| The review is devoted to the matters of Influenza variations and the methods to heal it. Influenza, generally also named as "the flu," is a highly infectious virus of the airway. Nearly everybody has already faced this illness. So, if you wish to get to know in what way to cope with it, just find time to read here.
The flu virus is commonly represented in three models - "A"-Influenza, "B"-Influenza and "C"-Influenza. Due to the severe consequences of the pattern "A" Influenza as epidemics and pandemics this pattern of Influenza is rightly reputed to be the most perilous. The sequels of Influenza can be very serious, it may even result in death. The type "A" Influenza is in its part divided in some sub-patterns depending on the surface proteins. The surface proteins are the Hem agglutinin and Neuramidase that are identified as "H" and "N" correspondingly. Research workers have revealed sixteen variations of Hem agglutinin and 9 versions of Neuramidase. Accordingly, numerals are applied to determine the version of Influenza sub-model. For instance, the abbreviation H1N1 stands for the first variants of "H" and "N" surface proteins.
Consequently, at the moment you can conceive the number of different viruses of "A"-Influenza - it equals to the number of H and N versions. Despite the fact that "A" Influenza infections are considered the most dangerous, not all of these versions influence the health of human beings. Most of them affect just some species of animals. Nevertheless, there are some viruses that can spread to people. These models are H1N1, H1N2 and H1N3. The H1N1 infection has evoked sickness both among animals and among human beings therefore it is reputed to be the most grave. It's known as the fowl plague and is developed from water ducks through the nasal secretions, saliva and feces.
The "B" and "C" Influenza types provoke light illness symptoms and therefore they are not regarded as severe.
The flu viruses may change its structure and be changed in such a way that they are not receptive to the medicines and vaccines, so the researches have to look for new medical treatment.
After having clarified the structure of the flu infections it's high time to address to the most efficient methods of the flu cure. Tamiflu is the most widespread medicine for healing the flu. The action of Tamiflu is aimed at stopping the infection from the very start and impels the body to produce antibodies so as to kill the viral infections. To obtain the best result you have to take Tamiflu in 48 hours after you feel the first symptoms of the flu. It is obligatory to follow the full course of Tamiflu medical treatment. Sometimes you have a number of 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 impact of Tamiflu pay attention to take tablets at the same time every day. |
