This disease is accompanied by fever and cumulative characteristic symptoms that affect central nervous, muscle and cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, kidneys, liver and some other organs. They are all pretty specific, so they can be considered as separate diseases. But the peak of morbidity falls on summer hot months. Our site will help to figure out who most often suffers from this ailment, as well as what the feature of this infection.
What is enterovirus infection?
Very often, enterovirus infection is manifested in patients in different ways - the disease has a wide variety of symptoms that are capable of not helping the doctor with a diagnosis installation, but on the contrary, confuse it. This infection refers to anthroponosis. It is worth noting that enteroviruses in nature have two tanks - this is directly a person (capable of accumulating and propagating the virus itself) and an external environment (which «Helps» Survive a virus in soil, water, products and t.D.) Flashing diseases occur when a person falls on the habitat «Enterovirus pollution». Basically, it is infected water and food products.
There is also a vertical path of infection of a person - a very high risk to infective congenital enterovirus infection in the kid, whose mother has a persistent form of this disease. It is the congenital enterovirus most often leads to SVDS (sudden childhood syndrome).
The source of infection is a virus monitor or a sick person. Currently, two transmission mechanisms are indicated - this is air-drip and fecal-oral. Children are mostly enteryovirus, but often young people. As for the season, the peak of morbidity falls for the summer and autumn. Doctors note that after transferring enterovirus a persistent immunity for several years.
Important! Enterovirus lack specific symptoms.
There are two classes enteroviruses - these are polyoviruses (the so-called «Wild virus», which is currently considered eliminated) and non-combators.
On average, the incubation period of enterovirus infection takes from three to the best days. What is noteworthy, about 90% of all cases of the disease are absolutely asymptomatic. Sometimes there is an increase in temperature. And this is despite the fact that this virus can multiply in any organ, in any fabrics.
Currently, this disease is in second place, as the cause of ARVI.
Specialists share diseases that are caused by enteroviruses, into two groups - severe diseases and less severe.
Heavy include: meningitis and encephalitis, paralysis, myocarditis, pericarditis, septic-like diseases, hepatitis, immunodeficiency infection. The least dangerous include: fever, rash, gherpina, pharyngitis, pleurodinia, conjunctivitis, Gastroenteritis, Uveitu.
To diagnose the disease, it is necessary to contact a specialized medical institution, as the exact diagnosis can be delivered only after thorough clinical studies.
Types and manifestations of enterovirus.
Specific treatment of enterovirus infection is not developed. Using common antiviral agents in a complex with narrow-profile drugs designed to suppress certain symptoms, depending on which form of enterovirus infection in humans.
Good reviews received interferon used to prevent viruses and viral infections. This group of medicinal compounds refers to low molecular weight glycoproteins, which allows you to force the cells to work for recovery. Also as antiviral tools are used alpha interferons.
In addition to these drugs, immunoglobulins are used. Especially if we are talking about meningoencephalitis. The use of capsidlying drugs is widely used as etiotropic.
Prevention of enterovirus infection
Some strict and specific prophylaxis of enterovirus is currently not developed. As for non-specific prophylaxis, then children who are in contact with the sick, or directly in the area of morbidity, it is necessary to bury interferon (leukocytar) into the nose at least four times a day for a week. Also good protective action is able to provide immunoglobulin. Its dose should be about 0.2 ml / kg, in / m.
