Every day doctors take from 20 to 30 people


Birobidzhan, February 27, EAOmedia. SARS and flu intensified in autonomy - about 200 patients being treated in hospital for infectious diseases of the Jewish Autonomous Region. Every day doctors take from 20 to 30 cases chelovek.Sredi especially many children. Epidemiologists argue moderate rise in the incidence and no cause for alarm, according to news agency citing EAOmedia STRC "Beer" .

"In the regional infectious diseases hospital, designed for 78 beds patients to order more. Much infants. Patients being taken from around the area.

No epidemic situation under control - claim in the regional Rospotrebnazore. Talk about numbers, statistics, and that the virus is not as dangerous as painted. On the so-called "swine flu" and tell a little cautiously. He really stepped up and its main risk - complications.

"Its main complication - it's pneumonia, pneumonia can be very heavy. Unseasonably When to seek medical care, they can finish and fatal," - says the head of Rospotrebnadzor in Eugene Myronenko EAO.

Recognize that kind of attack knock out, you can, but not immediately. Only laboratory tests can help. And here the medical service in solidarity - high temperature is cause for concern.

The city "fast" busy season. Big rise viral infection forced to work on the edge. In the night from about 200 calls, and often children.

"We accept everyone, no one will refuse and give advice - or to a clinic or to a local doctor. But many parents are engaged in self-denials and a large percentage of hospitalization," - said the chief doctor ambulance Birobidzhan Leonid Gulenok.

In the corridors of "child" unusually quiet and empty. Incidentally cause GP home - is now almost impossible. 19-minute sections are 17 pediatricians and then nominally. Two of them in the decree, two more on holiday and three doctors on their studies.

"If we would have lost two or three doctors, well, they get sick, then all stood up to question only provide extra children only 1 year of age, and all the other invited to the clinic," - said the chief physician at Children's Hospital EAO Dmitry Borisenko .

Preepidemic situation, recovery and moderate stands on the same level as last year, says immunologist Svetlana fishing. The most reliable means of antiviral prophylaxis - calls vaccinated.

"This vaccine is not only against the flu, but it also contains a substance polyoxidonium that boosts the immune system and other viral diseases. Who received a vaccination, it is protected not only from the flu, but also other viral infections," - the doctor's office of vaccine- prevention of child hospital EAO Svetlana fishing.

Such vaccination put twice a year and prior to the outbreak of SARS and influenza. 100 percent guarantee vaccine does not, but as we are assured doctors - will not hurt so hard and minimal risk of complications.

Besides preventive medications and vaccines made in advance to protect themselves from the ubiquitous virus and help mask. It is desirable to use even when you're just out for a walk.

Such dressings certainly help, but they need to be changed every four hours. And this advice, doctors recommend not to neglect.
