There are sporadic cases of haemorrhagic fever! Luoyang CDC issued a reminder

Recently, Shaanxi has reported a continuous increase in local confirmed cases, and at the time of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Xi'an has reported a number of patients with hemorrhagic fever, and the overall prevention and control situation is complex and severe. "This year, Luoyang also has sporadic cases of blood fever, mainly distributed in mountain villages in the southwest region of our city, but it also needs attention." On the 20th, the Luoyang Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a relevant reminder.

What is hemorrhagic fever? Zhu Xin, an infectious disease prevention and control expert at the Luoyang Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that hemorrhagic fever, also known as renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever, is a natural epidemic disease transmitted by rats (haddock rats and brown rats) and caused by hantavirus, and is clinically characterized by fever, bleeding and kidney damage. The disease is acute, severe, rapid, costly, and has a high case fatality rate.

"Haemorrhagic fever is a common infectious disease in the north and is generally not transmitted from person to person, mainly through contact after contamination with rodent secretions or excrement, so there is no large-scale leapfrog infection." Zhu Xin said that in fact, this summer, because of heavy precipitation, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has also issued a reminder of hemorrhagic fever, after the flood disaster, a large number of rats migrate to the highlands, which will also lead to the spread of corresponding diseases, such as leptospirosis, renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever and so on.

According to the xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, xi'an has been a peak city for the incidence of hemorrhagic fever since the first case of hemorrhagic fever was discovered, and the main source of infection was haddock rats. So, has there ever been a case of hemorrhagic fever in Luoyang? What is the incidence?

For the Internet rumor that "eating strawberries will lead to bleeding fever", Zhu Xin said that hemorrhagic fever is not directly related to eating strawberries, "the source of infection of hemorrhagic fever is rats, bitten by rats, or mistakenly eat food and water that rats crawl over, and come into contact with the blood, urine, feces, etc. of mice with viruses, which may be infected with hemorrhagic fever." ”

For hemorrhagic fever, the Luoyang Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention also issued relevant reminders:

First, do not carry professional equipment, try not to sit on the wild grassland, camping. Outdoor personnel try to wear long-sleeved pants and outdoor shoes that do not show their toes to prevent being bitten by rats or contacting the excrement and secretions of rats.

Second, do not put the food you are eating naked, so as not to attract rats. Don't eat at unhygienic eateries.

Third, keep the living place environment clean and hygienic, and clean up the garbage in time to reduce the food, hidden places and breeding places of rats. When cleaning up clutter and waste, wear masks, hats, gloves, etc.

Fourth, once the fever, muscle pain, skin bleeding points and other symptoms should be timely to the regular medical institutions for diagnosis and treatment.
