What are the common infectious diseases in spring

Spring is the season with a high incidence of infectious diseases. Because the temperature difference in spring is too large, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, the spread and reproduction of bacteria are very fast, especially for people with poor immunity, such as children and the elderly, who are particularly susceptible to some infectious diseases. What are the infectious diseases? Let's take a look at the infectious diseases in spring.

Influenza (influenza) Influenza, commonly known as flu, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus. It is highly contagious, with its incidence ranking first among infectious diseases, and its incubation period is 1-3 days. The main symptoms include fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, and body muscle and joint pain. The fever usually lasts for 3-4 days and may also manifest as severe pneumonia or gastrointestinal influenza. The main source of infection is patients and latently infected persons during the infectious period.

Meningococcal meningitis (epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis) is abbreviated as meningococcal meningitis, an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis. It is highly contagious, and the early stages of meningococcal disease are similar to those of a cold, with symptoms such as runny nose, cough, headache, and fever. When the bacteria enter the cerebrospinal fluid, the headache will be aggravated by drowsiness, neck stiffness, projectile vomiting, coma, shock and other critical symptoms. The main source of infection is patients or carriers. Way: Direct transmission through airborne droplets. The incubation period is similar.

Three days before the rash appears, a fever of about 38 degrees appears, accompanied by cough, runny nose, tearing, photophobia, and grayish white spots appear on the buccal mucosa (characteristics); the rash period is 3 days: on the 4th-5th day of the disease, the body temperature rises to about 40 degrees, and red maculopapular rashes start from the head and gradually spread to the trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs; the recovery period is 3 days.

Infectious diseases are the most common in spring, and the above are the most frequent infectious diseases. In fact, we can prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. Try to avoid going to crowded places in daily life, cut off the transmission channels as much as possible, exercise appropriately, enhance your own immunity, and have a good body.
