27 Korkins were injured from tick bite
In the Chelyabinsk region, the season of tick activity began. As of April 25, 27 residents of Korkinsky district contacted medical organizations, of which eight children. From among the insects injured from the bite, three adults, one child are vaccinated against tick -borne encephalitis. Thirty -seven percent of those who applied for medical help received immunoglobulin for a preventive purpose. This was informed by the territorial department of the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the cities of Korkino and Emanelinsk, the Etkul district.
Tick -borne viral encephalitis (KVE) is an acute infectious viral disease, with a predominant damage to the central nervous system.
The consequences of the disease: from complete recovery to health disorders, leading to disability and death.
The tick-borne encephalitis virus is transmitted to a person in the first minutes of sucking a tick infected with a virus along with saliva when visiting the territories in forests, forest parks, in individual garden plots. In addition, in recent years there has been an activation of foci of tick -borne infections in the city zone.
To reduce the number of ticks in the Korkinsky district, acaricidal processing of the territories of preschool and general educational organizations, places of mass recreation (parks, squares, stadiums), cemeteries and other objects is carried out annually. Last year, anti -cell treatment was carried out at 97 facilities with a total area of 177.7 hectares.
The basic measures of prevention for tick -borne encephalitis remain vaccine -prevention. Vaccinations against the KVE are carried out year -round, you can start vaccination at any time of the year. The primary vaccination course consists of two vaccinations, revaccination is carried out a year later, subsequently with a frequency of 1 time every three years. Persons who are not vaccinated against tick -borne encephalitis who have received incomplete vaccinations that have defects in a vaccine course that does not have documentary evidence of preventive vaccinations, in case of suction of the tick, introduce anticlone immunoglobulin, the introduction of which should be carried out no later than 72 hours after sucking the tick and after receiving the results of the study of the tick.
Going to nature, do not forget about the measures of personal prevention in protection against ticks.
