Studies Affirm Need for Influenza and Measles Vaccinations in HIV-Infected
2007-07-28 12:46:00 Two new studies emphasize the importance of delivering measles and influenza vaccines to HIV-infected individuals. Both studies are published in the August 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online.William J.

Children were followed for up to 27 months thereafter. Some received repeat vaccination. Measles-specific antibodies in the blood were then measured on subsequent ...

The main effects of the influenza viruses are on the upper respiratory tract, the nose and throat, with possible spread and involvement of the lungs and bronchi.Influenza strikes suddenly. It usually begins with a chill, fever, headache and severe muscular pains. The patient feels miserable and weak. There is an inflammation in the nose and throat, which may spread down the windpipe to the lungs, resulting in a sore throat, cough, running of the nose and eyes.Influenza is what is known as germ disease. It is, however, not caused primarily by the action of the germs as is generally believed, but develops due to a toxic and run-down condition of the system of the affected person. This condition is brought about by dietetic errors and a faulty style of li...

Respiratory Problems - Influenza
2007-07-07 19:49:00 Quick FactThe upper respiratory tract includes the:nosenasal cavityethmoidal air cellsfrontal sinusesmaxillary sinuslarynxtrachea The functions of the upper respiratory tract are to move air to and from the lungs, and to filter, moisten, and warm the air.Upper respiratory infection (URI) is an imprecise term that covers any infectious-disease process that usually involves the respiratory system starting with the nose and ending just before the lungs. The infections could be caused by viruses or bacteria, and include conditions such as the common cold, influenza, sinus problems, minor sore throat, and so forth.Sometimes, bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi) is called an upper respiratory infection. However, because the bronchi are found in the lungs, bronchitis is actually a lower respiratory infection or lung condition.INFLUENZA (flu)Influenza ( flu) is a highly contagious viral respiratory tract infection.
