Modern medicine is not able to recognize half the spread of infections
News Topics: Health
Medica today are unable to recognize up to 50% of infectious diseases. Mutation increases the risk of infection: even well-known disease develop atypical or even without any symptoms.
These data were given yesterday at the meeting in Moscow on the first All-Russian Congress on Infectious Diseases. According to doctors, the risk is very high.
Senior Expert-infection MHSD Russia, Academician of RAMS Victor Maleev reported that over the past two or three years, an infectious disease transferred every third Russian. He noted that there are serious difficulties with the diagnosis: in many countries, mostly developing ones, are not able to recognize up to 50% of infectious diseases. In developed countries the picture is slightly better, although not by much.
?Today's infection is often atypical or even asymptomatic, they have a prolonged course and high mortality?, - emphasized Maleyev.
Apart from the unknown disease of domestic health professionals concerned about the proliferation of extremely well-known: in Russia there is a trend to increased incidence of anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, tuberculosis, HIV. The head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) Gennady Onishchenko said that the danger to the Russians, many infections (both known and more rare) clear and ?very close?.
More other main sanvrach country fears the virus H5N1 (avian influenza), which increases the likelihood of infection with the seasonal migrations of birds. The risk, he said, is particularly high because of the close contacts between Russia and China. According to the World Health Organization, only at the beginning of this year, China recorded seven cases of bird flu among humans, four of them - fatal.
Since 1997, 15 countries reported 411 cases, 255 people have died from infection. WHO specialists are concerned with new outbreaks of H5N1 in Asia and the Pacific: this virus can be the beginning of a new pandemic, the victims of which they estimated could be more than 7 million people worldwide, including more than 700 thousand - in Russia. According to Onishchenko, while cases of the disease in Russia is not fixed, but the reluctance of the primary network and inadequate pharmaceutical industry is worrying.
?Need a supply of antiretroviral drugs, equipped hospitals, the opportunity for a short time to produce the vaccine and provide up to 40 - 50 million people?, - he said.
Onishchenko said that the opportunities today in Russia farmproizvoditeley not: in preparation for the current epidemic season they have not coped with the order, released in 2008 only 18 million doses of influenza vaccine, instead of 40 million
According to the Chief sanvracha Russia, the problem of prevention and control of infections will be reviewed in June at a meeting of heads of states - members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Yekaterinburg.
Victor Maleev, in turn, pointed to the lack of medical institutions of laboratory equipment and personnel. In doing so, he said, despite the reality of the threat to Russian hospitals reduced 21 infectious department, but the country needed 10 thousand infectionists only 7.5 thousand
