According to the regional sanitary station in the last week in Donetsk, acute respiratory infection, infected about 3,600 people.

- This is still a factor of 2 below the epidemic threshold - emphasizes the main state sanvrach Donetsk region Viktor Denisenko.

But are taken into consideration only those who went to doctors, but in reality - many carry the disease on their feet and are treated independently, without the help of doctors. So that the actual number of cases is much higher.

Meanwhile, doctors in hospitals literally fall down from exhaustion.

- The first days of September, it was quiet, and now - Abraham, patients become at times more than once. Every day, our doctors (they are on duty, two by two) take about a hundred children in one session and the same - in the second. Just head spin! - Shared with reporters a nurse clinics Donetsk primary health-care number 1. - The doctor must also bypass patients at home. If last week was a 2-3 call to the area on the day, but now doctors called immediately with 15-20 addresses for each site.

Basically now affects children of kindergarten age 3-5 years - doctors say. - Parents complain about the heat - from 38 degrees and above, you can not knock down five days, many people make repeated calls. Occasionally, the disease is accompanied by a cough.

- This all temperaturyaschih patients we have to take a separate entrance - the so-called cell. But we have it is not equipped, in fact, such functions we perform office head nurse - says the same pediatric clinic. - And many parents ignore this rule and lead their children through the front door, it appears that a number are coughing, sneezing kids, and those who came to the medical examination or immunization. As a result, suffer from it.
But pharmacists and pharmacists rather rubbing their hands.

- After the "dead" of the summer season, now sales have gone into growth. We just fly antivirals - amizon, arbidol, Anaferon - says Daniel Kowalczyk, manager of a large wholesale drug companies Donetsk. - Only orders grew weak as the next day pharmacy require a new party. And in our corporate pharmacy every morning - turn.

But flu vaccines still in the area did not deliver. To begin the immunization doctors gathered in October and November. By the way, today the registration of the drug until there were 4 - "Vaxigrip", "Intaza" (France), "Fluarix" (Germany) and "Influvak" (The Netherlands). According to the forecasts of doctors, this year we will be circulating soon 3 strains of influenza, "old friend" and California (H1N1) and the "newbies" and Victoria (H3N2) and B "Wisconsin".
