    ■ Detailed norovirus

    Highly contagious, easily crowded places outbreak

    Norovirus, the term in everyday life people do not often hear, however, the virus is not a new virus. Huang, director of the U.S. first, Hangzhou First People's Hospital of Infectious Diseases, told reporters, as early as 20 years ago, the United States has found that the virus, while China's first case of the virus-infected persons are also to be found in 1995.
    "Norovirus is highly contagious, like a virus through contaminated food and water." Huang Mei first say that for people with normal immune function, less likely to be infected with this virus, but for crowded places or resistance to the elderly and poor children, it is easier on the infection, so often norovirus in the community, schools, restaurants, hospitals, nurseries, etc. solitary homes and caused mass outbreaks of the army.

    Wong said the United States first in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there are a lot of people love raw seafood, adding that as long as the height of the wine, ginger, vinegar can be sterilized for seafood, in fact, that argument is unscientific, "You could say, raw food is unsafe, once the foods contain bacteria or viruses, then people can easily be infected.

    "Therefore, he suggested people eat cooked food is best.

    Treatment of gastrointestinal secretions of infected persons need to wear a mask when

    Although Norovirus is a gastrointestinal virus, but it is also possible to spread through the respiratory tract.

    Huang Mei first say, say there is a research-based, "the United States has for norovirus conducted a study and found that the virus could by aerosol spread, simply put, is attached to the suspended in the air particulate matter certain size, the Then enter the body through the respiratory tract, causing human virus. "

    The results of this study found that, for prevention of norovirus hospital provides a new standard "in dealing with norovirus gastrointestinal secretions of infected persons, you need to wear a mask to prevent infection by the virus." Said Wong Mei first, Most norovirus infections are mild, basically not hospitalized, so the family after going to the toilet in the infected person, the best disinfectant for defecation is simple, of course, this process is also best to wear a mask.

    In addition, Huang also reminded the public that the United States first, when diarrhea occurs, it is best to go to hospital for medical treatment, do not blindly use at home, antibiotics and other drugs, because some diarrhea is caused by a virus, such as norovirus, you need antiviral treatment, and some diarrhea due to bacteria: for example dysentery, need anti-bacterial treatment, without finding out the cause of self-medication, not only can not cure the patient, but also delay the disease.
