    MOMENTAL DISEASE - dangerous disease but have preventive medicine

    • Meningococcal disease is septicemia, often causing severe complications of meningitis

    • It is a dangerous disease spread through the respiratory tract

    • The ultimate form can quickly die within 24 hours

    • The reservoir of meningococcal bacteria in nature is human. The main source of transmission is patients and carriers

    • In the past outbreaks, there may be more than 25% of infected people do not show obvious manifestations and up to 50% of healthy people carry meningococcal bacteria.

    • If a person is infected, the contacts must take preventive medicine

    • The disease is very dangerous, but there are vaccines to prevent 

    • If your baby has had AC meningococcal injection 3 years ago, parents need to give their baby a reminder injection with only 1 shot.

    😍😍 LET’S GO TO GET INJECTION OF THE ACWY CRANE

    - Children from 9 months to under 2 years old: 2 doses at least 3 months apart

    - From 2 to 55 years: 1 single-dose - only repeated in some special cases.

    MASKED HYPERTENSION
    Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
