| The report is devoted to the matters of the flu variations and the means to heal it. Influenza, commonly traditionally knows as "the flu," is a highly contagious infection of the respiratory tracts. Practically everybody has already faced this illness. So, if you would like to discover in what way to manage it, just find time to read below.
The flu viral infection is commonly represented in three types - "A"-Influenza, "B"-Influenza and "C"-Influenza. On account of the severe after-effects of the pattern "A" Influenza as epidemics and pandemics this model of Influenza is justly reputed to be the most hazardous. The after-effects of the flu can be very severe, it may even bring to lethal outcome. The pattern "A" Influenza is for its turn divided in different sub-patterns according to the surface proteins. The surface proteins are the Hem agglutinin and Neuramidase that are marked as "H" and "N" respectively. Research workers have detected sixteen versions of Hem agglutinin and 9 versions of Neuramidase. Accordingly, numbers are applied to define the variation of Influenza sub-pattern. For example, the symbol H1N1 represents the first versions of "H" and "N" surface proteins.
Accordingly, at the moment you can picture the quantity of different viruses of "A"-Influenza - it equals to the number of H and N combinations. Although "A" infections are considered the most severe, not all of these variations threaten human health. Most of them influence only some species of animals. Nevertheless, there are some viral infections that can pass to human beings. These types are H1N1, H1N2 and H1N3. The H1N1 infection has provoked diseases both among animals and among human beings that's why it's considered to be the most dangerous. It's known as the avian influenza and is developed from water ducks via nasal secretions, saliva and feces.
The "B" and "C" Influenza types cause light disease symptoms and therefore they are not regarded as dangerous.
The flu viral infections may change its structure and be transformed in such a way that they are not sensitive to the medicines, so the scientists have to look for new treatment techniques.
Having understood the structure of Influenza viral infections it is high time to apply to the most efficacious methods of the flu medical treatment. Tamiflu is the most popular medicine for curing the flu. The action of Tamiflu is purposed to stopping the infection from the very beginning and stimulates the body to create antibodies to kill the infections. In order to acquire the best result you should take Tamiflu in two days after you feel the first symptoms of the flu. It's obligatory to follow the full course of Tamiflu treatment. Sometimes you have some symptoms of Influenza but you are not quite sure whether it is the flu or you just caught a cold. In this situation you can take one tablet a day during seven days as a preventive measure. To intensify the effect of Tamiflu pay attention to take tablets at the same time every day. |
