At present, the outpatient clinic is still dominated by children with respiratory tract infections, but there is an upward trend in children with adenovirus. "Three or four of the 30 children were infected with adenovirus, an increase from some time ago, and the rest of the children were mainly treated with whooping cough, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus."
Director Li mentioned that if the child has a fever for 3-4 days and the temperature is above 39°C, it is likely to be an adenovirus infection. Symptoms of different strains of adenovirus may vary, and some children may have diarrhea as the main symptom.
What is an adenovirus?
Doctor's introduction,
Adenovirus is a common respiratory virus,
It is known to infect humans
There are more than 50 types of adenoviruses.
Adenovirus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, and the child's immunity is weak, so there may be cases where one person in the class is infected and transmitted to several children. If the child is diagnosed with adenovirus infection, it is recommended to take leave to recuperate at home to avoid cross-infection among classmates; It is recommended that the child's body temperature be normal for 48 hours and the virus antigen will turn negative before returning to school.
After your child is infected with adenovirus
Can it be transmitted to adults?
"It can be transmitted to adults, but adenovirus infection is prevalent in children under 5 years old. Even if an adult is infected, the symptoms are relatively mild, and the rate of severe disease is low. ”
Can persistent high fever cause pneumonia?
The doctor said that the clinical manifestations of adenovirus are mainly fever, which lasts for a long time, often a high fever that lasts for more than 3 days. If the child persists in high fever, it is recommended to take a chest X-ray to further clarify.
"Parents don't need to worry too much, most children with adenovirus infection are mainly infected with upper respiratory tract. Most of the cases are mild, but they will improve significantly after treatment, and the rate of severe pneumonia is low. Director Li said.
It is reported that
At present, there is no specific drug treatment for adenovirus infection.
Symptomatic treatment is the mainstay.
For most immunocompetent children, adenovirus infection is self-limiting, and mild cases generally resolve spontaneously without special treatment; If the disease worsens and develops adenovirus pneumonia, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
Director Li reminded that after being infected with adenovirus, it is important for children to rest well, so as to improve immunity and promote early recovery from the disease. In general, the incubation period of adenovirus is 3-10 days, with an average of 1 week. If the child comes into contact with an infected classmate, it is recommended to observe for a period of time, wash hands frequently, ventilate frequently, pay attention to rest, and do a good job of daily protection.
How can I protect myself from the virus?
Doctors remind that it is important to maintain a balanced and comprehensive nutritional intake for your child, ensure adequate sleep and appropriate exercise, and improve your child's immunity. At the same time, do a good job of personal protection, try not to take your children to crowded places, wash your hands frequently, ventilate more, wear masks, and reduce contact with classmates infected by adenovirus.
