Symptoms and prevention of Ruo Ru virus

If the virus breaks out, it will have a great impact on the patient's body, so you need to pay attention to it in normal times. The infected person will suddenly have symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which are especially common in children. This virus is also contagious, so patients need to be isolated after the onset of the disease.

Clinical symptoms

The incubation period is usually 24 to 48 hours, with the shortest being 12 hours and the longest being 72 hours. The infection occurs suddenly, with the main symptoms being nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Vomiting is common in children, while diarrhea is more common in adults, with 4 to 8 episodes of diarrhea within 24 hours. The stool is loose or watery, without mucus, pus or blood. Routine stool microscopic examination showed WBC<15 and no RBC. Patients with primary infection have significantly more vomiting symptoms than those with secondary infection, and some infected patients only show vomiting symptoms. In addition, symptoms such as headache, chills and muscle pain may also be seen, and in severe cases, dehydration symptoms may occur.

Treatment

There is currently no specific antiviral drug. Symptomatic or supportive treatment is the main treatment. Antibiotics are generally not required, and the prognosis is good. Dehydration is the main cause of death from Norovirus-induced diarrhea. Severe cases, especially young children and the weak, should be given timely infusion or oral rehydration to correct dehydration, acidosis and electrolyte imbalance.

Mode of transmission

Norovirus can be found in the stool and vomit of infected people. You can get norovirus in several ways: eating food or drinking beverages contaminated with norovirus; touching objects or surfaces contaminated with norovirus and then touching your hands to your mouth;
