This disease is seriously killed, and there are millions of children at home!

Recently, many children in Shifang City, Sichuan Province swimming in a swimming pool, had fever symptoms. After testing, the preliminary judgment was caused by adenovirus.

As a more severe virus infection among children, parents must understand their knowledge of prevention and treatment!

What is adenovirus?

Agenal virus is not a new type of virus. It is a common virus that causes children's respiratory tract infections. Children's 4%-10%of community obtaining pneumonia is caused by adenovirus infection.

In addition to causing respiratory tract infections, adenovirus can also cause pharyng conjunctiva, corneal conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis and diarrhea.

Most symptoms of adenovirus infection are milder, and there are one or two cases of hospitalization per 100 children. Most symptoms of most cases can heal themselves without obvious seasonal differences.

However, from the medical perspective, individual cases may occur in severe cases, and even death. Especially patients with immune defects or chronic respiratory diseases, heart disease and other patients, the risk of severe diseases after infection with adenovirus is higher. Generally speaking, the mortality rate of severe patients is relatively high, and the mortality rate of some patients with severe patients has reached 30%-40%.

Adinel virus is contagious. Although everyone may be infected, the most common is children under 5 years old, of which infants and young children between 6 months and 2 years old are particularly susceptible to infection. The infection incubation period is generally 2 days-21 days, with an average 3-day-8 days.

Symptoms of adenovirus infection are similar to influenza, but there is no special drug, which is also an important cause of higher mortality in patients with severe adenovirus infection.

The high fever caused by gland virus can last for 1-2 weeks. If pneumonia is serious, it will cause damage to the lungs, and some may even have sequelae.

How to judge that the child is "attacked" by adenovirus?

Continuous fever, cough, asthma, etc. are the most obvious symptoms of adenovirus infection. However, due to the clinical manifestations of adenovirus infection in the early stage, many parents mistakenly believe that the cold is not valued, resulting in the best treatment time for delays.

The correct diagnosis method is to go to a regular hospital in time, and the hospital can be detected by a nasopharyngeal swab.

The way of transmission of adenovirus is:

1) Drinking spread, this is also the most important way of communication, such as patients coughing or sneezing, etc.;

2) Contact transmission, such as the object or surface of the adenovirus pollution, the touches, nasal or eyes without washing, the touches, nasal or eyes;

3) Digestive tract transmission, adenovirus can be transmitted through the feces of infected people, such as diapers replacement.

What can I do not be "stared" by adenovirus?

If you want to prevent adenovirus infection, you can wear a mask and wash your hands frequently to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unclean hands, and avoid close contact with patients, especially in public places such as dense places.

Other precautions include:

Wash the water tank, the kitchen table and the surface of other items with bleach and water; do not share towels, bedding, pajamas and other personal supplies with others; should cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing; Keep the environment clean.

Once the adenovirus is infected, the symptoms should be separated at home to avoid going to public places. If there are severe symptoms such as continuous high fever, cough, and shortness of breath, you should go to the hospital in time, and intensive cases need to be hospitalized.
