What is chickenpox? How to prevent it?
Varicella is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the primary infection of varicella-zoster virus. It can be infected by people of any age. It is mainly affected by infants and pre-school and school-age children. Children can develop pneumonia and brain after the onset. Complications such as inflammation.
People who have chickenpox usually have fever and itchy rashes.
These rashes are flat at first and then form small raised blisters.
Varicella belongs to the centripetal distribution. Generally, the front chest and back will appear first, and the distribution is dense, and then spread to other parts, the face will be more, and the limbs will be less. However, in severe cases, it may be distributed throughout the body.
lasts for 3-4 days, then it becomes dry and crusted. It takes about 2-3 weeks to fully heal.
Dr. Liu Yanling from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University introduced that at present, patients with varicella-zoster virus infection are mainly treated symptomatically, and there is no specific treatment.
(1) The most effective and economical way to prevent and control chickenpox is vaccination --- Live Attenuated Varicella Vaccine (VarV).
(2) Schools and kindergartens strictly implement morning and afternoon check-ups and track down the cause of students who are absent due to illness, and promptly deal with suspected chickenpox patients.
(3) Develop good personal hygiene and living habits, wash your hands before and after meals and after touching dirty things, change, wash, and dry clothes and bedding frequently, and keep your hands in contact with respiratory secretions (such as sneezing, blowing After nasal discharge), wash your hands immediately to avoid touching the mouth, eyes, and nose with dirty hands.
(4) Keep the room ventilated and open windows frequently for ventilation.
(5) During the high epidemic season, avoid crowded public places with polluted air and visit the patient's home to reduce the chance of illness. If relevant symptoms occur, seek medical treatment in time, reduce contact with others, and try to stay at home.
(6) Adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and sleep reasonably; supplement nutrition, eat scientifically, and eat more foods rich in high-quality protein and trace elements; strengthen exercise to enhance self-immunity.
Know more. D: About chickenpox, this knowledge will soon get
. With waves of cold waves going south, Guangdong also enters winter and spring. A few days ago, the Guangzhou Preventive Medicine Association hosted a seminar on the prevention and control of infectious diseases under the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Guangzhou. Experts reminded that in winter and spring, in addition to continuing to prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic, mumps, measles, rubella, chickenpox and other upper respiratory tract infections Sexual diseases should also be prevented. Especially in recent years, the number of reported chickenpox cases in my country has ranked first among children's vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. We call on adults or children who have never had chickenpox to get chickenpox vaccine.
will be the high-incidence period of chickenpox until January next year.
Like other infectious diseases, chickenpox also has an epidemic season. The peak incidence is from May to July, October to January of the following year, and November to January is the peak of winter and spring epidemics with more and more severe cases than summer.
During the epidemic season, chickenpox outbreaks are mainly concentrated on children in kindergartens and elementary schools. This is because chickenpox is relatively contagious and the virus can be transmitted through respiratory droplets or indirect contact. .
must be distinguished from other respiratory diseases.
Varicella patients are the main source of infection of the disease. Patients with mild symptoms are easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. It is worth noting that for newborns or people with weakened immune system, chickenpox may be a fatal disease. Since most shingles occur in people over the age of 50 or those with a weakened immune system, generally speaking, the symptoms of adults are generally severe after being infected with the virus.
Zheng Huizhen, an expert on immunization programs in Guangdong Province, said that the transmission routes of chickenpox and new coronary pneumonia are mainly the respiratory tract and contact transmission, and they have a similar incubation period. "The clinical symptoms of the two diseases are also similar. Varicella infection increases the pressure on the differential diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia. Therefore, in the winter and spring, the prevention and control of varicella disease under the new coronary pneumonia epidemic is also particularly important."
vaccination is the only effective way
varicella. It is highly contagious, mainly through air droplets, direct contact and vertical transmission from mother to child, but also through contaminated equipment.
At present, vaccination against varicella is the only effective way to prevent the disease. However, according to relevant statistics, the national varicella vaccination rate in my country from 2007 to 2017 was only 61.1%, and the varicella vaccination rate for school-age children was low. Currently, the provinces and cities that include varicella vaccine in the immunization program include Qingdao, Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Shenzhen.
In most areas, varicella vaccine is a non-immunization program vaccine (Class II vaccine), Zheng Huizhen introduced, under normal circumstances, voluntary inoculation 2 doses at their own expense: 12~24 months of age, the first dose, 4~6 years of age, the second dose . For those who fail to complete 2 doses of vaccination according to the procedure, make up 2 doses with an interval of more than 3 months.
zWhat 0z needs to remind is that don’t think it’s safe to have chickenpox once. When the body’s immunity declines, the possibility of a second infection cannot be ruled out. The virus in the body may also recur and cause herpes zoster. Source of: Guangzhou Daily
