[NOWnews今日新聞] Multiple epidemics such as “Mycoplasma pneumonia” (Mycoplasma pneumoniae), influenza, adenovirus, and COVID-19 have recently broken out in many places in China. The combined effects have made children the “hardest hit area.” Pediatric outpatient clinics in many hospitals are full. Now even The number of adults with fever continues to increase.
According to Chinese media reports, the simultaneous spread of multiple pathogens is one of the causes of this wave of respiratory epidemics in China. At the press conference of the National Health Commission on the 26th, Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the main pathogens prevalent in different age groups are different. For example, influenza viruses and rhinoviruses are dominant among those aged 0-4; those aged 5-14 In the 15-59 year old group, influenza virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and adenovirus are the main viruses; in the 15-59 year old group, influenza virus, rhinovirus, and new coronavirus are the main viruses; in the 60-year-old group, influenza virus, human metapneumovirus, and general coronavirus are the main viruses. host.
Among them, influenza is the main reason for the sudden increase in hospital emergency department pressure. In addition to children, the number of adult fever clinics and emergency internal medicine consultations in many hospitals has also increased significantly. Ms. Zhao, who lives in Shanghai, claimed: “It takes 2 hours to wait for the flu test report. Some people are not in a hurry, so they argue with the doctor and say that they have been having a fever and have pneumonia. But after waiting for a long time, they still didn’t get it.”
The report pointed out that the fever hotspot clinics of Qingchun Campus and Qiantang Campus of Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou both receive 400-500 patients per day, and the number of fever clinics during peak hours is 100 patients per day. It is 4 or 5 times that of the original.
Dai Jianying, director of emergency nursing at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Chinese Medicine, also located in Hangzhou, said that the number of fever clinics in the hospital is increasing day by day, and the number of adult patients alone has exceeded 100 per day, which is more than 3 or 4 times compared with normal years. Judging from age, others include new coronavirus infection, mycoplasma pneumonia, etc. Judging from symptoms, high fever is more common, but most of them are mild.
Local medical experts reminded that we have now entered the epidemic period of various pathogens, which has increased the risk of “cross-infection” in environmental congestion and crowded places, and we must pay more attention to protection. Some people’s coughs and fevers had subsided, but they stood in line when they returned to the hospital. On the second day, they had a fever again, and only after a checkup did they find out that they had contracted influenza A.
