Gone is the first peak of Bronchiolitis in Province

The number of cases is stable, unlike the growth recorded two weeks ago. Anyway, recommended to vaccinate children and take them to the doctor if any symptoms


The number of cases of bronchiolitis, after a peak recorded for two weeks,
currently stable in the territory of Buenos Aires, where last year were affected more than 125 000 children under two years.

The holder of the provincial health portfolio, Alexander Collie, reported that "after the first peak of bronchiolitis, recorded two weeks ago, the number of inmates declined and now are entering a plateau in terms of the number of cases" of this disease, which is the leading cause of death and postneonatal pediatric hospitalizations during the winter months.

However, the minister urged to consult the doctor at the first symptoms and not miss the opportunity to "vaccinate for free to all children up to 4 years
against influenza A H1N1, because this year the protection against diseases of winter combines the strategy of prevention of bronchiolitis and other respiratory infections with influenza immunization. "

The acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI), which include bronchiolitis (mostly motivated by the Respiratory Syncytial Virus), bronchitis and pneumonia are diseases diagnosed and treated in time can be managed without major upheavals.

The most common manifestations of LRTI are shortness of breath, sinking below the ribs, fever, wheezing, chest, irritability, cough, and rejection of food.
