How to Stay Out of the Hospital
[This week's column is intended to throw some light on the disease which hit the campus after the Thanksgiving holiday and which now has reached mild epidemic proportions.]
"Flu" is a term loosely used to describe anything from a common cold to a virus pneumonia.
- * *
Really flut—influenza is a distinct disease in itself. In epidemic form, it hits hard, spreads rapidly, lingers only a few weeks in an area, and moves to another community.
Symptoms of the disease are sudden onset with aching muscles and burning eyes, fever, chilliness, and complete willingness of the victim to take to his bed or "be thrown into the hospital." In other words, if there's a flu epidemic in town and you get that beat-up, run-down feeling, you can consider yourself elected.
Laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis is based on finding a lowered number of white blood cells and recovering the causative virus from sputum of the patient.
Common complications are pneumonia, weakening of the heart muscle and ear infections.
The acute symptoms are of short duration but recovery is apt to be slow.
The miracle drugs—sulfas and penicillin—are ineffective.
Now for the silver lining-influenza epidemics promise to be on the way out with the development of a vaccine, now used extensively in the army. A single injection whips up body immunity to influenza for a period long enough to protect against a threatened epidemic or to break the chain of spread of disease.
Until this vaccine is released for general use, protection against flu is of a general nature. Advice for college groups is:
Maintain the best possible state of health by eating, sleeping, and exercising regularly; avoid close contact with the sick; stay out of crowded places; wash the hands frequently; cover up your sneeze and hope your neighbor does the same.
