| The paper is devoted to the matters of Influenza versions and the methods to cure it. Influenza, generally traditionally named as "the flu," is a highly contagious virus of the airways. Almost everybody has already confronted with this sickness. In that way, if you have a desire to know how to manage it, then find time to read here.
Influenza infection is usually divided in three types - "A"-Influenza, "B"-Influenza and "C"-Influenza. On account of the deep after-effects of the model "A" Influenza by way of epidemics and pandemics this pattern of Influenza is fairly considered to be the most dangerous. The after-effects of Influenza may be very severe, it may even bring to fatal termination. The model "A" Influenza is in its turn divided in a number of sub-types depending on the surface proteins. The surface proteins are the Hem agglutinin and Neuramidase that are marked as "H" and "N" accordingly. Scientists have discovered sixteen versions of Hem agglutinin and 9 variants of Neuramidase. In that way, numbers are applied to define the variation of Influenza sub-type. For example, the abbreviation H1N1 stands for the variations no.1 of "H" and "N" surface proteins.
In that way, now you can conceive the quantity of different viruses of "A"-Influenza - it is equivalent to the number of H and N combinations. In spite of the fact that "A" Influenza viruses are regarded as the most dangerous, not all of these variations influence human health. The majority of them have an effect on just some species of animals. But still, there are several viruses that can spread to people. These patterns are H1N1, H1N2 and H1N3. The H1N1 virus has caused illnesses both in animal world and among people that's why it is considered to be the most severe. It's called the avian flu and is developed from water ducks through their nasal secretions, saliva and feces.
The "B" and "C" Influenza models cause mild symptoms and that's why they are not considered to be severe.
The flu viral infections may transform its structure and be transformed in such a way that they are not receptive to the medicines, so the scientists have to look for new treatment techniques.
After having clarified the structure of the flu viruses it's high time to apply to the most effective means of the flu treatment. Tamiflu represents one of the most popular medicine for curing the flu. The action of Tamiflu is aimed at stopping the infection from the very beginning and impels the body to create antibodies to kill the viral infections. To obtain the best results you should take Tamiflu in 48 hours after you feel the first symptoms of the flu. It's a must to take the full course of Tamiflu treatment. Sometimes you have some symptoms of the flu but you are not quite sure if it is Influenza or you just caught a cold. In this situation you may take one tablet a day for seven days as a preventive measure. To strengthen the impact of Tamiflu try to take tablets at the same time every day. |
