A Thai woman rests after being vaccinated against Covid-19. The above decision was made at a meeting of Bangkok’s Communicable Diseases Committee on May 31. The commission said the reopening was intended to ease the burden on business by allowing it to operate under strict conditions. The Thai government’s efforts to control the outbreak of Covid-19 in residential communities, markets and worker housing are continuing. Five types of businesses are allowed to reopen in Bangkok from June 1 including: museums, learning centers, science parks, historical sites and art galleries (no group tours). ; tattoo parlors and nail salons (must close for 14 days if any Covid-19 cases are detected); beauty/weight loss clinics and services; spas, massage parlors and wellness-related locations (no saunas or facials); and public parks, botanical gardens and flower gardens (no eating or gathering). Other businesses in Bangkok will remain closed until June 14. On May 31, Thailand recorded a record high of 5,485 new cases of Covid-19 within 24 hours, bringing the total number of infections so far to 159,792. The whole country recorded 19 more deaths from Covid-19, bringing the total number of people who did not die from this disease to 1,031. Bangkok continues to lead the list of localities with new cases, with 1,356 cases recorded on May 31. (according to VNA)

The Philippines is famous for its beautiful islands and beaches. The proposal came after a task force on infectious diseases in the Philippines asked stakeholders to learn about the process of receiving international guests who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. If the “green corridor” is approved, eligible international visitors will be allowed to enter the Philippines for tourism and resort purposes, in the context of quarantine rules being relaxed in many other countries. DOT is monitoring neighboring markets on how to reopen international travel. Specifically, for fully vaccinated people, the quarantine period will be reduced from 10 days to 7 days in Thailand, or from 21 days to 7 days in Hong Kong (China). Meanwhile, the Philippines is requiring travelers to quarantine for 10 days and 4 days at home, along with an RT-PCR test on the seventh day of isolation. “We must catch up with our neighbors and the rest of the world in gradually reopening tourist attractions. The Philippines should be ready, before international tourism in the world resumes,” Ms. Bernadette said. Romulo-Puyat added.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visits the vaccine research and production laboratory of the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung A representative of the Military Medical Academy said that it has successfully researched and manufactured a test kit to detect the new strain of corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time RT-PCR method, used at more than 100 facilities. healthcare throughout the country and exported to 18 countries around the world. Continuing to research and successfully manufacture Amphabio PCR test kits with the ability to test quickly and in large quantities at the same time, which is currently being used effectively in Bac Giang province. Notably, the Academy has been trusted by the Ministry of Health to carry out phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19 (from December 2020) and both are generating antibodies. It is expected that from June 2021, there will be a phase 3 clinical trial, deploying over 13,000 volunteers 18 years of age or older. In addition, the Academy has mobilized staff to support the prevention and control of Covid-19 in Quang Nam, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Laos. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited and worked at the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung Speaking at the meeting, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue highly appreciated the efforts and achievements that the Military Medical Academy has achieved during 72 years of construction and growth, which has received the most noble achievements of the Party. , state and military. In particular, in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Military Medical Academy is one of the active, active and effective participating units. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in the current period, the task of effective disease prevention is the focus in the implementation of “dual duty”, so vaccines are an important “weapon”, strategic, decisive issues to end and conquer disease. “The XIII Congress of the Party has set a key task of focusing on controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, mass vaccination of the community with Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, the Military Medical Academy closely coordinates with other agencies. Relevant ministries and sectors urgently speed up the phase 3 clinical trial of the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19, striving for early results to have a preventive vaccine for the community” – National Assembly Chairman assigned. The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that the Military Medical Academy should identify challenges such as, there are many domestic and foreign facilities focusing on research and production of vaccines. Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue analyzed that if there is no superior vaccine in terms of quality, price and supply quantity, it will fall into an opportunity trap. A number of vaccine products have been born and put into circulation in countries, along with rigorous testing by the health systems of countries, approved by WHO. However, there is currently a vaccine that has shown its effectiveness compared to the new variant; There are scenarios of monopolistic production, imposing price and quantity, but also opportunities for technology transfer in the direction of humane sharing. “So, the Military Medical Academy to research and produce vaccines, it is necessary to have the shortest time of antibodies, the shortest number of days, the better. The side effects must be minimized, especially for people with underlying diseases. and weak health. Having the ability to resist and adapt to new variants of the virus,” suggested the National Assembly Chairman. At the meeting, the Military Medical Academy proposed to allow the Academy to organize the implementation of the project “Research and Development Center for Human Infectious Diseases” which was approved by the Prime Minister at the government office. Document No. 164 dated December 31, 2020 of the Government Office, which is expected to have a number of functions and tasks such as research on pathogens, development and production of biological products for detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. treating infectious diseases, especially dangerous and extremely dangerous diseases, contributing to protecting the health of soldiers and people, especially in emergency and disaster situations. Researching foundational technologies in development, technology transfer and production of vaccines against infectious diseases, especially dangerous and dangerous infectious diseases. Agreeing with the proposal of the Military Medical Academy, National Assembly Chairwoman Vuong Dinh Hue suggested, the Academy needs a state-level scientific research program and emergency approval to research and test. production of vaccines for human infectious diseases. The Ministry of National Defense shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with relevant agencies in, facilitating and directing the Military Medical Academy to accelerate the implementation of the project “Research and development center for human infectious diseases vaccines” under the theme of: Government policy. Also this afternoon, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited the vaccine research and production laboratory at the Military Medicine Research Center building, under the Military Medical Academy. The National Assembly Chairman graciously encouraged the forces directly involved in research, production and volunteers to test the Covid-19 vaccine.

The South Korean government will come up with a plan to support vaccines for North Korea after comprehensively reviewing the domestic vaccine supply situation and the consensus of the people. Illustration. Earlier, at a press conference on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed that he will expedite the supply of vaccines to North Korea, emphasizing that South Korea will become a “global vaccine production center”. , contributing to the fight against Covid-19. According to President Moon Jae-in, the Covid-19 vaccine needs to be distributed fairly to low-income countries so that the whole world can escape the Covid-19 pandemic. As South Korea plays the role of a global vaccine production hub, North Korea is of course also subject to cooperation. If North Korea agrees, Seoul will actively promote cooperation in providing vaccines to Pyongyang. President Moon Jae-in said the United States also supports humanitarian assistance to North Korea.

(Photo: AP) However, the FDA also emphasized that each country’s approach may vary, so it does not recommend any approach to the United States to deal with new infectious diseases that will emerge. The above report introduces Korea’s approach to the COVID-19 epidemic, based on lessons learned from the Middle East Acute Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in 2015, detailing the Korea’s efforts to deal with infectious diseases. The report indicates that the Seoul Government has invested heavily in the commercial use of infectious disease diagnostic technology, which has helped Korean private enterprises develop and rapidly produce testing equipment. In addition, South Korea followed the US, applying an “emergency use authorization” (EUA) regime for COVID-19 diagnosis. The Korean justice agency has revised the law, so that the authorities have the right to collect information about patients and people suspected of having infectious diseases in critical situations. Along with that, measures such as mandatory wearing of masks, social distancing, stopping some business activities, and effective exchange strategies, have helped South Korea contain the wave of COVID-19 spread. On the other hand, according to the ranking of resilience from the COVID-19 epidemic (Covid Resilience Ranking) published by Bloomberg (USA) every month, South Korea ranked 5th out of 53 assessed countries, an increase of one place compared to the previous year. with April. Korea’s highest ranking was 4th in November last year.

Disease – The most dangerous enemy: An extremely practical book by two authors Michael T. Osterholm and Mark Olshaker. This is a work written on infectious diseases and pandemics in today’s era from the perspective of epidemiologists, synthesized from the process of observing and studying pandemics, as well as the development of policies. book against prominent modern public health problems. With 21 chapters presented in a fairly brief manner, always focusing on the most dangerous enemies, with a way of exploiting information related to that dangerous enemy with classic questions: Who ( who), What (what), When (when), Where (where), and Why (why) and the word How (how). The authors lead us as detectives investigate a case throughout more than 400 pages of books, by learning about the typical epidemics that have affected humanity throughout history to the present day. such as the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the plague in London, the SARS epidemic in Vietnam and Southeast Asian countries with the most urgent risks and challenges, thereby proposing measures that can solve these problems. problems of humanity. Origins of Diseases – Animals, Humans and the Next Global Pandemic: Is a masterpiece that attracts the world’s media by author David Quammen, providing a scientific perspective on pathogens that cause diseases in animals, and sometimes transmitted to humans. In the book, the author weaves a special story, a detective novel with different but also very real killers. They are viruses, bacteria and protozoa that cause disease in animals, but sometimes, they change their target and jump to humans. The emergence of zoonotic diseases – pathogens that reach us from other species – is nothing new but is on the rise, and Quammen seeks to find the reasons behind this phenomenon. the same image in the final chapter of the book: the huge human population, along with the enormous amount of livestock, the destruction of natural habitats, the disrupted ecosystems – things that are absolutely possible. can turn into a debate about nature’s revenge on humanity. Immune system – Discover the body’s self-healing mechanism: In the book Immune system , leading immunologist Daniel M.Davis has likened that, studying the immune system in the human body is like studying the stars and galaxies in our universe. The author gives us an overview of the big picture of the immune system, along with stories about the journey to discover pieces of that picture. The book is divided into two parts. The first part explains the basic concepts of resistance, and tells the journey to explore the cells and complex mechanisms in the immune system. The second part discusses modern research on how different agents affect our immune system. Diagnosis of Covid-19 with Eastern and Western medicine: The book gives readers a first-hand view of the disease by approaching the disease from many aspects, including: clinical features, incubation and disease mechanisms, source and mode of transmission, criteria and diagnostic procedures. diagnosis and progression of the disease worldwide. According to the two authors, the highlight of Western medicine is the treatment with antiviral drugs and antibiotics, immunotherapy drugs, drugs that modulate the intestinal ecosystem, the use of plasma from already healthy patients, the application of Continuous extra-renal dialysis… However, the book also highlights the advantages of Oriental medicine in the way of prevention, diagnosis and recovery, based on the author’s practical experience when working in field hospitals and other medical institutions. Clinical research on oriental medicine. From detailed advice on living habits, herbal remedies combined with acupressure or acupuncture to gentle exercises, all of which help “prevent disease even when there is no disease, support qi to ward off disease”. Guns, Germs and Steel – The Destiny of Human Societies : The work won the Pulitzer Prize. This is a classic book about 13,000 years of human development. The book explains how Eurasian civilizations (including North Africa) survived and conquered other civilizations, while disproving theories of the domination of other civilizations. Eurasian civilization was based on intellectual, moral or genetic superiority. Jared Diamond argues that differences in power and technology between human societies are rooted in environmental differences, in which this difference is magnified. Thereby, he explains why Western Europe, not other civilizations in the Eurasian world like China, became the dominant forces. Although this book is ultimately about history and prehistory, its subject matter is not only of academic value but also of great practical and political importance. The history of interactions between different peoples is what has shaped the modern world through conquest, infectious disease, and genocide. Those conflicts produced lasting effects that, after centuries, are still actively ongoing in some of the world’s most problematic regions today.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change do not occur at the same time, both crises have similarities. COVID-19 and climate change both cause significant loss of life COVID-19 is known to particularly impact the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, causing severe respiratory illness. Climate change affects all health-related factors such as air quality, drinking water, food supplies and shelter. Climate change is expected to cause an additional 250,000 deaths annually between 2030 and 2050. COVID-19 has claimed the lives of 2.3 million people worldwide since the pandemic began. COVID-19 and climate change highlight the gap between rich and poor Both the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change are known to impact certain demographic groups. Studies have shown that the vulnerable and disadvantaged pay more in both crises, with the poor suffering more from the impacts of climate change and the pandemic than the rich. There has long been a disparity between the poor and the rich in terms of health care. Pandemics and climate change highlight these disparities. Putting the worldwide healthcare system in crisis Ultimately, both crises pushed regional healthcare systems around the world to the limit. Climate change and COVID-19 have resulted in large numbers of people being hospitalized, forcing countries to reassess how they manage their health care systems. The COVID-91 pandemic and climate change have many similarities. Is climate change the cause of the COVID-19 outbreak? In January 2021, an article published in the journal Science of the Total Environment revealed evidence that climate change may be a direct cause in the emergence of the virus that causes the COVID pandemic. -19, acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2. An international team of scientists from institutions in the UK, Germany and the US has linked climate change caused by climate change to COVID-19. They emphasize that the number of bat species present is related to the number of coronaviruses in a particular environment. Due to climate change, factors such as temperature, atmospheric CO2 and cloud cover are evolving. These factors have a direct influence on the growth process of plants and trees. Climate change is affecting natural habitats and ecosystems through altering environmental factors. Even small adjustments can have a big impact on the species living in the ecosystem. Climate changes have directly created a favorable environment for many bat species to thrive, allowing the emergence of new coronaviruses – including the SARS-CoV-2 strain. COVID-19 is not the only infectious disease linked to climate change. For years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the link between changing environmental conditions and disease outbreaks. It is hoped that this linkage can now become central, forcing policymakers to consider the far-reaching impacts of climate change and devise calculated strategies to avert the damage. environment further and reverse the damage already done if possible. Climate changes create conditions for many new viruses to emerge. What needs to be done to prevent epidemics and climate change? Experts have suggested that tailoring government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change would enable an overall improvement in public health, as well as promote a sustainable economic future. sustainable for regions around the world. In addition, aligning responses offers an opportunity to protect the planet’s biodiversity and limit subsequent changes to diverse ecosystems. Just as anthropogenic climate change affects disease outbreaks, wildlife trade is an important factor in the spread of zoonotic diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. . The illegal wildlife trade causes people to mix with different species of animals where they are not supposed to, which promotes animal diseases. Climate change and infectious diseases cause preventable losses of life. Through strategic adjustments, it is possible to prevent the loss of life. In the coming years, more strategies will be implemented to modify human behaviours, so that they have less impact on the environment and limit the spread of infectious diseases.

One case of a patient with hand, foot and mouth disease must be hospitalized for treatment. According to the health report in April 2021, just sent by the Ministry of Health to the Office of the Government, in April, the country recorded 64 cases of viral encephalitis, including 1 death in Ben province. Bamboo. It is also the first case of death from viral encephalitis this year. Cumulative since the beginning of the year, the country has recorded 145 cases of viral encephalitis, equivalent to the same period in 2020. In addition, this month also recorded 2 cases of meningitis due to meningococcal tissue but no death case. Cumulative since the beginning of the year, the country has recorded 8 cases of meningitis caused by meningococcal tissue (an increase of 4 cases compared to the same period last year), of which 1 case died in Ho Chi Minh City. Also in this month, the country recorded 3,728 cases of dengue fever, 2 fatalities. Accumulating from the beginning of the year up to now, the country has recorded 19,710 cases of dengue fever, 5 deaths in Binh Duong (1); Phu Yen (2); Soc Trang (1), HCMC (1). Compared to the same period in 2020, the number of cases has decreased by 16.3%, but deaths increased by 1 case. In addition, hand, foot and mouth disease in the country this month recorded 8,705 cases and 3 deaths. Cumulative from the beginning of the year until now, the whole country has recorded 20,756 cases of hand, foot and mouth disease, 4 deaths in Dak Lak (1); Kien Giang (2); An Giang (1). Compared to the same period in 2020, the number of cases of hand, foot and mouth disease nationwide has increased by 1.9 times. With suspected measles fever, the whole country also recorded 69 cases, of which 17 cases were positive, there was no death. Accumulated from the beginning of this year, the country has recorded 173 cases of suspected measles fever, of which 21 cases were positive, and no deaths were recorded. Compared to the same period in 2020, the number of cases decreases by 12.8%, the number of positive cases decreases 156 cases. According to the Ministry of Health, Vietnam is a tropical country, circulating many infectious diseases transmitted by insects, including viral encephalitis, especially in the summer, the season suitable for insect transmission. Viral encephalitis is a dangerous condition caused by a variety of viruses, often causing damage to the brain, resulting in neurological sequelae and high mortality. In order to proactively prevent and fight epidemics in the summer of 2021, the Ministry of Health has sent an official letter to the Department of Health of the provinces and cities to strengthen surveillance, early detection, isolation and thorough treatment of outbreaks. at the same time take samples for testing to determine the causative agent. In particular, the provinces / cities must step up the expanded vaccination, ensuring the rate of over 95% of the commune, ward and town scale and organize the campaign of environmental sanitation, mosquito elimination, and larvae. .

In the past 6 years, the city has not had any cases of hand, foot and mouth death. However, in the first three months of 2021, the number of hand, foot and mouth disease cases has nearly doubled compared to the same period in 2017-2020.

It is worth noting that the number of cases of severe hand, foot and mouth disease (grade 2B and above) tends to increase.

Severe hand, foot and mouth disease has an increasing trend (Artwork).

Facing the increasing number of patients with hand, foot and mouth disease, the city health sector has implemented many activities such as: Training to improve the professional capacity of medical staff in charge of epidemic prevention and control; Apply information technology (online reporting, GIS software) for early detection of disease cases and outbreaks; develop utility tools on available softwares and applications for detecting, monitoring, handling cases and epidemics; Controlling infectious diseases in schools and communities.

Meeting between infectious diseases specialist on 15/04.

At the meeting between experts specialized in infectious diseases, BSCKII Nguyen Huu Hung – Deputy Director of the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City said: In the coming time, the city health sector will further strengthen communication activities. to people about hand, foot and mouth disease, organize professional training courses for health workers, review the number of medical supplies to cope with the risk of outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease.

In addition, the Health Sector will coordinate with the Education Sector to strengthen measures to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease in schools.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common infectious disease in young children, especially children under 5 years old. Hand, foot and mouth disease has a rapid spread rate, easy to translate, epidemic outbreaks in March-May and from August-September each year. Most cases were mild.

However, in some cases, the disease can progress seriously and cause dangerous complications such as encephalitis – meningitis, myocarditis, and acute pulmonary edema leading to death, so it should be detected early and treated promptly.

This article’s Professor and Doctor of Dermatology Duong Hy Xuyen (China) talk about the history of leprosy and the miracles that humans have fought to overcome this evil disease.

When you hear the word “leprosy”, what comes to mind first?

“Phong Village” is forgotten

Without a doubt, most people have this idea first in mind.

This is a somewhat frightening and remote topic, this bizarre disease has been too distant for us in the 21st century, far enough away to be forgotten.

Fifty years ago, hundreds of thousands of shunned leprosy people were still living in China, now it is hard to see them. The miserable patients are inherently seen as symbols of sin: leprosy and death are equated.

Leprosy is a chronic bacterial illness that can be written as leprosy, but it has nothing to do with madness. Perhaps to avoid such misunderstandings, this disease is often referred to as “leprosy”.

But everyone’s association with it is not only madness, but also represents bright red eyes, short fingers, festering wounds, amputated feet, distorted appearance and even death. miserable.

For thousands of years, leprosy has been considered an evil disease, even a symbol of evil, and under the tragic fate of leprosy patients, they continue to be tortured both physically and mentally, This is beyond our imagination.

In the old era, when medical technology was limited, medical equipment was scarce, leprosy was basically determined to be incurable since it had regionally contagious properties, the only way to Control of fluid growth is isolating the patient.

So, on the mountain, on an isolated island, a group of leprosy villages were built so that the sick lived there. There is no specific medicine or vaccine, and untreated self-resisting patients will continue to develop ulcers and disfigurement until they become paralyzed or even die.

Over time, people misunderstood, dispelled, and feared it, and the “scary” Phong was now a trademark of terror.

The end of the leprosy era

The leprosy history is long, stretching for 1400 years, like an endless nightmare.

It was not until 1874 that the Norwegian physician Hansen (GerhardH.A.Hansen) broke the darkness that he discovered the culprit – the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae.

Symptoms caused by Mycobacterium leprosy bacteria are manifested in the skin, peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, if not treated promptly can lead to blindness or deformity, disability and other consequences.

In other words, once leprosy is found, the disability rate will be very high. However, if the disability is detected early and treated promptly, the disability can be cured.

In current medical conditions, leprosy is already an easy-to-diagnose and treatable disease, currently in clinical use mainly a combination of many drugs and chemotherapy treatments, which can cure leprosy. Within 6-24 months, the contagiousness of the disease may disappear after a week of taking the drug.

Usually, if the patient unfortunately gets the disease, the patient does not need to have negative psychology and bewildered when treating this disease, on the one hand it will not be inherited, on the other hand, the survival rate of bacteria in vitro is low.

Generally, they can be destroyed by disinfection, most people have natural immunity (according to survey statistics with 90% or more), extremely low incidence, when infected. Nor does it need isolation, just treatment.

Darkness has long passed, the era when leprosy is “incurable disease” has been shortened by history. At present, there are basically few new cases, there is no so-called “leprosy village”, only more than 3,000 elderly people in community rehabilitation villages have survived the disease, but have also incapable of working, still facing sequelae.

Leprosy is not terrible

Although leprosy is rare, but because it is very similar to the symptoms of other diseases, it is possible to misdiagnose or omit the disease, so the prevention and treatment cannot be relaxed.

On the other hand, leprosy is a disease with a dark history. Even modern people will still have a lack of sympathy towards patients with fear of leprosy, which has become the biggest obstacle to leprosy prevention today.

So sometimes, it is not the terminal illness, but the hearts of people. Of course, society is not without action.

The last Sunday of January every year is “World leprosy Day”, many countries will organize many activities on this day to mobilize social forces to help leprosy patients overcome difficulties in their life. live and work to eliminate prejudice and discrimination.

There are also many volunteers entering the rehabilitation village, sharing, chatting, even eating, living together, giving care, warm care and making their best contributions. can.

The original purpose of writing this article was to hope everyone to have a correct understanding of leprosy, not to be bound by inherent impressions of the past. Leprosy is not as formidable and frightening as we can imagine. It can be seen from a scientific perspective, it will reduce the superficial evaluation and alienate the patient.

1. Age of mumps is common
2. Mumps of other ages

Mumps is not life-threatening, but if it is not detected and treated in time, it can leave many serious complications. Moreover, this disease is spread through the respiratory tract, so it can cause epidemic in the community.

People of many different ages can get mumps. Understanding of the age of mumps is common will help prevent the disease and its spread.

1. Age of mumps is common

Mumps is one of the most common cold-season illnesses. This is a common disease, with the ability of all ages to get mumps. However, the most common age group for mumps is school age. Specifically, according to statistics, more than 80% of mumps cases occur in children under 15 years old, of which, the most common are children from 6-10 years old.

In addition, mumps is very rare in children under 2 years of age. Children after two years of age, the rate of infected children gradually increases. Mumps is highest in teenagers, noting that the incidence is higher in men than in women.

Because mumps is common at school age, but mumps is transmitted through the respiratory tract, so mumps easily spreads into epidemics in schools due to the concentration of people. Therefore, when mumps has mumps, student patients must miss school for at least two weeks, taking care not to go to public areas to limit the spread of the disease to others.

The most common age of mumps is children from 6-10 years old – Internet photo

In fact, mumps is completely self-medicating at home. But because it is contagious, common in young children, when sick, children need to be isolated, not sharing items such as towels, bowls, and toothbrushes, …

When treating mumps, fever reducers, pain relievers, warm towels are used to wipe the baby’s body, and warm compresses on the swollen cheeks to help the child relieve pain.

In addition, in the diet, children should eat a lot of fruits, milk, eat soft foods such as soup, porridge … In particular, parents need to note that children need to rest, walk gently, Do not run or play because it can aggravate the complications of the disease. When the child shows signs of severe transition, it is necessary to take the child immediately to the nearest medical facility for treatment.

The most important thing to prevent mumps at this age is to get your baby vaccinated for mumps. Note the correct injection and enough injections to achieve the best preventive effect.

Parents can find out more information about the mumps vaccine through the article: Mumps Vaccine and Synthesize Certain Information.

2. Mumps of other ages

With that said, mumps is common in school age. However, other subjects are not subjective as anyone can develop the disease.

In adults, mumps is rare. However, it is not excluded that adults get mumps that are spread from others. More dangerously, when infected, adults are more prone to complications faster and more severe than mumps in children.

Absolutely not subjective because adults are still at risk of mumps if they are not fully vaccinated – Photo Internet

Specifically, the most common and dangerous complication of mumps in adults is its negative impact on the reproductive function of both men and women. Accordingly, complications of testicular inflammation and epididymitis complications occur in about 20-35% of men with mumps after puberty.

Complications of testicular inflammation with mumps usually appear 5-10 days after the swelling of the parotid glands. The result of testicular inflammation can lead to atrophy of the testicles, decreased sperm count, and in turn infertility.

As for women, according to statistics, complications of ovarian inflammation occur in about 7% of women after puberty. More dangerous, for pregnant women, if infected with mumps in the first 3 months of mumps, the fetus is at risk of malformations, even causing miscarriage. risk of premature birth or stillbirth.

Thus, although not as common as children, but with other subjects, once infected with mumps often complicates faster and more dangerous. Therefore, there should be preventive measures to minimize the risk of mumps as well as avoid spreading the disease to the community and protect the health of themselves and those around the best.
