这个是我一直关心的话题,今天在MGA看到了。拿来给大家看一看。做个参考。
At the time of writing (late January), I have managed to escape catching any of the various flu bugs doing the rounds. (At this point Mrs Gravis and I are both furiously touching wood). My friends avoiding contact with me when they have any kind of infection has certainly helped me. I have them all well trained and they are all very good about it. I think, however, that the main factor has been having a flu injection early last autumn. Yes I know that we can all point to folk who had the jab and went down with flu the next day, but my doctor friends tell me that this is because they were probably already infected before having the injection. Given that myasthenia can be aggravated by a viral infection, I was concerned that the flu injection could have the same effect. My GP assured me that because the vaccine is a 'dead vaccine', meaning that there are no live virus cells involved; there would be no problem.
If you are concerned about catching flu, then next September it would be worthwhile talking to your doctor about being inoculated against flu. My GP tells me that whatever their age, myasthenics fall into the 'at risk' category of people who are entitled to an anti-flu injection. He also puts Mrs Gravis into this category, because she is my carer.
一月末在我写这些的同时,我躲过了疯狂对付感染流感的困扰。当然我的朋友们在患上各种传染病的同时避免了接触我,这对我帮助也不小。他们在这方面都有着很好的训练,也都做的非常好。但是我想,无论如何最大的因素应该还是去年秋天注射的流感疫苗。是的我知道,我们可以指出有些人在注射的第二天就得了流感,但是我的医生朋友告诉我,那是因为他们很可能在注射之前就已经感染了病毒。对于MG患者,感染流感病毒会使病情恶化。所以我很关心流感疫苗会不会有同样的问题,我的顾问确定的告诉我,因为疫苗是死疫苗,也就是意味着那里没有活着的病毒细胞,所以是没有什么问题的。
如果您担心得流感,在下一个九月很有必要请您的医生给您注射疫苗来避免它。我的顾问告诉我,不管是什么年龄,MG都会被划入注射流感疫苗的风险人群,他也是这么做的,因为他是我的守护者。
