The flu epidemic is reaching its peak. The aggressive form of type A has spread throughout the country, affecting young and old. Over 19,000 people per week are reported to have the flu by the Institute of Public Health, but the incidence figures in the population are much higher.
Public Health experts confirm that influenza A type and its subtypes A H1n1 and AH3N1 are dominating circulation over other infections, RSV and Covid.
The increase in morbidity in all age groups has increased the flow of visits to doctors, but also serious cases in hospitals. The Sanatorium, Infectious Diseases Hospital and Pediatrics are overloaded due to the increase in emergencies and hospitalizations.
This year's flu is more aggressive than a year ago. It is characterized by a very high and persistent temperature. Therefore, according to experts, anyone affected by the flu, especially children, should stay home to avoid spreading the infection to kindergartens, schools or other institutions. Do not take medication without a doctor's recommendation and do not go to hospital emergencies.
The family doctor or pediatrician should be the first point of contact for the patient. Public health experts expect the peak of the flu epidemic to be marked next week with over 20,000 infected per week, with severe cases not excluded. (A2 Televizion)
