Flu-monitoring data over the years showed that the winter season was the highest season for influenza in Beijing and peaked in December-January. Recently, the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an outbreak. The current incidence of influenza is at a high level. A recent case of influenza death has occurred in the city. Relevant experts predict that in the coming period, the influenza virus will lead to an increase in epidemics of fever in the collective units of primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, and it will not rule out the possibility of serious illnesses and deaths. With regard to the recent news of frequent H7N9 cases in some parts of the country, the relevant departments reminded the public to ban the use of wild animals picked up in the wild when they are going out or traveling.

Beijing has flu deaths

In winter, when the weather is cold, the wind is strong, and the human body is vulnerable to cold. As a result, the resistance weakens and the virus takes advantage of invasion and invasion of the respiratory system. Therefore, compared to the other three seasons, people are more vulnerable to influenza attacks in winter. It is reported that since late November 2016, the number of influenza-like cases and the percentage of cases in Beijing have been slowly increasing. According to the 51st week of 2016, the number of 144 medical centers at Grade 2 or above in the city had accumulated 1,153,520 visits, including 17,772 influenza-like cases, accounting for 1.54%, higher than the 50th week level (1.49%) and the same period of last year. Level (1.08%).

According to the Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, a recent case of flu death has occurred in Beijing.

According to the Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, recent monitoring data show that the daily number of influenza-like cases in Beijing has shown a gradual upward trend in early November 2016. From October 31, 2016 to December 18, 2016, more than 9.6 million influenza-like cases were reported in hospitals that focused on the monitoring, control, and treatment of influenza at or above grade two in Beijing, a slight increase from the same period in 2015. Recently, there has been a case of flu death in Beijing.

According to the relevant doctor of Tiantan Hospital, the flu and the cold have performed in the same way. Many patients mistakenly treat the flu as a common cold. In fact, the flu is more prone to high fever than the common cold, burns at 39 degrees or more, and is easily contagious. For patients with the above conditions, they should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment. In addition, flu vaccination before the flu peak is the most effective measure to prevent influenza. Through the monitoring of influenza outbreaks in Beijing in the past 10 years, it has been found that large-scale influenza vaccination can significantly reduce the number of flu epidemics.

School is a virus hit hardest

Since December-January is the high incidence of influenza in Beijing, the relevant departments expect that the level of influenza activity in Beijing will continue to increase in the coming period. The concentration of possible episodes of fever in collective units such as primary and secondary schools and kindergartens will be further increased due to the influenza virus. , does not rule out the occurrence of critical illness and death may be particularly vulnerable to children, the elderly and people suffering from chronic influenza and other high-risk groups.

It is reported that as of last week, the city's disease control center has reported that concentrated fever epidemics have occurred in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, including illnesses caused by influenza A subtype H3N2 virus, adenovirus, etc., preliminary analysis, all ages The number of influenza-like illnesses in the group showed an upward trend, especially in children aged 0-14 years. Influenza virus strains were dominated by the subtype H3N2.

In this regard, the city’s disease control proposal suggested that primary and secondary schools and child care institutions adhere to the midday check system and absence due to illness monitoring to promptly identify cases of fever and conduct isolation and treatment. A concentrated fever epidemic is reported to the CDC and higher authorities in the district; During fever episodes, minimize large gathering activities. During the episode of epidemic fever, primary and secondary schools and child-care institutions follow the "non-essential, non-sponsored" principle to minimize major gathering activities.

In view of the fact that primary schools and child care institutions are places of high risk of viral infection, besides daily disinfection of easily contaminated parts such as desks, stair railings, and door handles, we must pay attention to disinfection of public toilets, public passages and classrooms; , Disease absence registration, epidemic reports and other systems, effective promotion of Norovirus infection prevention knowledge. Once children and students are found to have high fever and other related symptoms, they should be instructed to seek medical treatment, and strictly implement the quarantine measures for suspended classes.

In addition to the influenza virus, the high season of norovirus infection is also in autumn and winter. Norovirus, also known as Norovirus infectious diarrhea, is characterized by acute onset, rapid transmission, and wide range of infection. It is highly infectious and mainly transmitted through the intestines. It can be transmitted through contaminated water, food, articles, and air. It often causes collective outbreaks in communities, schools, restaurants, hospitals, nurseries, orphanages and the military. Norovirus antibodies have no significant protective effect, especially without long-term immune protection, which can easily cause repeated infections.

Since November 2016, Beijing has reported a total of 31 episodes of acute gastroenteritis, with a slight increase in the number of epidemics.

Among them, 28 were caused by norovirus, and others were infected by astroviruses, zebraviruses, etc. Among all outbreaks, 16 were in kindergartens, 10 in primary schools, 1 in secondary schools, and 1 in hospitals. No significant changes were detected in the monitored viral genes, and the clustered outbreaks will continue to emerge.

During the Spring Festival, we should pay more attention to the flu

With the opening of the Spring Festival in 2017, people in public places such as train stations, airports and passenger stations are crowded and noisy, air circulation is not smooth, and influenza viruses are more likely to be transmitted in this environment. Therefore, defensive measures must be taken when traveling in the near future.

According to relevant experts, the environment for the Spring Festival travel season is relatively intensive. In addition, the air in the confined spaces of the carriages is turbid and provides conditions for the spread of germs. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, respiratory infectious diseases are more easily transmitted to healthy people. The common prevention and control diseases of respiratory infectious diseases in the winter and spring season are bird flu, influenza, mumps, chickenpox, and so on.

“Some old or weak people in this kind of environment are suggested to wear masks because respiratory infections are mainly transmitted by droplets, so if a mask is used to block this route, it is relatively less likely to infect respiratory infections. To mention one thing, some public places still have some handrails on public transportation, or places that are often easily encountered, suggesting that citizens wash their hands, wash their hands and eat or touch the nose, ears, and nose as soon as possible.” Doctors advise that travel should be done during the Spring Festival. Personal protection.

Passengers should open the windows more when they have conditions. When conditions are not allowed, it is advisable to use the stop gap and get off fresh air. People with weaker resistance are better advised to carry some anti-infective or immunity-enhancing drugs with them. If symptoms appear before departure, try to postpone travel. When you have flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, and sore throat, seek medical attention. At the same time, to develop good personal hygiene habits, patients in need can also be vaccinated in advance.

In addition, children, the elderly, and residents suffering from chronic communicable diseases should not be exposed to crowded places or air pollution, and should wear masks for a long time while paying attention to personal safety. Patients with respiratory symptoms, such as respiratory tract, should promptly attend a regular hospital. Patients go out, go to the hospital, wear masks when visiting relatives and friends, so as not to infect others.

The city’s disease control reminds that the 2017 Spring Festival holiday is coming. It also coincides with the high season of flu and Norovirus infections and other respiratory infectious diseases. The movement of people visiting relatives, friends, travel, and parties will increase the risk of disease transmission. Public health risks, the public should be vigilant.

Vigilance: Reports of multiple bird flu cases

Recently, there have been cases of H7N9 influenza in parts of the country. It is understood that South Korea and Japan recently reported an H5N6 bird flu outbreak in poultry. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, bird flu H5N6 and H5N8 outbreaks have occurred in poultry. Some southern provinces have also reported cases of human infection with H5N6 and H7N9 bird flu.

Human bird flu cases are mainly characterized by respiratory infections, conjunctivitis and other symptoms. Severe disease patients develop rapidly, often with severe pneumonia, may be associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, multiple organ failure, or even death.

According to the introduction of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, winter is the season of high incidence of bird flu outbreak among poultry and the consumption of live poultry during the Spring Festival has increased. Although Beijing has closed the live poultry market since 2005, there are still live poultry sales and slaughter in rural and rural areas, and the neighboring provinces have not closed the live poultry market. Therefore, the possibility of local cases in Beijing is not ruled out. When people travel, they are strictly prohibited from eating wild animals that have been found dead. When playing in the farmhouse, do not slaughter the livestock and keep away from the slaughterhouse.

According to the current situation, Korea is still an area where the H7N9 outbreak is more serious. During the Spring Festival, many citizens have chosen to travel. In this regard, relevant experts reminded that before traveling, we should understand the epidemic situation of destination countries and regions, pay attention to personal hygiene, and improve Disease prevention awareness. After returning from the endemic area for two weeks, symptoms should be treated in a regular hospital, and they should take the initiative to inform them of the history of the trip and assist in the diagnosis. If necessary, they should be treated as if they were doctors.
