What is infectious mononucleosis or Filatov’s disease?
It is believed that the agent – filterable virus Epstein-Barr virus. Infectious mononucleosis is possible only with very close contact with the patient’s healthy, is by airborne droplets. Most sick children. The incidence observed throughout the year, but higher in autumn months.
Symptoms, signs and course of Infectious mononucleosis.
The duration of the incubation period of 5-20 days. Signs are formed gradually, reaching a maximum by the end of the first, beginning the second week. There is a slight discomfort in the first 2-3 days of illness, accompanied by a slight increase in temperature and weakly pronounced changes of the lymph nodes and throat buy Revatio 20 mg online. In the midst of illness with fever, inflammation in the throat, enlargement of the spleen, liver and posterior-cervical lymph nodes.
Infectious mononucleosis (Filatov's disease)
The duration of the reaction temperature from 1-2 days to 3 weeks – the longer the period, the higher rise in temperature. Characteristic changes in temperature during the day at 1-2 degrees Celsius. Swollen lymph nodes most clearly and consistently in the neck band on hind margin of the sternoclavicular-nipple muscle. They may take the form of a chain or package. In separate nodes reach a diameter of 2-3 cm cervical tissue edema not. Nodes are not soldered together, are mobile.
Nasopharyngitis may manifest as sudden difficulty breathing and copious mucous discharge, and mild nasal congestion, tickle and mucous is removed at the back of the throat. “Lanceolate” plaque, which was hanging from the nasopharynx, usually combined with massive overdubs on the tonsils, loosely-cheesy consistency white-yellow color. All patients have hepato-splenic syndrome (liver and spleen). Often the disease can occur with jaundice. Various rash: rash varies, and persists for several days. In some cases, conjunctivitis and affection of mucous membranes may prevail over the rest of symptomatology.
Recognition.
Possible only through an integrated consideration of clinical and laboratory data. Usually in the formula the increase in blood lymphocytes (not less than 15% compared with the age norm) and the appearance in the blood “atypical” mononuclear cells. Of serological studies to detect heterophile antibodies to erythrocytes of various animals.
Treatment of infectious mononucleosis.
No specific therapy, so in practice, using symptomatic. In the period of fever – antipyretics and drinking liquids. When nasal breathing difficulty – vasoconstrictor drugs (ephedrine, galazolin, etc.). Applied desensitization drugs. Recommend gargling with warm solutions furatsilinom, sodium bicarbonate. Feeding patients with prosperous course does not require any special restrictions. Prevention is not developed.
It may be caused by various reasons. Myocardial infarction caused by heart failure and arising in connection with the violation of the outflow of blood from the pulmonary blood vessels. In patients with essential hypertension or anemia occurs mainly due to excitation of the autonomic nervous system that leads to a redistribution of blood in the body and its accumulation in the pulmonary system. The same thing happens with injuries and diseases of the brain. In uremia, poisoning and toxic substances (chlorine, phosgene) in the development of pulmonary edema huge role played by the increased permeability of the walls of pulmonary capillaries. Whatever the cause of pulmonary edema leads to disruption of breathing and hypoxia. One of the first symptoms – shortness of rapid breathing (dyspnea), patient anxiety, increased heart rate. In the future, breathing becomes hoarse and even choking, coughing appears to release a white or pink frothy sputum buy Revatio online. This foam prevents the flow of air in the alveoli of the lungs, the patient develops anoxia, one of the signs of which – cyanosis of the skin and mucous membranes (cyanosis).
The overwhelming fatigue, drowsiness, shortness of breath, not only during physical exertion, but also at rest, frequent shallow breathing. They are all associated with worsening hypoxia. Because of it, same lips and nails may turn blue or grizzle. Cough is usually dry at first, later appears foamy, pink or bloody sputum. Breathing is noisy, you can hear wheezing in the lungs (your ear). Characteristic symptom of the “cork-tumbler”: the patient because of weak wants to lie down, but can not do this, because in such a situation becomes more difficult to breathe (replenished by blood to the lungs, edema aggravated). Hiv is often accompanied by the PTO, so can join the relevant symptoms.
