Three reasons for the surge in cases
Winter is the flu season, since October last year, found the first fall and winter since the avian flu in October and November only 6 cases of avian flu patients. However, in December, a month there were 54 cases, and 14 deaths. Prior to 2015, only 16 people infected, 11 people were killed. Jiangsu Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission analysis, since the winter, the province of human infection with H7N9 more cases of avian influenza, the main reason is:
First, winter and spring is a respiratory infectious disease-prone season, monitoring data show that since mid-November 2016, medical institutions in the province of influenza-like cases accounted for the proportion of the total number of outpatient patients higher than the same period last year; the second is related to recent climate change , Since October 2016, rainy weather in our province on the high side, the air humidity, the average temperature is high, help to extend the survival time of the avian influenza virus in the external environment; In addition, frequent since winter mist haze weather, stimulate the human respiratory mucosa , And reduce the resistance to the virus; Third, some local poultry retail market, avian influenza virus contamination, live market monitoring of external environment, such as H7 virus-positive rate in December 2016 to 15.79%, and the vast majority of H7N9 positive; with the retail market management measures (such as regular rest, disinfection, clean up, zero inventory, etc.) is not in place, an increase of population exposure and infection risk.
However, monitoring showed that H7N9 epidemic situation still showed a sporadic situation, no pathogenicity of the virus, changes in the spread of the reported cases of population characteristics and infection patterns did not change significantly.
The possibility of large-scale epidemic is very small
Provincial Health Planning Commission, said recently, around the implementation of the strengthening of the retail market management measures, some cities and counties in New Year's Day 2017 before the suspension of all types of live poultry transactions. Experts believe that the province at this stage the possibility of H7N9 widespread epidemic is minimal.
At present, the flu will gradually enter the traditional high season, experts advise that high-risk groups of people infected with H7N9 avian influenza, in the first week before the onset of contact with poultry or live poultry market, especially the elderly, with chronic underlying diseases ( Such as high blood pressure, diabetes) and immunocompromised people. In addition, pregnant women once infected with H7N9 avian influenza virus, easy to make the condition worse. If there is fever, headache, nasal congestion, cough, general malaise and other respiratory symptoms should wear a mask, as soon as possible to the hospital fever clinic, and under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
It is understood that, in response to bird flu, early in 2014, the province introduced a special provision to strengthen the monitoring and detection of the epidemic and found that suspicious cases will lead to an independent clinic disposal. Once diagnosed, two hours to be reported to the provincial health department, the implementation of targeted treatment of patients. The province identified 16 hospitals, designated treatment of critically ill patients. This list of 16 designated hospitals in the last year to deal with avian flu, the province except Nanjing, each city has one, Nanjing, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing Second Hospital, Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and the Chinese University Hospital.:tiphat:http://news.163.com/17/0110/07/CADEFIRP000187VI.html
