The temperature fluctuations in these days of January have increased the number of people affected by viral flu.
Public Health experts say that they haven’t isolated any case of influenza, but since October there have been 12.000 cases of respiratory infections.
“This is the peak of the season. January and February are the months with a new trend of the respiratory infections, mainly in the upper area which dominate with 8000 cases, and the lower ones with 4000 cases. We have no case of grippe”, says Eugena Erindi, from the Infective Diseases Department.
But most of the citizens neglect it and they simply consult the pharmacist or the in the best case, with the family doctor, who rarely sends them to specialists, making the symptoms even harder.
“The family doctor has the right to cure flu, but the medium and serious forms of this diseases cannot be cured only by him, because when they come at specialists they are sent to hospital. This cannot be treated at home, when it is in this serious form”, declared Sabet Dedja, an infectionist doctor.
The upcoming weeks are expected to have a higher number of patients, since this is the peak of their season.
