“Of the 4 suspected samples of the new hepatitis examined, there is one that is very likely to be from this disease. There is a child who meets the description of the symptoms, he is feeling well and I guess he has already been discharged.” This was stated by the director of NCIPD Prof. Iva Hristova for “Your day” on NOVA NEWS.
Regarding the monkeypox, she was adamant that there were no detected cases of monkeypox in our country, but it is very likely that they will occur. “Blood is being tested and Real time PCR is being done. It is a disease that has been present in West and Central Africa and has been sporadically transmitted to Europe. What is new is that there is something like an epidemic,” he said.
According to her, there are over 80 cases in the world, as well as 50 suspicious ones. “We don’t have direct flights from Africa, so the danger can’t come directly. The measles starts with fever, back and back pain and pimples with a bubble of clear fluid that turns into pus. Once there are sores,” she explained. He added that monkeypox can be transmitted through body fluids or underwear.
Regarding Omicron, Prof. Hristova explained that the fifth sub-option gives a 12-13% increase in cases. “It could give a not-so-steep reduction in cases,” she said. He added that there will probably be an increase in cases in the autumn, but only if there is a new sub-option.
