While the state Health Department reported that is doubling the number of respiratory patients, the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) has announced that this city has handled more than 2,500 cases of bronchiolitis, an infection that is feature of the winter season.
Both health authorities have warned that children aged one to 4 years of age are most affected and urged parents to exercise extreme care with their children, especially children.
The Sanitary District II of the state Health Department reported that the incidence of respiratory diseases has doubled the week before due to low temperatures.
The agency reported that the normal incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) at this boundary was only about two months of 1.200 new cases per week. But in the second week of this month were treated 2,200 people affected by such conditions, which implies an increase of 83 percent.And the largest increase occurred the following week, when doctors attended 2,400 people sick, that is, there was double the number of patients who are commonly recorded.
This latest increase has been maintained to date, so that the incidence of respiratory diseases remains for half a month duplicated and therefore must exercise extreme care, he said.
The state Public Health Coordination of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) reported that up to last November attended 5,552 cases in the state.
Half of them occurred in Ciudad Ju?rez, a predominance of infections in children aged one to 4 years with 2,469 cases, he urged mothers to exercise extreme care with their children.
Reported that bronchiolitis is a disease of the respiratory tract that is caused by an infection that affects the tiny airways called bronchioles, which lead them to the lungs.
As these airways become inflamed, fill with mucus and difficult breathing, he said.
"The main effect occurs in infants and young children because their small airways become blocked more easily than those of older children or adults," he said.
Only attended IMSS 5,521 new cases from January to November, of which 6,089 cases were in children under one year, 2,469 infants from one to four, 914 small 5-9, and 449 10 to 14 years.
