What should I do if I have a headache when blowing an air conditioner???? 5

As the weather gradually warms up, air conditioners are being used one after another. While sending a burst of coolness to people, a kind of pathogenic bacteria parasitic in the cooling water tower and pipeline system of the first air conditioner enter the office building and commercial building through the vent, threatening people's health and safety.

This pathogenic bacterium, which is less familiar to people, is a water-source microorganism that can survive for a long time when the water temperature is 31 36. It is mainly airborne and inhaled into the human body through the respiratory tract. Outbreaks are mostly in summer and autumn, especially in modern office environments equipped with enclosed** air conditioning.

Legionnaires' disease is mainly divided into two types, one is pneumonia type, its initial symptoms are general malaise, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, fever, cough, chest pain, coughing up blood, dyspnea, etc., and can also invade the digestive system and central nervous system. The other type is the non-pneumonia type, the disease is mild, like the common cold or flu-like onset, with fever, myalgia, sore throat, cough and other symptoms, about 2-5 days can be self-healing. Alcohol-addicted tobaccos, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, heart disease, diabetes, chronic nephritis, chronic liver disease, and people with various weakened immune systems such as cancer, AIDS patients and long-term hormone and anti-tumor ** are all groups with a high incidence of Legionnaires' disease, especially middle-aged and elderly people.

The probability of Legionnaires' disease in the general population is that of the office building population. Once suffering from Legionella pneumonia will be a terrible thing, the mortality rate in the normal population without immune deficiency is 30, and the mortality rate can be reduced to 5 after timely **; In immunocompromised people, the mortality rate rises to 70. Legionella pneumonia is not natural**, if it is not paid attention to in the early stage, or **is not standardized, it can die in 1 7 days.

However, if detected early and with erythromycin drugs in time, the symptoms will be quickly reduced, and the recovery will be good, and there will be no sequelae.

At present, there is no vaccine to prevent Legionella pneumonia, and it can only be detected early and early. The prevention method is to test once a year in the place where the air conditioner is used, and clean and disinfect it in time if it is found that there are pathogenic bacteria. During the use of the air conditioner, it is necessary to pay attention to open the windows for ventilation, and never always close the windows.

In the season of high incidence of Legionella pneumonia, as long as there is a high fever, cough, and phlegm, the disease should be considered. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of Legionella pneumonia has become a major new public health issue for urban development.

Please pay serious attention!

Remember to go out for a walk every day and leave the windows open for a few hours.
