Cold and Flu

There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in Mississippi. However, the specifics and counts of cases are no longer being tracked by CDC, WHO, the US states, and most other countries, now that the pandemic has been declared over. Influenza cases are monitored, but specific H1N1/09 counts (and the lab tests needed to isolate the specific virus to be able to count them correctly) aren't being done. Influenza cases in general are monitored, but statistics are not being kept for H1N1/09 cases separately from other influenza types for reporting any longer in the post pandemic phase.

162 Have been reported at Mississippi State University. 3 At Ole Miss, and 10 Probable cases pending.

the effects of a flu pandemic don't need to be lethal because the meaning of the word pandemic is that the disease is spreading fast on a global scale.

yes it can.

One reason we all get so many colds and influenza is that the viruses that cause these diseases are extremely easy to spread. This was as true in 1918 as it is in 2008. The big problem with the 1918 pandemic was the extreme virulence of that particular strain of virus.

Cold and flu viruses are thought to be spread by contact with respiratory droplets, either airborne through coughing or sneezing or transmission from kissing, surfaces, doorknobs, handshakes, and the like, then transferring the virus to your mucous membranes by touching your eyes, mouth or nose.

In 1918 the germ theory of disease was very well advanced. The medical practitioners of the day had a pretty good idea that droplets of ejecta from an infected person probably had a lot to do with the spread of respiratory illness. They also recognized that the virus could be spread from surfaces, used handkerchiefs, water glasses and so on. They did a good job of controlling as many of these factors as they could. For example, people went about wearing surgical masks, which did much to prevent the mask wearer from spreading viruses through coughing or sneezing.

About 30,000 confirmed cases, and about 150 deaths.

The Bird Flu affects the respiratory system. Respiratory Acute Syndrome is one of the common symptoms of Bird Flu. Acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) is a lung condition resulting in low oxygen levels in the blood. The human body's organs, for instance, the kidneys and the brain, lack enough oxygen to survive.

Influenza viruses attack the respiratory system. As they force the cells in the respiratory system to stop their usual function and make new viruses instead, your body notices the strain of the loss of those cells' function. Additionally, when the virus has been reproduced to the point of bursting open the cell, that death of the cell also causes respiratory symptoms. When the tissue is inflamed from infection and cell death, your lungs and mucous tissue begin to produce excess amounts of fluids and mucus to try to wash the invader out of your body. This excess drainage can tickle your throat and drip into your trachea and make you cough. Your lungs will also react with more fluid production which results in coughing, again, as a mechanism of forcing the pathogen from your body and protecting you from destruction of more respiratory system cells.

There are many possible causes to a toddler's frequent high fevers from mild to extremely serious. Any child suffering from fever should be taken to see their doctor as soon as possible.

Pnemoma is a common misspelling of pneumonia, which is defined as an abnormal inflammation of the lungs. This means a swelling of the alveoli (or lungs sacs) and is usually accompanied by these aveoli being filled with fluid. Pneumonia can be cause by a multitude of things, including virus, bacteria, fungi, etc..

Diabetics can frequently have peaks and crashes in blood sugar. Low blood sugar as well as high can cause a plethora of problems one of which being dizziness and disorientation. With a well regulated diet these shifts in blood sugar become less frequent.

Yes, your immune system is not as strong when you're stressed out and you are more vulnerable to getting sick. You are also more prone to headaches, muscle/back pain, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, sleep disorders etc. Relax, and you'll feel better!

Maybe Spain. Spanish Influenza.

Well, I know that the most important person who almost died of Spanish Influenza was Edward Cullen! Then Carlie turned him into a Vampire on Edwards mother's request!

Examples of antigens are poisons, splinters and microorganisms.

Inaccuracy

A person who is sick with the stomach flu is contagious for at least 3 days (and often 2 weeks) after symptoms have stopped. That means there are still stomach flu viruses present in your feces for at least 3 days after you have recovered. Ideally, you should stay home from work for 3 days. If this is not possible, you need to take extreme care not to spread your illness to others. Hand washing is very important. Don't touch anyone or anything without clean hands. If you work as a food service provider (restaurant or cafeteria worker) you MUST WAIT 72 hours before returning to work. Contagious food workers are often responsible for outbreaks of the stomach flu.

The stomach flu is really viral gastroenteritis. It is caused by a variety of different viruses and is unrelated to influenza (the real flu). The main symptoms are vomiting and/or diarrhea. When a person is sick with the stomach flu, the viruses that are causing their illness are present in their vomit and feces. Their vomit and feces contain millions of viruses. The illness is transmitted when a few of these viruses accidentally get into someone else's mouth.

Washing the viruses off your hands and body when you are sick is extremely important to avoid spreading the stomach flu. Particles of vomit can fly around the room when you are vomiting so cleaning sick room surfaces is also very important. The viruses can also live for weeks on surfaces so you must clean. Lysol disinfectant spray kills these viruses as does cleaning with a solution of 10% household bleach in water. Clorox wipes and Lysol wipes DO NOT kill these viruses.

A sick person is contagious (still producing viruses) for at least 3 days (often for 2 weeks) after their symptoms have stopped and they think they are well. Stay away from other people as much as possible while you are contagious. Keep young children home from day care or preschool for 3 days after they have recovered from a vomiting illness to avoid starting an outbreak at your school. If you work as a food service provider (cafeteria restaurant worker), do not return to work for 3 days to avoid starting an outbreak.

No, they are different infectious diseases of the respiratory system. However, they can be associated since bronchitis and pneumonia are common complications of influenza. Influenza is caused only by influenza viruses, but bronchial pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory infections can also be caused by other infectious agents such as bacteria and fungi.

According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, "Pertussis (whooping cough) is a very contagious disease caused by a type of bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. This is one of the most common vaccine-preventable childhood diseases in the U.S. It's important to remember that both children and adults can get pertussis. Since the 1980s, there's been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis, especially among teens (10-19 years of age) and babies less than 5 months of age. In 2005, there were more than 25,000 total reported cases.

yes because it could come more than one time and it's a kind of disease which sometimes return.

The real question is not can the spanish flu return, but when.

What is above is not pessimistic, scientists consider this phenomenon as a normal evolution.

That information is no longer being kept or made available. The counts of cases of H1N1/09 is no longer done. Testing is not often done to determine the type of flu and states are no longer required to report separate counts of H1N1 flu infections to the CDC in the US. Most, if not all, countries are no longer keeping counts of cases of H1N1/09, but monitoring of the total incidences of flu during the flu season is still continuing.

-i think just sugar alcohol that is non addictive - its probably better to ask a doctor because the back of my cough drop package(over the counter menthol cough drops) say for under 3 years ask a doctor, so there may be some type of alchohal in it.
