Recently, the first class of a primary school in Binjiang District, Hangzhou Nine students were home because of fever, and the viruses were different. Influenza, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus were all found 。
The school stipulates that more than 5 students in the class should ask for leave due to illness Class segregation Therefore, the class began to be isolated yesterday (May 17). The whole class did not participate in the school's unified interest classes, group exercises between classes, and did not eat in the canteen. Only going to the toilet could get out, and it would also be disinfected separately after class.
Doctors from Hangzhou Children's Hospital said that at present, the outpatient service is mainly for children with respiratory tract infection, However, the proportion of children with adenovirus is on the rise 。 "Three or four of the 30 children were infected with adenovirus, an increase over the previous period, and the rest of the children were mainly due to pertussis, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus."
Q
How to judge whether the child has adenovirus?
A
If the child has a fever for 3-4 days and the temperature is above 39 ° C, it is likely to be adenovirus infection 。 The symptoms of infection with different subtypes of adenovirus will also be different, and some children may have diarrhea as the main symptom.
Q
Can persistent high fever caused by adenovirus cause pneumonia?
A
The majority of children with adenovirus infection had upper respiratory tract infection. Most of them are mild diseases, which will be significantly improved after treatment, and the rate of severe pneumonia is low.
Q
Can children infected with adenovirus infect adults?
A
It can infect adults, but adenovirus infection mainly occurs in children under 5 years old. Even if adults are infected, the symptoms are relatively mild, and the probability of severe cases is low.
What are adenoviruses
Infection symptoms?
Adenovirus is an important viral pathogen of human beings. Due to its various types, it can cause many diseases, such as respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. It may also cause viral hepatitis, meningitis, myocarditis and other diseases, which are relatively rare.
respiratory tract infection
Adenovirus is one of the most important pathogens of acute respiratory tract infection, which causes respiratory tract infection, and can lead to pneumonia in severe cases. The common clinical manifestations of patients with respiratory tract infection are Fever, cough, sore throat, tonsillitis And other symptoms.
Conjunctivitis
Adenovirus is also the main cause of conjunctivitis, which can cause acute keratoconjunctivitis, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis and other eye diseases. The clinical manifestations and severity vary according to the type.
Acute keratoconjunctivitis It can occur in all age groups. Inflammation can affect the conjunctiva and cornea, and in severe cases, it can lead to the formation of pseudomembrane and symblepharon; Pharyngo conjunctival fever It mostly occurs in teenagers, mainly showing fever, pharyngitis, acute follicular conjunctivitis and other symptoms; Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis It usually occurs in young adults aged 15-40 years, mainly manifested as redness and swelling of the eyelid, and hyperemia in the eyelid and bulbar conjunctiva.
Gastrointestinal Diseases
Adenoviruses can also cause gastroenteritis and other diseases, accounting for a relatively high proportion in the spectrum of diarrhea syndrome, second only to rotavirus and norovirus. It is commonly seen in children under 5 years old. People with gastrointestinal tract infection will have abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, fever and other symptoms.
There is no specific medicine at present
Don't blindly take antibiotics when you have a fever
At present, There are no specific antiviral drugs and treatments for adenovirus infected people in China 。 Many parents are worried when they see their children have a high fever, and even take out the antibiotics at home for their children to take. In fact, virus infection is different from bacterial infection. Antibiotics have no effect on virus infection. If the child is infected with adenovirus, antibiotics are ineffective.
For children infected with adenovirus, they can take antipyretic drugs appropriately, drink more water, have more rest, and take active care to reduce fever. For most children with normal immune function, mild adenovirus infection can generally heal itself Or take Chinese patent medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
Once children have severe symptoms such as persistent high fever, severe cough and shortness of breath, they should go to the hospital in time to actively cooperate with the treatment. Similarly, the elderly and adults with low immunity cannot relax their vigilance, If the fever does not subside, seek medical advice in time instead of carrying it 。
