- W2014411265 abstract "Outbreaks of infectious diseases have a way of grabbing the public imagination that outstrips any other medical event. The first decade of the 21st century has seen anthrax spores in the US mail, severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian influenza A H5N1, and now a pandemic of influenza A H1N1 (so called swine flu), which have generated a level of media and public attention that has at times bordered on the hysterical. In reality, the first influenza pandemic for more than 40 years is the only one of these events to have affected the lives of most people. Now that the northern hemisphere is entering the season during which the incidence of influenza is typically highest, a second wave of cases caused by the pandemic H1N1 virus is occurring. Pharmaceutical companies have been working flat out since May to develop vaccines against the pandemic virus, and sufficient vaccine is now becoming available to begin mass immunisation campaigns. Children are usually among the groups most vulnerable to influenza, and this is certainly the case with the pandemic H1N1 virus. And children under 5 years old will be given priority for vaccination against influenza. Many parents are rightly concerned about how to protect their child from influenza infection, how to treat a sick child, and whether vaccination is safe and appropriate. Terence Stephenson has set out to address parental concerns in Swine Flu: What Parents Need To Know. As President of the UK Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Stephenson could hardly be better qualified. He answers questions such as what are the symptoms of pandemic influenza and how can they be treated, what is the role of antiviral drugs, antibiotics, and vaccines, how dangerous is the virus, and how can its spread be prevented. Stephenson's advice is commendably evidence-based, and his dissection of the evidence is presented in language that should be understood by a lay audience. The information is up-to-date to at least early September, incorporating, for example, a discussion of adverse events related to the use of antiviral drugs from May, 2009. The busting of myths around the use of vaccines is particularly welcome. Stephenson also draws upon his many years of clinical experience to illuminate his opinions. The book is targeted at a UK audience, but parents everywhere will appreciate the practical information on how to manage a child sick with an upper-respiratory-tract infection. For the concerned parent, investing in this book will be more cost effective than hours spent trawling the internet for advice." @default.
