Last winter, his daughter was put in a clinic, half of his face was swollen and his eyes were barely open. His daughter was in a hurry: "doctor, my dad got herpes last month. It's hard. How come she can't breathe?"
I'm looking at old choi's medical records, and last month's record of the hospitalization of herpes with herpes is still here. This time, the chest tablets, the large right lung, the blood elephants are so high, and typical pneumonia。
The old choi was lying on the bed of the medical examination, and his daughter looked in the red eye and said, “i knew how much had been done to save the hundreds of dollars by having to go for vaccination”
Many middle-aged people over 55 years of age feel that vaccination is a child's business and has nothing to do with themselves. The older they are, the older they become, the more the immune system looks like a broken wall, and they look fine, and the whole wall may collapse when a wind blows。
Our national health commission's core information on the prevention of old-age incapacitation is clear and clear, recommending that older people be vaccinated against pneumocococcal and herpes, and against influenza before the flu season under the direction of a doctor。
Older and middle-aged persons are at high risk of serious illness and death as a result of reduced immune capacity and the fact that most of them are associated with underlying diseases, and are vulnerable to serious respiratory diseases。
After the age of 55, no matter how hard your body feels, it's best to have two vaccines -- it's not a big deal, it's a insurance for the rest of your life。
The first is the herpes vaccine. Old choi's crime last month may not have been known by many. The herpes are what the common people call “touching the waist” and “scabies”, caused by a pox-band herpes virus, which lurks in the neurological section as a child when you're older and less immune。
Herpes is not the water herpes that most torments people, but the “neural pains” that may fall after it has been done — like fire, electric shocks, knives — people who have been in pain for years, or even more, and have been unable to sleep。
There are more than 1. 5 million new cases of herpes each year among the population aged 50 and over. More problematic is the fact that 30 to 50 per cent of patients with neurological pain after herpes can last for more than one year, in part for 10 years or more。
I've seen an old man in his 80s, with herpes on his chest for seven or eight years, and he's afraid to wear clothes with meat on him。
According to the shanghai city board of health and welfare, the probability of post-neural pain increases with age for older patients, with a probability of over 80 per cent over. This pain is not something that can be overcome with patience. It is a living sin。
Some people say, "i'm good, i don't have to fight." that's the best thing. Experts at the centre for disease control in dalian city remind that persons over 50 years of age are vulnerable to herpes, especially those with the underlying chronic diseases of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, which are not only more at risk, but in turn exacerbates herpes。
There are currently two types of herpes vaccine in the country. The imported recombinant protein vaccine is suitable for persons over 50 years of age, with two doses; the nationally produced detoxification vaccine is suitable for persons over 40 years of age, with one dose. People with herpes can also fight and prevent relapse。
The second is pneumococcal vaccine. There's a lot of people who don't like pneumonia. After infection with pneumocococcal infection, the middle-aged have unusual clinical performance, a high level of complications and poor treatment outcomes, which can easily delay treatment。
Data from the centre for disease control in dalian city show that the elderly and middle-aged suffer from invasive pneumocococcal disease, with rates of death ranging from 30 to 40 per cent if they develop sepsis。
This number is not a deterrent, and an analysis published by nih covering more than 66,000 patients hospitalized with pneumococcal disease in spain confirms that the rate of hospitalization and mortality of pneumococcal disease increases with age, and that the risk of death of patients with combined underlying diseases is more than four times higher than that of healthy people。
It's pneumococcal pneumonia this time. He has been diabetic for more than a decade, less resistant than normal humans, with herpes falling apart last month, and with pneumocococcal fungus coming in and taking root directly in his lungs。
Fortunately, the delivery was timely, the antibiotics were right and spent six months in the hospital. The day i got out of the hospital, i told him that, after this year's recovery, when the body recovered, the 23-priced pneumonia vaccine was administered, usually one dose, and the protection period could last for several years。
However, it should be recalled that those who are suffering from acute disease, fever or a serious allergic history of vaccine components, do not hit them until they have stabilized。
In addition, herpes and pneumonia vaccines can be administered separately or simultaneously with influenza vaccines, specifically how to arrange for access to doctors. It would not take much time to go to the community health services and have the doctors assess it if they were unable to do so。
Old choi came to the clinic yesterday and he's feeling well and breathing well. His daughter says she's scheduled to go for pneumonia next wednesday and arrange for the flu vaccine。
Old choi was sitting on the bench at the clinic door, and the stain on his face was still not completely wiped out because of herpes, but the look was much better than when he was hospitalized. And he saw me laughing: "doctor, this time i remember, some money is too much to save."
Real health, not when you feel like you're good, you're okay, but when you're okay, put on an invisible armour。
After the age of 55, stop treating yourself as a young man, flu, pneumonia and herpes, and each of them can make a lot of use for the elderly。
Go home today and review your vaccinations, and if you don't get the pneumonia and herpes vaccines, you'll find a time to ask the community health services — what you spend half a day doing might save the rest of your life。
