"We have the entire ward for about a week, in most cases, patients with severe pneumonia that started as the flu," said Dr. Adolf yesterday Diez, head of internal medicine at the Hospital del Mar , Barcelona. The service did not come to be saturated because they enabled the fortnight of beds that are part of the emergency support unit, scheduled for winter epidemics. And also explains Diez, because they are delaying the entry of those who had planned interventions that are not strictly urgent. The phenomenon is repeated in other health centers.
BABIES STARTED / And something similar happens with young babies or children under 4 years, for whom the flu can become in a few hours, in a disturbing respiratory crisis. The children began the influenza epidemic, and are those who maintain a higher incidence. At present, in Catalonia suffer flu 320 of every 100,000 children under 4 years. Among adults, the infection affects this week to 130 per 100,000 citizens, according to the Department of Health Service. There is also a flu epidemic in 14 other Spanish regions, with a slightly higher incidence. "The spread of the epidemic will increase over the next four weeks, said yesterday Dr. Carme heads, deputy director of Promotion de la Salut. Last winter was mild flu and peaked at 270 per 100,000 inhabitants hope something happens this year. " The coincidence of intense cold these days favors the transmission of influenza viruses, said Cabezas, who suggested airing the homes to prevent contagion. "A few minutes with the windows open is enough to get outside air into the house, 'he said. Who already suffer the flu, you should cover your mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. At home, it should not be too close to each other. " The influenza virus has a great ease of transmission. You can only being infected with breathing or speaking with a patient. Salut estimated that 20% of the Catalan population is susceptible to the flu this winter, although about 70% of these individuals were vaccinated in the fall.
Be vaccinated or prevent spread, of suffering, reduces the consequences of infection. It reduces the risk of a fatal complication. "It is proven that when influenza epidemic increased mortality, although it is not possible to attribute these deaths to the virus, said Cabezas. The infection is not fatal in a healthy person. "
Interestingly, this year's influenza epidemic is becoming more noticeable in hospitals than in primary care centers (CAP), patients receiving less severe. "We noticed a slight increase in visits, but not much, said Dr. Albert Boada, Maragall CAP. Visits to the homes themselves have grown: this week we have 50% more. "
Doctors advise against recourse to health services when those who suffer the flu is a person with no chronic conditions. "No need to call the doctor, nor is it appropriate to take any drugs except an antipyretic and an analgesic for mild headache and bones," reiterates Boada, which discourages especially resorting to antibiotics. "If three or four days after the onset of flu remains a high fever of 39 degrees or more, yes that is appropriate to call the doctor," warns Cabezas. In general, advised to be still in bed and take frequent hot liquids.
