Symptoms of gastrointestinal influenza

summary

According to the clinical manifestations and severity of influenza, influenza is mainly divided into: typical influenza, mild influenza, pneumonia influenza, gastrointestinal influenza, toxic influenza, nervous influenza, etc. Most of the patients presented with typical influenza. The main symptoms were high fever, headache, body pain, fatigue, sore throat and cough. These manifestations are mainly respiratory symptoms of systemic poisoning caused by high fever. Let's talk about the symptoms of gastrointestinal influenza.

Symptoms of gastrointestinal influenza

Some patients infected with influenza virus, fever and respiratory symptoms are not obvious, but appeared more obvious gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and so on. It is a special type of influenza, and it is also caused by influenza virus, but the clinical manifestations are different, so it is called gastrointestinal influenza. Because the performance of gastrointestinal influenza is similar to gastroenteritis, it is easy to be mistaken for gastroenteritis.

Gastrointestinal influenza mostly occurs in the elderly and children with weak digestive tract function, which is not easy to distinguish from acute gastroenteritis, but there are some differences between the two: generally, patients with gastroenteritis have a history of unclean diet, and will not be accompanied by respiratory symptoms, stool is mostly loose stool, watery stool, mucus stool, and accompanied by abdominal pain; Pyorrhea of gastrointestinal influenza is rare, and often accompanied by respiratory symptoms. Stool routine test has no specificity. The symptoms of patients with gastroenteritis can be alleviated by the use of regulating intestinal flora and antidiarrheal drugs, but the effect of the above drugs in patients with gastrointestinal influenza is not good.

Although the main clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal influenza are diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms, its transmission route is the same as other influenza, which is respiratory tract infection. After the influenza virus enters the respiratory tract, it invades the digestive tract mucosa through the blood flow, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms.
