The Treatment of Influenza in India

چکیده
Sib,?To lower the high rate of mortality which has accompanied the recent epidemic of influenza, it is necessary to minimise the effects of the toxins upon the heart and lungs, and fortify these organs against the attacking forces. It is better to be pessimistic and anticipate complications than treat them when they appear, just as an experienced motorist prepares for a steep incline or decline by accelerating or reducing his speed before arriving at a hill. The first essential in cases of influenza is absolute rest from the commencement of the disease, and many fatal cases have

متن کاملA Narrative Review of Influenza: A Seasonal and Pandemic Disease
Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by the influenza A or B virus. It often occurs in outbreaks and epidemics worldwide, mainly during the winter season. Significant numbers of influenza virus particles are present in the respiratory secretions of infected persons, so infection can be transmitted by sneezing and coughing via large particle droplets. The mean duration of influenza v...
متن کاملThe Potential Effect of Glycyrrhiza Glabra on Early Step of Influenza Virus Replication
Background and Aims: The emergence of drug-resistant influenza viruses has become a serious threat for human and animal populations. Glycyrrhiza glabra (Gg) is a traditional medicine clinically used for the treatment of viral respiratory infection symptoms in most countries. We evaluated the effects of the herb on influenza virus replication in human lung cultured cells (A549) following the det...

متن کاملStructure Optimization of Neuraminidase Inhibitors as Potential Anti-influenza (H1N1Inhibitors) Agents Using QSAR and Molecular Docking Studies
The urgent need of neuraminidase inhibitors (NI) has provided an impetus for understanding the structure requisite at molecular level. Our search for selective inhibitors of neuraminidase has led to the identification of pharmacophoric requirements at various positions around acyl thiourea pharmacophore. The main objective of present study is to develop selective NI, with least toxicity and dru...
