The first symptoms of "silent" pneumonia were named in the Novosibirsk region
In the Novosibirsk region, an increase in cases of acute respiratory viral infections has been recorded since the beginning of the school year, and cases of pneumonia have been confirmed in some schools, which has led to the introduction of quarantine for students.
Pneumonia causes symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. However, there may be cases of asymptomatic progression of the disease. Even if there are no obvious signs, laboratory tests confirm the diagnosis.
Ekaterina Litasova noted in an interview with VN.ru that if pneumonia is suspected, it is important to pay attention to a temperature that does not go down well and difficulty breathing with minimal effort.
Rospotrebnadzor reminds about the importance of pneumococcal vaccination and preventive measures during periods of increased risk of the disease.
