Editor, Senior Moderator
? We treated on two cases without seriousness. Both patients remained each four days in service ?. The professor Frederick Lucht aims the service of infectious and tropical diseases in the TEACHING HOSPITAL of Saint-?tienne.
Other Lig?riens was probably victims of the virus without having recourse to a specialized consultation or then felt better back in metropolis.
For this specialist, the dengue is "in general not serious". Nevertheless the number mattering from patients generates some lethal forms inevitably. As influenza.
Not of chikungunya in the North hospital but 15 - 20 new cases per year of paludism. ? In general, it is persons who arrive from Black Africa ?.
Really, in the register of diseases of vacation, the doctor received a patient suffering from " Mediterranean pimply fever ". The man, back from the region Languedoc - Roussillon, introduced fever and buttons. The responsible microbe is also transmitted by an insect, of type tick.
No typhoid fever this year, the last case dates from last year.

In this speciality, the biggest period of activity is in January or February, when the holidaymakers come back from tropical or equatorial destinations. And then risk would consist in merging a paludism with an influenza. Numerous symptoms are similar: evil of head, fever, aches and respiratory signs. ? Even in a paludism, the patient can cough ?.
An engrossment left the activity of this service is turned to prevention. Besides, among vaccines recommended for certain destinations, that counters yellow fever can be injected only in hospitals.
The other common vaccines at the passengers, as hepatitis and typhoid fever, can be accomplished at the medicated doctor's.
The other important precautionary shutter is that of advice. The candidates for exotic destinations can phone: they will point out to to them the health circumspection to be taken according to their location in the world.

As regards the dengue, the professor Lucht suggests to sleep only under mosquito net, ? even for siesta ?, to carry ample clothes ", to use repellents " and, especially, to eliminate all places of stagnant water which could act as shelters in eggs of mosquitoes. They know that the mosquito able of transporting the virus, Aedes albopictus, is already present in metropolitan France: Var, Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rh?ne, Corsica. It would not be necessary that it pricks a polluted person because then, he could broadcast illness here even. Happily, in our region, we have a good parade: winter cold.
