Treatment of patients to doctors in connection with the incidence of influenza in Latvia remains low, according to the Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
Number of hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of "flu" in this season not too high.

As portal Gorod.lv told the head of the Daugavpils Regional Hospital Inta Vaivode , epidemic that occurred in previous years, this year is not, and this is due, probably, to the fact that winter this year almost was not. Epidemic usually occurs at the end of February and beginning of March, when warmer and the virus "woke up", but this year, according to some doctors, do not "fall asleep".

"Influenza epidemics currently not in DRB for a season was only a few cases. We have another problem - rotavirus, which is "raging" at the moment and among children and adults. Activity of the disease also depends on the weather and epidemiological conditions. A couple of weeks ago, infectious offices were filled by patients with rotavirus, "- saidInta Vaivode .

Head of the hospital said that while there is no state program providing free vaccinations against rotavirus can advise parents of children and find a way to make the child immunized against rotavirus infection because more expensive to treat than to prevent it.

As for the flu epidemic that this season especially doctors do not expect, but note that any infection - uncontrollable.
