FLU A
What's de flu A?

The flu A, called also the porcine flu, is a respiratory contagious disease of the porks. The virus that originate the porcine flu only infect to the porks, but sometimes they penetrate the barrier and cause diseases to the human beings.
Which are the symptoms of the flu?

The symptoms that there presents a person infected by the virus of the flu A are very similar to those that a person suffers with a common flu. Of that diagnose this disease is so difficult.

Symptoms very similar to those of the common flu, for not saying identical:
High fever, continued and painful cough, sneezes, general discomfort, muscular pains, lack of appetite, etc.



How is it possible to know if it's about of a case flu A?

The doctors are the only ones they're capable of diagnosing a case of flu A due to the similarity of its symptoms of the common flu. For it there's obtained a sample of mucosity of the respiratory device of the patient during the 4 or the first 5 days of the infection. And there will decide the concrete type of virus about which it treats itself. Sometimes also it's possible to be necessary to realize a test in blood.

When is it necessary to start worrying?

A flu is troublesome, but for general norm, doesn't need hospitalization. Nevertheless, with the porcine flu it will be necessary to come as soon as possible to a hospital if one presents someone of the following symptoms in the patient:

- difficulty carries to extremes to breathe.
- vomits or persistent diarrheas.
- decrease of the condition of conscience, managing to lose it even.
- sudden changes in the cardiac frequency.
- sharp worsening of a chronic disease.



"Don't kiss, don't give the hand, say hello ", warns.

But I think that it's not too important that, because to one of your friends you go to kiss him/her. But it's a good way of anticipating, because there are already many deaths caused by the contagion of the flu.
