[sharon sanders]

Large outbreak of pneumonia in children for the past five years, the number of patients up to

These two days, nine-year-old Taotao coughing and fever, Children's Hospital in the city yesterday, making a chest X-ray confirmed pneumonia.

但由于儿童医院呼吸科病房实在住不下，涛涛只能每天到医院输液。​

However, Children's Hospital Respiratory ward is to live high, Taotao only to the hospital every day infusion.

儿童医院呼吸科主任谢娟娟说，今冬无锡地区肺炎患儿比往年明显增多，尤其是学龄期儿童，如果出现发烧咳嗽等症状3天不缓解的话，应立即去医院，以免贻误病情。​

Juan-Juan Xie, director of Children's Hospital, Respiratory, said this winter Wuxi area increased significantly in children with pneumonia than in previous years, especially school-age children, if there is fever, cough and other symptoms of three days without relief, they should immediately go to the hospital in order to avoid adversely affected by illness.

科病房爆满​

Wards full

?医生，能不能想想办法让我们孩子住院吧！?昨天，在儿童医院呼吸科病房，有不少患儿家长提出这样的要求。​

"Doctor, can find ways to let our children hospitalized bar!" Yesterday, at the Children's Hospital Respiratory wards, there are many parents of children made such a request.

但可惜的是，由于床位持续多日紧张，如果不是特别重的患儿，医院一般都不再收治。​

Unfortunately, due to intense bed lasted for many days, if not with special emphasis on the children, hospitals are generally not admitted.

值得一提的是，呼吸科病房内8成以上患儿全部为肺炎，而且以小学生居多。​

It is worth mentioning that the Respiratory ward eight children all of the above into pneumonia, but mostly for elementary school students.

谢娟娟说，今冬无锡地区儿童肺炎出现较大流行，是近5年来患儿人数最多的一年，每天都有不少患儿被确诊为肺炎。​

Juan-Juan Xie said that this winter of pneumonia in children in Wuxi area experienced substantial popularity in the last five years, the largest number of children a year, every day, many children have been diagnosed as pneumonia.

奇怪的是，往年肺炎患儿基本以学龄前儿童居多，但今年却是以学龄期孩子为主，小学生占了多数。​

Curiously, in previous years, mostly pre-school children, mostly in children with pneumonia, but this year is mainly school-age children, primary school pupils in the majority.

已出现重症患儿​

Have occurred in children with severe

昨天，记者在儿童医院重症监护室看到，有几个患儿都用上了呼吸机，其中两位是重症肺炎。​

Yesterday, reporters in the Children's Hospital intensive care unit to see, there are several children have to spend a breathing machine, two from severe pneumonia.

?前段时间，有好几个因肺炎导致呼吸衰竭的患儿，入院时情况相当危急，胸腔内还伴有大量积液。?一些家长发现孩子发烧咳嗽后以为只是普通的上呼吸道感染，在家服药后病情不好转，也不去医院，等孩子呼吸急促了才送医院，结果就导致了重症肺炎。​

"Heck, there are several of pneumonia and respiratory failure in children on admission was quite critical, accompanied by a large number of fluid inside the chest." Some parents found that kids thought it was only ordinary fever, cough after upper respiratory tract infection, after taking the drug at home condition does not improve, do not go to the hospital, such as shortness of breath and we have to the child to the hospital, the result of severe pneumonia.

谢娟娟表示，和普通发烧不同的是，肺炎患儿口服药物效果不好，应尽快输液控制病情。​

Juan-Juan Xie said that unlike ordinary fever, pneumonia in children with oral drugs to be ineffective, infusion control of the disease as soon as possible.

元凶为支原体微生物​

Culprit for the mycoplasma microorganisms

谢娟娟介绍，病毒感染、细菌感染及支原体感染都可引发肺炎，但今冬导致无锡地区儿童感染肺炎的主要是支原体感染。​

Juan-Juan Xie presentations, viral infections, bacterial infection and mycoplasma infections can cause pneumonia, but this winter led to Wuxi-acquired pneumonia in children in the region are mainly mycoplasma infection.

人群之间可以相互通过呼吸道传播。​

Each other among the crowd spread through the respiratory tract.

所以，如果家中出现肺炎儿童应尽早隔离。​

Therefore, if the home for children with pneumonia should be isolated as soon as possible.

而肺炎的普遍症状为持续发烧、咳嗽，需要提醒家长的是，发烧、咳嗽持续3天不见好转的话，应立即去医院。​

The common symptoms of pneumonia as a persistent fever, cough, need to remind parents that the fever, a cough lasting 3 days did not improve, they should immediately go to the hospital.

眼下在临床中还出现胸片正常却是肺炎的儿童，这样的疑似肺炎患儿应进行CT检查，如果是的话，应尽早治疗。​

Now in clinical and normal chest X-ray, also appear in children who had pneumonia, so that children with suspected pneumonia and CT examination should be carried out and, if so, should be treated as soon as possible.

此外，冬季由于温差较大，也是流感等疾病的高发期，先期患有流感或一般感冒的儿童处理不及时也会发展成为肺炎。​

In addition, the winter due to large temperature difference is also high incidence of diseases such as influenza period, the initial suffering from flu or common cold for children dealing with non-time will be developed into pneumonia.

针对家长较关心的甲型H1N1流感是否会发展为肺炎的问题，谢娟娟表示，严重的流感患者可能发展为重症肺炎，引起呼吸困难、缺氧导致各脏器多种并发症，因此家长要特别关注孩子的病情发展，确定病因后对症治疗。​

Targeted at parents more concerned about whether the influenza A H1N1 influenza will develop pneumonia problems, Juan-Juan Xie said that the severe influenza patients may develop severe pneumonia, causing difficulty in breathing, hypoxia led to a variety of complications of various organs, so, parents should pay special attention to the development of the child's condition to determine the cause of post-symptomatic treatment.
