These diseases are prone to overlapping infections, and some people have already been infected! Disease control in many places have spoken out one after another

The weather is getting colder, but autumn is still here

Sore throat, sore throat, cough, fever, cold...

All come to the door

Some hospitals' pediatric departments are already overcrowded

In addition to mycoplasma pneumonia infection, influenza

It also includes bacterial infection, norovirus infection, etc.

Experts advise

Need to be vigilant about Mycoplasma pneumoniae and other respiratory pathogens such as influenza

Superimposed infection

According to media reports, there have been

Cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection superimposed on influenza

Ge Yongxiang, chief physician of the infectious diseases department, reminds:

People currently seeking medical attention for respiratory tract infection

Most of them are middle-aged and young people, students and children

Main symptoms:

Fever, dry throat, sore throat

Some patients have body aches, nasal congestion and runny nose.

Some people experience cough, mainly dry cough

Most people are infected in group gatherings.

For example: being infected after attending a party or dinner, or there being a sick classmate among the classmates in the class, followed by other students being infected one after another.

Which diseases are prone to superimposed infection?

According to "Healthy Haidian", mycoplasma infection, influenza A and new coronavirus infection are prone to superimposed infections. Respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus , and other pathogens are also prone to superimposed infections. Among them, superimposed infections of two viruses and superimposed infections of viruses and bacteria, mycoplasma, and chlamydia are more common.

There are two types of superimposed infection:

Simultaneous superinfection: Some people are infected with influenza A virus and mycoplasma at the same time.

Successive superimposed infections: the patient was first infected with influenza A virus, and after a period of time, he was infected with mycoplasma.

Populations susceptible to superinfection

People with low immunity, impaired immunity, long-term hormone use, and chronic diseases ;

People who have unhealthy work and rest habits, stay up late for a long time , and are often overly tired are more likely to have superimposed infections. Some people are infected with a pathogen in the early stage, but they did not receive timely treatment or formal treatment. Delayed diagnosis and treatment led to worsening of the disease , which led to superimposed infections.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is prevalent in my country this year. Will the superimposed infection make the upcoming influenza more severe?

Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for influenza. After superimposed infections occur, the influenza prevention and control situation becomes more severe, treatment becomes more difficult, symptoms become more severe, treatment courses become longer, and the spread becomes wider.

How to prevent influenza superinfection?

First, reduce gatherings. Especially during the flu season, try to avoid going to crowded places and avoid contact with patients with respiratory infections.

Second, maintain good hygiene habits. Keep your hands clean as much as possible. Wash your hands in time before eating and drinking, after going to the toilet, and after touching public facilities in public places. Also, cover your mouth and nose with tissues or towels when coughing or sneezing.

Third, rooms and offices should be ventilated regularly to maintain air circulation, reduce the concentration of pathogens, and reduce the chance of infection or superimposed infection.

Fourth, pay attention to keeping warm. Add or remove clothes in time according to weather changes, and avoid getting cold, which will lead to decreased immunity and easy secondary viral infection and superimposed infection.

Fifth, maintain a regular work and rest schedule and avoid excessive fatigue. Excessive fatigue will reduce the body's immunity, leading to various opportunistic pathogen infections, creating a vicious cycle of further reduced body immunity.

Disease control agencies in many places remind: Wearing a mask is essential!

"The incidence has increased significantly, and we are about to enter the epidemic period." Recently, disease control centers in Changchun, Jilin, Handan, Hebei, Xiamen, Fujian, and other places have issued influenza epidemic warnings, emphasizing the wearing of masks. This winter and next spring, there is a risk of cross-epidemic or co-epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases in my country.

Map by Health Times

Feng Luzhao, vice president of the School of Population Medicine and Public Health at Peking Union Medical College, believes that the trend of influenza epidemic this winter should not be underestimated. At present, Beijing has entered the influenza epidemic period, with the highest number of cases reported for three consecutive weeks. If you have symptoms of influenza or respiratory infection, you must seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment. Correct treatment and recovery as soon as possible are also important parts of preventing superimposed infections.
