The second wave of flu that began in Spain surprised experts

After the wave of “influenza A” in the country in November-December, the wave of “influenza B” began in February.

In its report on flu wave B, the Instituto de Salud Carlos III drew attention to the singularity of the fact that flu cases, which are normally expected to decrease towards spring, are now common and that two flu waves occur in one same fall -winter period.

According to the data, it was shared that between February 20 and 26 there were 258 cases of flu for every 100,000 people, and this figure was 270 in mid-February.

Experts pointed out that the body’s resistance decreased against other viruses due to the effects of the measures taken by Covid-19, “Covid-19 affected the immune system, this is a scientifically defined finding. This makes us more prone to all kinds of respiratory diseases. This second wave quickly intensified as life returned to its previous state.

It was stated that the influenza B wave is seen especially in children under 15 years of age.

The Spanish press also wrote about the unusual cases of flu: “If you have not had a fever, runny nose and cough in the last few months, you are lucky.” The influenza B wave was claimed to be at a high level in France, similar to Spain. (AA)
