Flow encephalitis is the abbreviation of meningococcal meningitis,
It is a respiratory infectious disease that mostly occurs in spring.
The peak period of incidence is February ~ May.
Since the year,
Although no cases have been reported in Hulunbuir,
But the temperature changes greatly in spring,
Parents and children must be vigilant,
Pay attention to keep warm, enhance resistance,
Get vaccinated in time and prevent early!
From the 30s of the 20th century to the present, there have been five national epidemics (1938, 1949, 1959, 1967, 1977), of which the epidemic in 1967 was the most serious. With the inclusion of MPV-A and MPV-AC in the national immunization program and their widespread use, the incidence and mortality of encephalopathy in China have been decreasing year by year.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
By 2030, end deaths from preventable diseases among newborns and children under 5 years of age.
World Health Organization: Defeat meningitis and achieve a meningitis-free world by 2030
01 Meningitis is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord that is caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Bacterial meningitis is the most common and dangerous type of meningitis, and the common pathogenic bacteria are: meningococcal, pneumococcus, haemophilus influenzae, etc. An acute purulent central nervous system infection caused by meningococcal bacteria is called meningococcal meningitis (cerebral flow) and can be transmitted directly through coughing and sneezing, with babies under one year of age being the main target.
02 Once the cerebral flu is infected, the onset is acute, the progression is rapid, and the disability rate is high, and the fulminant type can be life-threatening within 6-24 hours if not treated in time. With the application of antibiotics and the improvement of medical treatment, deaths and serious sequelae have been greatly reduced, but there are still a small number of sick children who will be left with intellectual disability and hearing loss, which seriously endangers children's health.
!! when the child has the following conditions, you must not be careless, and you must go to the hospital in time for active treatment.
(1) High fever, severe headache, vomiting or nausea
(2) Confusion/difficulty concentrating
(3) Seizures
(4) Drowsiness or difficulty waking up
(5) 脖子僵硬
(6) Paralysis and other manifestations similar to stroke
03 How to prevent cerebral flow?
1. Vaccinate against encephalitis
At present, the most important way to prevent encephalitis is to vaccinate against encephalopathy, and the more pathogenic serogroups covered by the vaccine, the wider the scope of protection. At this stage, there are both free national immunization programme vaccines and non-immunization programme vaccine options that are voluntarily administered at their own expense.
1. Free cerebral flu vaccineAccording to the "National Immunization Program Vaccine Children's Immunization Procedures and Instructions (2021 Edition)", school-age children are vaccinated with group A cerebral polysaccharide vaccine at the age of 6 and 9 months, and booster vaccination with A+C cerebral polysaccharide vaccine at the age of 3 and 6 years old, all of which are free immunization program vaccines.
2. There are currently a variety of non-immunization program vaccines that are voluntarily administered at their own expense, namely AC conjugate vaccine, ACYW135 group cerebral polysaccharide vaccine, and ACYW135 group cerebral polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, and parents can choose to vaccinate their children with informed consent and voluntary self-payment.
2. Other measures
In addition to vaccination, other hygiene measures are equally important as children grow up, including developing good habits of life and hygiene, exercising, working on time, getting enough sleep, and eating a reasonable diet to improve the body's ability to resist diseases. Early detection and treatment can alleviate symptoms and avoid serious health damage.
