10month28日In the evening, the Municipal Health Bureau reported that a cluster epidemic of influenza A occurred in the Beihang Military Training Group, and the first death case of influenza A occurred in the city. In response to questions from some citizens, Fang Laiying, director of the Municipal Health Bureau, said in an exclusive interview with this reporter that medical science has always believed that "colds are the source of all diseases." Previously, seasonal influenza every year would also cause severe illness or death in some patients. As long as appropriate measures are taken, influenza A is preventable, controllable and curable, so citizens do not need to panic.
Fang Laiying told reporters that in essence, type AH1N1Influenza is a subtype of influenza virus. Although human understanding of this virus is still very limited, judging from global case statistics, mild cases of influenza A account for the vast majority and are self-limiting diseases.
Beijing is about to enter the annual influenza season. Some experts predict that this winter and spring influenza epidemic seasons will encounter cross-over epidemics of influenza A and traditional seasonal influenza. At present, the city has actively adopted prevention and control measures to deal with possible influenza peaks, including: accelerating the free vaccination of primary and secondary w88 casino students, the elderly, public service personnel and other key groups to form an immune barrier among key groups; establishing a medical treatment team and conducting comprehensive training for treating doctors in various medical institutions; and preparing supplies such as Tamiflu and traditional Chinese medicine. In view of the recent surge in the number of children admitted to Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Seoul Children’s Hospital,27On the evening of the same day, the Municipal Health Bureau issued an emergency notice at the city’s president’s meeting,103A hospital with pediatrics extends outpatient hours, based on demand24We provide consultations on hours and on weekends, which effectively relieves the pressure of medical treatment. While working overtime to attend consultations, medical staff also actively promoted health knowledge, clearly informed children of the diagnosis and treatment time periods, and diverted some children with mild symptoms to community hospitals to prevent nosocomial cross-infection. to278570_8599
In response to the first death case of influenza A in Beijing, Fang Laiying emphasized that seasonal influenza also causes severe illness and death in some patients every year. Type AH1N1When influenza strikes, the entire population has no immunity to it. Therefore, it is normal for the infection rate to be high and severe cases to occur, and the possibility of severe death cases occurring again in the future does not rule out the possibility. However, judging from global case statistics, the vast majority of H1N1 patients have mild symptoms. As long as citizens maintain good living habits such as washing hands frequently and opening windows frequently, the spread of the virus can be effectively suppressed.
Fang Laiying once again reminded citizens through the media that they should not be nervous if they have fever symptoms, and do not blindly rush to large hospitals. Instead, they should observe the symptoms calmly. Patients with mild symptoms can go to the nearest community hospital first, and patients with severe symptoms should go to large hospitals. Please wear a mask when seeing a doctor. In autumn and winter, citizens are also asked to drink more water, exercise frequently, ensure a good sleep, and avoid crowded public places.
