will the deadly “Japanese” infection come to Russia? – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Japan has been hit by a new unknown infection with a very high mortality rate. In the first two months of 2024, 378 cases of infection have already been registered. We are talking about streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). “Evening Moscow” discussed with immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov how quickly the disease spreads and whether it can reach Russia. An infection known for a long time According to the expert, the streptococcal infection itself is already very well known. In most cases, it does not cause complications and belongs to the opportunistic microflora of the oral cavity, pharynx and skin. – Infection can most often cause influenza-like illnesses with similar syndromes: fever, sore throat, general illnesses. But there are cases of invasive infection, when it penetrates deeper into the body and causes streptococcal toxic shock syndrome or other manifestations that more deeply affect organs and systems, even pneumonia and meningitis, Kryuchkov warned. But today, characteristic manifestations of this disease have already appeared. began to change, which worried experts. — In most cases, streptococcal toxic shock occurs without symptoms and flu-like manifestations and does not cause consequences. But today, in some countries, including Japan, the percentage of severe cases of the disease has increased. Moreover, this increase is at least twice as high as usual,” the doctor said. Why has the incidence increased? The immunologist explained that the increase in various bacterial and viral diseases is associated with several factors, including: the lifting of anti-Covid restrictions; changes in the strain of bacterial infection; immunodeficiency changes. – Since the fall of last year, the dynamics of infectious and viral diseases have been intensifying. After anti-Covid restrictions were lifted, the number of cases began to increase. We are talking not only about the flu, but also about measles, rubella, chickenpox, bacterial meningitis, and this list includes streptococcus,” the specialist explained. Of course, the increase in this infection is not explained by the removal of antiviral drugs alone. -Covid- restrictions: “It is very likely that a new group of strains of this bacterial disease has emerged first. “This group of strains is characterized by increased invasiveness and infectivity, as well as the ability to cause more severe generalized lesions in people,” Kryuchkov emphasized. Perhaps this number of infected people is associated with immunodeficiency after suffering from COVID-19,” the expert added. . . Will it reach Russia? According to the doctor, any infection can spread, but streptococcal toxic shock is not like other types of viruses. - However, it is capable of spreading throughout the world and reaching Russia. But in the classical sense there can be no epidemic. Rather, there will be a “terrible” spread of infection with a large number of deaths, Kryuchkov believes. At the same time, he concluded, mortality may remain high, despite treatment and antibiotic therapy. Source link Source link
