Active influenza virus for 4 days

Active influenza virus for 4 days - When exposed to cold, as if everyone away from you. They are certainly afraid of contracting the flu virus you are carrying. However, a study in France showed that a person is only vulnerable to spread the virus during the first four days.

In general, patients are at risk of transmitting influenza flu just one day after she first showed signs of influenza. Very rarely there are people with flu viruses that infect more than three days.

"We found that people with the flu have a high rate of spread of the virus during the first four days. Afterwards, they are safe to return to their daily activities," said researcher Anne Cori from the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, as reported by Vitals.

Previously, studies have shown that people with influenza can spread the virus from one to eight days. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu patients capable of transmitting the virus for five to seven days after the beginning of the flu.

Because quite difficult to determine how long the ability to transmit the virus flu patients, a recent study using an alternative method. They looked at data collected through laboratory experiments on people infected with flu.

This study shows that a person can spread the flu virus since she first showed signs of the flu. This is the unconscious by many people and is often the cause of the spread of influenza virus.

Patients can reduce the spread of influenza virus by up to 50 percent if he is kept and maintained for 16 hours after flu symptoms.

Meanwhile, the professor from Ohio State University, Randy Wexler, suggested that the patient was able to transmit the virus flu influenza during sau or two days before they show signs of flu. He also suggested that people who get the flu stay home for 24 hours after a fever or influenza symptoms.
