Adenovirus - the virus is adenovirus family
Adenovirus infection is characterized by high fever, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, as well as increasing the submucosa and lymph nodes. Vysokozarazna infection.
The most frequently observed species
- SARS with severe fever (mainly affects children)
- SARS adults
- virus pneumonia
- Acute adenoviral angina (occurring in children, especially in the summer after bathing)
- Acute follicular conjunctivitis
- Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (mostly adults)
- Intestinal infections (enteritis)
Very commonly reported infection is 2-5% of all respiratory infections. Is more common in infants and children.
Activators - viruses genus mastadenoviruses size 60-90 nm; There are about 80 species
Human Adenovirus widespread and constitute 5-10% of all viral diseases; most of the lesions account for the children's age (about 75%); while 35-40% were recorded in children under 5 years old, the other - under the age of 14 years. The main routes of transmission - airborne and contact.
shape
- Airway inflammation
- pharyngoconjunctival fever
- Plonchaty conjunctivitis
- Tonzillofaringit (adenoviral angina)
- Intestinal form (viral diarrhea, gastroenteritis)
- mesenteric adenitis
- Viral pneumonia.
adenovirus symptoms
Airway inflammation - the most common form, is characterized by the expression of airway inflammatory changes (nasopharyngitis, laryngitis, Tracheitis, bronchitis) Under mild manifestations of intoxication.
pharyngoconjunctival fever. Characterized by long reaction temperature (up to 2 weeks) and symptoms pharyngitis: Sore throat, cough rare; airways in the process involves a small degree.
Plonchaty conjunctivitis. It is usually seen in adults and older children. Unilateral (sometimes bilateral) with conjunctivitis film on the mucosal surface (usually the lower eyelid) accompanied by severe swelling of the surrounding tissues, pain, erythema and vasodilatation conjunctiva, fever. Airways in the process are not involved. This clinical form is characteristic only for adenovirus infection
tonzillofaringit. Typical for preschool children. Characterized by the development of inflammatory changes in tissues throat and tonsils with the formation of a sore throat.
intestinal form (Gastroenteritis, viral daareya). Characterized by the development of moderate gastroenteritis, manifested by nausea, vomiting, loose stools without impurities. Body temperature is low. The simultaneous engagement in respiratory process (or nasopharyngitis laryngotracheitis).
mesenteric adenitis. Characterized by abdominal pain and reaction temperature. This clinical form does not exclude a possible bacterial infection, because the necessary antimicrobial therapy.
survey
- Abjection; sample - nasal secretions, pharyngeal, conjunctival, faeces, and others.
- Detection of virus antigens in the cells by microscopy
adenovirus treatment
- Bed rest for a period of elevated body temperature.
- At body temperature above 38 degree- paracetamol of 0.2-0.4 g per reception 2-3 p / day (10-15 mg / kg / day). Not recommended reception acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)
- Antitussives and expectorants (glaucine, glauvent, stoptussin, mukaltin et al.)
- Glucocorticoid ointments (topical) - conjunctivitis (after consultation ophthalmologist).
The disease runs independently with little or no complications
prevention
- Live vaccines against adenoviruses types 4 and 7 covered with a protecting from digestion in the intestine capsule, reduce the incidence of SARS.
