Norovirus infection broke out in some primary schools and kindergartens in Nanchang, and the CDC issued a warning.

Recently, Norovirus infection broke out in some primary schools and kindergartens in Nanchang, leading to vomiting and diarrhea.

Remind students and parents that when there is a suspected or confirmed epidemic situation of infectious diseases, they should not conceal their illness and are not allowed to attend classes with illness. It is required that many students in the school should report their illness to the disease control department within 2 hours. If a suspected patient is found, it shall not be concealed or lied, and offenders shall be held accountable to the relevant personnel.

Just today, Nanchang CDC issued a health warning in November. In addition to norovirus, Nanchang CDC reminds the public that autumn and winter are also the high incidence periods of hand, foot and mouth disease, infectious diarrhea, tuberculosis and influenza.

In addition, according to the data released by the Provincial Health Planning Commission, nearly 10,000 cases of hand, foot and mouth disease, other infectious diarrhea and influenza were reported in the province in September.

How to survive the high incidence of the virus?

The following, no matter how busy, also want to see.

Upwelling vomiting and diarrhea occurred in many schools in Nanchang.

In recent days, some primary schools and kindergartens in Nanchang have had symptoms of children’s collective vomiting and diarrhea, and even many parents are worried about their children’s food poisoning. After investigation by the health and disease control department, they were verified as norovirus infection.

Experts from Nanchang CDC said that Norovirus infection has been at a high incidence in the near future, and it is very contagious. The virus is generally susceptible to people of all ages. In addition, the lack of long-term immunity after infection can lead to repeated infection. There are also many ways of infection, including fecal-oral route, contact with pollutants, aerosol air and so on.

Expert advice

Norovirus infection spreads rapidly, with vomiting in children and diarrhea in adults. The public need not worry too much. Although there is no vaccine at present, Norovirus diarrhea is a self-limited disease, which can usually heal itself in about a week. The key to prevention lies in personal hygiene, food hygiene and drinking water hygiene; Pay attention to hand hygiene, wash your hands before and after meals, and do not eat cold food; Keep indoor air circulation, and often open the window for ventilation.

There are more than 60 cluster epidemics of hand, foot and mouth disease.

It is reported that from the epidemic situation of legally reported infectious diseases in Jiangxi Province in July, August and September 2018 announced by the Provincial Health Planning Commission, hand, foot and mouth disease is in the top three among Class C infectious diseases (July and September are the first).

According to disease control experts, hand, foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a group of enteroviruses (Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus 71 are the most common), which mostly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the incidence rate is the highest under 3 years old. At the same time, it is also an eruptive disease, and the eruptive parts are mainly concentrated in the mouth, hands, feet and other parts, hence the name. But the disease is not as simple as a rash, and it is even serious about the child’s life. The disease is highly contagious, mainly through the digestive tract, respiratory tract and close contact.

Statistics from Nanchang CDC show that hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is high this year, and there are more than 60 cluster epidemics according to network monitoring. In November, the temperature and humidity meet the growth and reproduction of HFMD, and there is still a risk of transmission. Family protection is very important to prevent the delay.

Expert advice

Hand, foot and mouth disease is an intestinal infectious disease. At least 20 serotypes of group A enterovirus can cause hand, foot and mouth disease, and children vaccinated with EV71 vaccine may still be infected with other types of hand, foot and mouth disease. EV71 hand, foot and mouth disease has a high proportion of severe cases, which can be fatal. Vaccination with EV71 vaccine can effectively reduce the occurrence of severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. Parents should keep in mind the 15-word preventive formula: wash hands frequently, open windows frequently, drink boiled water, eat cooked food and dry clothes and quilts.

Experts remind that if there are children suffering from hand, foot and mouth disease and other children in the family, they should be kept in isolation, and it is best to live separately. During the illness, children should try to avoid going out, not to go to kindergartens and public places where people gather, and avoid contact with other children. The time limit for home isolation is one week after all symptoms disappear.

High incidence of tuberculosis in autumn and winter, long cough, don’t be a cold.

Last winter, a cluster epidemic of tuberculosis occurred in No.4 Middle School in Taojiang County, Hunan Province, which aroused widespread concern in society.

According to experts, tuberculosis is a contagious, chronic and slow-onset infectious disease. After tuberculosis infects the human body, it can form tuberculosis lesions in almost all human organs and tissues, but it is most common in the lungs. There are about 1.3 million new cases of tuberculosis in China every year, and 54,000 people die of tuberculosis every year.

According to experts in disease control, after the weather gets cold, there are always people who cough, and when they cough, they always feel that the improvement is very slow. People who cough don’t take it seriously, only think that it is caused by a common cold, and they are shocked by the seriousness of the matter until the condition develops seriously or the physical examination.

Experts explained that the increasing number of asymptomatic tuberculosis patients, mild and atypical initial symptoms of tuberculosis, and easy to be misdiagnosed as upper respiratory tract infections such as colds are the most important obstacles for school tuberculosis patients to delay diagnosis. According to the experts of disease control, if the tuberculosis patients have to be suspended from school for treatment during the infectious period, and they can go back to school to continue their studies after medical review, the process is generally 6-8 months or even longer.

Expert advice

The high-risk group of tuberculosis is a group with poor immune function. Secondly, irregular life and overwork are also high-risk groups of tuberculosis. Students in school often stay up late, lack of exercise and poor nutrition, which leads to decreased physical resistance, low immunity and easy infection and tuberculosis.

Experts remind that vaccination with BCG can effectively prevent tuberculosis; Patients with infectious tuberculosis should not go to public places, do not cough or talk to others at close range, and cover their nose and mouth with handkerchiefs when coughing or sneezing to avoid infecting others; Increase the frequency and time of window ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.
