may be associated with other agents. People are complicated and have severe respiratory failure "he says. To prevent Oletta explains that there are "golden rules" when it comes to preventing this virus. notes that the first thing is to know the basic hygiene: wash hands, clean the surfaces properly protect your mouth when you cough, isolate people who are sick with this virus to prevent spread and use masks. Likewise, the doctor notes that systems must be strengthened diagnosis, providing hospitals with the necessary medicines and strengthen the area of fans. "In the case of influenza is a fundamental rule that, in turn, is the key to preventing and vaccination. This is the procedure more effective and safer to prevent influenza in people who are susceptible, both children and adults, "explains Oletta. notes that, in general, you can vaccinate everyone, but as there is no vaccine for everyone immunizations will be for the people who set health authority. Oletta Jose Felix explains that this method is very safe and that their only contraindication is for people who are allergic to eggs, because this vaccine is developed in chicken embryos. Nor is it advisable to vaccinate people who have had Guillian Barret syndrome.
