with one of the following symptoms: coughing, kokrhavý
cough or vomiting after coughing without other apparent cause or
apnea in infants. The incubation period of 7-21 days.

Second Typical form of pertussis:

Disease usually takes 6-8 weeks and has three stages: catarrhal (1-2 weeks
), paroxysmal (2-6 weeks) and convalescent (1-3 weeks).
Initial symptoms (runny nose, watery eyes, mild dry cough,
subfebrile) correspond to the symptoms of the common cold. During katarálního
stage a dry, irritating cough worsens and becomes paroxysmal coughing
- paroxysmal stage. The number and severity of seizures during this stage
rises. The bout was marked by a series of short expiratory completed
characteristic gulping protracted inspiration. Cough strokes are accompanied
emesis and vomiting occur both during the day and at night
. Convalescent stage is characterized by reducing the number of seizures and
alleviating cough. The most severe course of the disease is in children younger than 1 year
.

Third For children aged up to 15 years and adults with pertussis usually occurs in
lighter form. Runs like a dry, irritating cough lasting two or more weeks.
May be accompanied by vomiting and vomiting, but without the typical seizures.

System of epidemiological vigilance shingles

Art. 1

The clinical definition of the disease

First The clinical picture is characterized shingles unilateral
sowing maculopapular rash in the range 1-3 dermatomes,
most often in the lumbar or thoracic region.
Sowing can prevent severe pain at the site of the future planting.
The most common complication is post-herpetic neuralgia disease, particularly in patients over 50 years
. Other possible complications include neurological (cerebellitis,
meningoencephalitis, myelitis, intracranial vasculitis) or ocular
(keratitis, iridocyclitis, retinitis) or bacterial superinfection
skin and soft tissues. In immunocompromised individuals threatening systemic
disorder (generalized form). The incubation period of 10-21 days.

Second Infectiousness period begins sowing rash and ends when they are already
all efflorescence stage crusts. Infectivity is localized at
mold 5 times lower than with varicella.
Infectious vesicular fluid in generalized form and secretions from the upper respiratory tract.

Art. 2
Laboratory diagnosis


Least one of the following criteria:

subclinical reactivation of the virus, as well as cross-reactivity with IgM
antibodies against other herpes viruses, particularly herpes simplex virus
. Therefore, their capture isolated from one sample to be regarded as insufficient
license. Cases must be verified
significant increase in levels of total or IgG antibodies.
Correct interpretation of the results of serological tests must be taken into account clinical,
laboratory and epidemiological data.

^ 1), which expressed suspicion of the disease belt
hazing, paying special attention to pregnant women and immunosuppressed persons,
by far not had chickenpox or have not been properly vaccinated.

6th For administration hyperimmune human immunoglobulin is necessary to assess the severity
exposure. Generalized shingles is as contagious as chickenpox
and should therefore be hyperimmune globulin human
filed within 72 hours of contact with the infection in pregnant or persons
severely immunosuppressed, which in the past not had chickenpox or || | were vaccinated with two doses of vaccine. Only if Omitted
interval of 72 hours of contact with the disease, the alternative is
administration of therapeutic doses of antiviral drugs in the seventh day of contact with
infection.

chickenpox, for which there has not been 3 days after contact with sick
.

8th For susceptible persons who were in contact with the disease, has
medical supervision, if indicated, will last for a maximum incubation period, it is
21 days. If such a person has filed a human hyperimmune globulin
period is extended to 40 days.

9th Children who are susceptible to infection and have been in contact with the belt
herpes, are due to the low infectivity accepted into collective
device without restrictions.
