Prior to 2015, CDC’s National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) did not receive electronic data about incident cases of specific viral hemorrhagic fevers; instead
data were collected in aggregate as “viral hemorrhagic fevers”. Beginning in 2015, NNDSS has been updated to receive data for each of the viral hemorrhagic fevers listed
below. In addition to the four cases of Ebola diagnosed in the United States to date in 2014, six residents of the United States have been medically evacuated to the United
States for care after developing Ebola in West Africa. Ten of the 11 Viral Hemorrhagic Fever cases reported for 2014 are confirmed as Ebola and one as Lassa fever.

VARICELA / LECHINA / VARICELA ZOOSTER / CULEBRILLA










Dermatitis Herpética, Herpes Zooster o Culebrilla es el resultado de una reactivación del virus de la Varicela Zooster, que, dormido dentro del cuerpo se reactiva y aparece en las piel siguiendo el trayecto metamérico de musculos, piel y nervios, originando una neurodermatitis, típica en las costillas y cintura y que puede comenzar con lesiones asisladas en otras partes del cuerpo, el cuero cabelludo y sofoco o ardor digestivo y prurito y malestar general. Al aparecer la culebrilla es facil identificarla. El dolor originado por la neuritis, puede ser molesto y necesitar mejores cuidados. La Vacuna Zooster evita LA CULEBRILLA.

Introducción

La varicela es una infección causada por el virus de la varicela zoster. La mayoría de los casos se da en niños menores de 15 años de edad, pero también puede observarse en niños más grandes y adultos. Se disemina muy fácilmente de una persona a otra.
El síntoma más típico de esta enfermedad es una molesta erupción en la piel que causa picazón. Esta erupción, se transforma en ampollas con líquido que luego forman costras. Generalmente, aparece en la cara, pecho, espalda y luego se extiende al resto del cuerpo. Otros síntomas pueden incluir:
  • Fiebre
  • Dolor de cabeza
  • Cansancio
  • Falta de apetito
La enfermedad suele ser leve y dura de 5 a 10 días. Las cremas y lociones con calamina y baños de avena pueden ayudar con la picazón. El acetaminofén puede ayudar a tratar la fiebre. No tome aspirina. La combinación de este medicamento con la varicela puede causar el síndrome de Reye.
Algunas veces, la varicela, causa problemas serios. Los adultos, bebés, adolescentes, embarazadas y aquellos con sistemas inmunes debilitados suelen padecer casos más graves. Quizás necesiten tomar medicamentos antivirales.
Generalmente, una vez que se adquiere varicela, el virus permanece en el cuerpo aún después de haber sanado. Probablemente no tendrá varicela otra vez, pero el virus puede causar culebrilla en los adultos. Una vacuna contra la varicela puede ayudar a prevenir la mayoría de los casos o hacerlos menos severos.

Medicine and Allergy has nothing to do with Religion, Herbal Medicine and Accupunture- unless the Immunological Basis of the SPECIALTY are wrong!

Conclusion Introduction and Executive Summary Declaration of the WAO Conclusion The World Allergy Organization (WAO) is an international umbrella organization whose members consist of 92 regional and national allergology and clinical immunology societies from around the world. These regional and national societies are an excellent resource for knowledge and expertise. It is strongly recommended that public health and government officials, medical school leaders and patient groups collaborate with these societies to promote excellence in care for patients with allergic diseases. As members of the World Allergy Organization, the regional and national allergy, asthma and clinical immunology societies contribute to the work of the WAO Councils and are available to assist with enquiries about how best to implement these recommendations.

EXPOSICION AL SOL / ALERGIA ACTINICA / DERMATITIS SOLAR




Exposición al sol

Otros nombres: Exposición solar, Tomar sol 

Introducción

Los rayos ultravioleta (UV) son una forma invisible de radiación. Pueden penetrar la piel y dañar las células. Las quemaduras de sol son un signo de daño en la piel. El bronceado tampoco es saludable. Aparece después que los rayos del sol ya mataron algunas células y dañaron otras. Los rayos UV pueden causar lesiones en la piel durante cualquier estación del año y a cualquier temperatura. También pueden causar problemas en los ojos, arrugas, manchas en la piel y cáncer de piel.
Para protegerse:
  • Manténgase alejado del sol cuando sus rayos son más fuertes (entre las 10 a.m. y las 4 p.m.)
  • Use protector solar con un SPF de 15 o más
  • Utilice ropa protectora
  • Use anteojos de sol con buena cobertura que le brinden 100 por ciento de protección contra los rayos UV
  • Evite las lámparas solares y las camas para broncearse
Revise su piel con regularidad para detectar cambios en el tamaño, la forma, el color o la textura de sus marcas de nacimiento, lunares y manchas. Esos cambios pueden ser un signo de cáncer en la piel.
