Sand fly fever

Introduction

Introduction to Baijiu Sandflyfever is an acute viral disease caused by the white sputum virus that is transmitted by the ferrets. Clinically, it is characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, conjunctival hyperemia and leukopenia, and the prognosis is good. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.04%-0.05% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of transmission: insect vector transmission complication:

Cause

Chalk fever

(1) Causes of the disease

The white sputum fever virus is an arbovirus virus, and there are at least 20 serotypes. The virus can be isolated from suckling mice and hamsters, and can also be cultured with Vero cells to produce cytopathic effects.

After reaching a certain amount, it enters the blood circulation, causing viremia, causing systemic diseases, and invading the central nervous system.

X-ray chest radiographs showed no abnormalities.

Diagnosis

White fever diagnosis
