(KCRA)Sacramento County health officials warn RSV and flu cases on the rise in region
萨克拉门托县卫生官员警告说，RSV和流感病例在该地区上升
Northern California health officials said on Wednesday that they are reporting an uptick in both RSV cases and the flu in the region.
北加州卫生官员周三表示，他们报告该地区RSV病例和流感病例都在上升。
"We are also seeing an uptick in higher than average daily census for this time of year and seeing the complications of RSV," Dr. Zoey Goore, with Kaiser Permanente, said on Wednesday in a news conference with medical experts across Sacramento County. "We're also seeing some pretty significant complications of the flu."
Kaiser Permanente的佐伊·戈尔(Zoey Goore)博士周三在萨克拉门托县的医学专家举行的新闻发布会上说，“RSV和流感病例在该地区大幅度上升，并且都有相当严重的并发症。”
RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is spiking across the country.
RSV，或呼吸道合胞病毒，在全国范围内急剧上升。
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says most kids catch RSV at some point before they turn two years old.
美国疾病控制和预防中心表示，大多数感染RSV儿童在两岁以内。
"Virtually every child gets RSV between zero and three years of age, and if we think of the last two and a half years of mitigation efforts in place we saw record-low numbers of RSV, influenza and other respiratory viruses," said Dr. Dean Blumberg, with UC Davis Health.
加州大学戴维斯分校健康中心的迪安·布隆伯格博士说:“事实上，每个感染RSV的孩子在0岁到3岁之间。”
Symptoms may look like a common cold and include runny nose, decreased appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing. They typically last a week or two and clear up with rest and fluids.
症状可能看起来像普通的感冒，包括流鼻涕、食欲减退、咳嗽、打喷嚏、发烧和喘息。它们通常会持续一到两周，然后通过休息和喝水来消除。
But in some children, especially young infants, RSV can be dangerous, leading to dehydration, breathing trouble and more serious illnesses such as bronchiolitis or pneumonia.
但对于一些儿童，特别是年幼的婴儿来说，RSV可能是危险的，会导致脱水、呼吸困难和更严重的疾病，如细支气管炎或肺炎。
Health officials said there is a significant increase in ER visits and hospital admissions with children who have RSV. However, Blumberg did say they are not seeing the same levels that the East Coast is seeing where there aren't enough hospital beds for children.
卫生官员表示，患有呼吸道合胞病毒的儿童急诊就诊和住院人数显著增加。然而，布隆伯格确实表示，他们看到的水平与东海岸没有足够的儿童医院床位的水平不同。
He warned that things can "change quickly."
他警告说，情况可能会“迅速变化”。
"We have been watching this progression coming from the East Coast for several weeks now and have put a lot of practices in place in anticipation," said Dr. Craig Swanson, with Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento Children’s Center.
萨克拉门托儿童中心萨特医疗中心的克雷格·斯旺森(Craig Swanson)医生说:“我们几周来一直在关注来自东海岸的这一进展，并在预期中采取了很多措施。”
Doctors representing different health systems across Northern California all echoed that they are working to increase capacity at all the hospitals in the region to take care of the children through this time.
代表北加州不同卫生系统的医生们都表示，他们正在努力提高该地区所有医院的能力，以便在这段时间内照顾这些儿童。
"I can't give you a specific number for the increase in admissions, but we are seeing definitely more consults, definitely more patient admissions. Dignity (Health) and Mercy San Juan are prepared to expand our pediatric beds that we currently have so we're doing the best we can to accommodate this increase that we're seeing," said Dr. Lindsey Demetral, with Mercy San Juan Medical Center Dignity Health.
“我不能给你入院人数增加的具体数字，但我们肯定看到了更多的咨询，肯定看到了更多的患者入院。健康和仁慈圣胡安准备扩大我们目前拥有的儿科床位，所以我们正在尽我们最大的努力来适应我们看到的这种增长，”圣胡安尊严医疗中心的林赛·德米特拉尔医生说。
RSV typically hits children the hardest who are aged six months old and younger due to lower immune system support. However, toddlers and kindergarten-aged children are the ones needing more respiratory support at the moment, Demetral said.
由于免疫系统支持较低，呼吸道合胞病毒通常对6个月及以下的儿童影响最大。然而，学步儿童和幼儿园儿童的病例目前更多一些，Demetral说。
She said that is probably because toddlers weren't being exposed to RSV with children not in school, more people wearing masks, and being more vigilant with COVID-19.
她说，这可能是因为儿童不在学校，幼儿没有接触到RSV，更多的人戴着口罩，对COVID-19更加警惕。
"That means that all those children, they missed out on getting RSV for the first time and so these older toddlers are getting RSV and I think that's what's driving some of the older children to go to the hospital with complications," Blumberg said.
布隆伯格说:“这意味着所有这些孩子，他们第一次错过了感染RSV的机会，所以这些年龄较大的幼儿正在感染RSV，我认为这是驱使一些年龄较大的儿童因并发症去医院的原因。”
Health officials warned that children with asthma are at greater risk of seeing complications from RSV.
卫生官员警告说，患有哮喘的儿童出现呼吸道合胞病毒并发症的风险更大。
Flu cases also up across the country
流感病例也在全国范围内上升
So far this season, there have been an estimated 1.6 million flu illnesses and 13,000 hospitalizations. Flu activity is most intense in some of the areas where RSV is fading, including the Southeast, according to CDC data.
到目前为止，这个季节估计已有160万人感染流感，1.3万人住院治疗。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，流感活动在RSV消退的一些地区最为强烈，包括东南部。
Health officials urge people to get their flu vaccine now, ahead of the usually busy sick season.
卫生官员敦促人们现在就接种流感疫苗，赶在通常繁忙的生病季节之前。
"All of the children that have been hospitalized with complications from the flu did not have their flu vaccine yet this year," Goore said.
古尔说:“今年所有因流感并发症住院的儿童都还没有接种流感疫苗。”
There is not yet a vaccine against RSV.
目前还没有针对RSV的疫苗。
