GRIPPE

Grippe is an acute infectious epidemic disease caused by a virus and marked by depression, distressing fever, acute catarrhal inflammation of the nose, larynx, and bronchi, neuralgic and muscular pains, gastrointestinal disorders, weakness and nervous disturbances. All ages are liable to this disease. It is in severe cases that vomiting is frequent in babies and young children as well.

Like the common cold, grippe is primarily spread between people indoors, especially at schools, nursing houses, and other places where large numbers of people gather. Outbreaks usually occur in the winter and early spring.

There are three types of grippe viruses. All of them are spread from person to person by inhalation of infected droplets from the air. Type A usually is responsible for the large grippe epidemics. This type is constantly changing, with new strains appearing regularly. This results in a new epidemic every few years. Types B and C are not as widespread: type B causes smaller, more localized outbreaks, and type C is less common and usually causes only a mild illness. These types are fairly stable viruses.

It is the typical form of grippe that onset is sudden, beginning with chills, muscular pains and aches in the back and limbs, and bronchitis. Nervous symptoms, e.g., headache and in severe cases convulsions in babies are usually present.

There are mild cases of the disease. The duration of the disease in a mild case is usually three to four days and the temperature is not very high.

It is in severe cases that patient’s temperature is very high. Distressing fever and other symptoms, e.g., acute catarrhal inflammation of the bronchi, muscular pains persist for several days. Sometimes pneumonia develops and even death may occur in two or three days. Therefore it is in very young children or when there are pulmonary complications that grippe is especially serious.

In order to minimize the severity of the attack in grippe and to protect the patient from secondary infection, the patient must go to bed at the beginning of an attack and not to be up again without the approval of his/her physician.

The effects of grippe may persist for a long period of time, therefore a convalescent becomes sensitive to heat, cold, draughts, and so on, he/she easily gets colds, coughs and other respiratory diseases.
