With the age of age, the immune function of the elderly has gradually declined. In addition to the new coronary pneumonia, influenza, pneumonia, and minobacteria, and shingles are common infectious diseases in the elderly, with high incidence and severe disease burden. Today, the Hunan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that the relevant vaccines in time should become the key group of immune protection.

What are the common infectious diseases of the elderly?

Experts from the Hunan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that due to the gradual decay of the immune function of the elderly, and the elderly, the elderly have a higher probability of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases, and the risk of infectious diseases has increased significantly. Once the elderly have infections, the condition is often serious, which seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly and increases the risk of death.

In addition to the new coronary pneumonia, influenza, pneumonia, and pneumonia, and shingles are common infectious diseases in the elderly, with high incidence and severe disease burden.

influenza. After the influenza infected with low immunity, severe influenza may occur, and secondary viral pneumonia may occur, secondary lung infections, etc., resulting in patients need to be hospitalized or extend the date of hospitalization. Elderly influenza patients with chronic basic diseases can easily cause aggravation of chronic diseases after illness, and even acute respiratory failure, acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc., endangering patient life.

pneumonia. This is a common disease, especially in the age of 60 and patients with chronic diseases. In my country, the incidence of pneumonia over 65 years old is 1.6%. With the increase of age, the incidence of pneumonia increased sharply, and the incidence of pneumonia over 75 years old was as high as 11.6%. Not only do the elderly have a high incidence of pneumonia, they often have a long course after infection with pneumonia. It is not easy to heal. The pathogens that cause pneumonia include a variety of microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and mycoplasma, and pneumococcus can be described as culprit. According to information, 46%to 76%of communities obtained sex pneumonia are caused by pneumoniae. In addition to pneumonia, pneumococcus is also an important pathogenic culprit for meningitis, bacteria, otitis media, and acute sinusitis.

Zebing. Shop herpes zoster is a common infectious disease caused by the adequate festival after the initial infection after the spinal cord or in the intracranial nerve. Increased significant increase is one of the infectious diseases that are susceptible to the middle -aged and elderly people. According to statistics, there are as many as 1.56 million new -shaped shingles every year in China. Zospellings usually occur in lumbosacral and facials. The most significant symptoms are painful, with diverse pain properties. It can be "knife -cut", "acupuncture", "burning sample" and other pain. Acute pain is very severe, and the degree of pain exceeds childbirth and cancer pain, which seriously affects the patient's daily life and work. At present, the treatment of shingles is mostly antiviral and symptomatic treatment, and there is no special drug.

How to prevent common infectious diseases for the elderly?

Experts from the Hunan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminded that the "Elderly Ins Energy Prevention Core Information" issued by the National Health and Health Commission and the "my country Health Protection Initiative" issued by the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Chinese Prevention Medical Association clearly states that the elderly To enhance the awareness of vaccination to prevent diseases, it is necessary to actively vaccinate new crown vaccines, epidemic cold vaccines (referred to as "influenza vaccine"), pneumonia, and shingles vaccine.

Scientifically and standardized vaccination can effectively reduce the risk of infection, significantly improve the risk of severe illnesses and death, which is of great significance to improving the quality of life of the elderly.
