Explore the reasons: Why are there so many people cold
The past, people always feel cold spring is the easiest. May have entered the winter holds many lessons, why suddenly so many flu patients? Department of Respiratory Medicine, Zhongda Hospital, Nanjing Master Ren Linyong believe that the recent emergence of so many cold Nanjing cases, the recent weather conditions and Nanjing have a direct relationship.
According to reports, the recent emergence of Nanjing cold weather for several days, sudden cold weather so difficult to adapt once the citizens of Nanjing, the elderly, children, usually relatively weak physical groups, it is difficult to Kangde Zhu, formerly of potential physical where the disease is easy to induce them, resulting in a cold, fever and other symptoms.
Acute Communicable Disease Control in Nanjing CDC chief of Hong Lei told reporters that although the major hospitals in Nanjing significant increase in flu cases, but they are testing for months, are not found in Nanjing, H1N1 influenza A virus-positive cases. This shows that large numbers of flu patients holds many lessons, but the common cold, is not H1N1, the people who do not have to tense.
It is understood that the present total of five Nanjing national influenza surveillance sentinel influenza virus H1N1, including the Children's Hospital, First Hospital, the Provincial People's Hospital. A flow from the 2009 outbreak, CDC, Nanjing weekly from 5 to sentinel hospitals to collect specimens, each 10 or so, get laboratory monitoring. So far, this work did not stop. Since June of last year, the Division of monitoring sentinel hospitals from more than 1,400 specimens obtained so far have not found positive for influenza A H1N1 virus cases. Hongke Zhang believes that the current seasonal influenza A H3N2 subtype of Nanjing still pop-oriented.

In addition to continuous low temperatures near Nanjing, the reasons, experts also believe that the Nanjing nearly dry during the fog and haze, "also contributed to the high incidence of common cold is one important reason." According to reports, this year in nearly a dozens of Nanjing The most severe autumn drought years, after the winter there is only two brief rain and snow, under the exceptionally dry air Nanjing, there were frequent haze days, allowing bacteria, viruses are very active form of the respiratory tract of people very large stimuli, and influenza virus in a dry environment, the reproduction rate will be significantly accelerated, which to some extent, to cause the flu and other respiratory diseases.
