CDPHE recognizes the ‘challenging’ reporting delay according to the mites.

Denver -Colorado has not yet occurred measles, but it is raising concerns that the virus will not be widely known in the state -of -the -art community throughout the state due to the day reporting of highly contagious diseases.

So far, two of the three measles in Colorado have been reported to health officials for more than a week after the patient first treated his symptoms.

Pueblo’s Colorado Clinic waited to report the suspected measles for nine days to the main health officials, and only after the test results returned to the virus. The most recent incident in Archuleta County took eight days to report to the state health authorities.

sugar State health regulationsBoth should be reported in the CDPHE within 4 hours after suspected diagnosis.

Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the main infectious scholar of CDPHE, told Denver7 that most of the Colorado’s infectious diseases will be submitted to the main health through an automated electronic laboratory system.

Herlihy said, “There is a difference in the diseases that are at risk of public health such as Covid-19 or Covid, saying,“ There is a difference that we call our providers and call us to call us from the main health department or local public health institutions. ”

Herlihy was the first person to admit how difficult it was for the medical staff working in the clinical environment.

“When you think about busy clinical practice, emergency room or emergency treatment (facility) or clinic, you know … Public health is not necessarily the best for them, and their focus will cure the patient.” “We know that it may be difficult to report to public health.”

Herlihy says that CDPHE has directly cooperated with the provider to recall how important it is to immediately report the suspected measles that can occur in the state as the state continues to process the multi -state occurrence so far. I killed two children and one adult.

It is not so simple to report measles to the state.

As the number of measles continues to be passed throughout the state, people may think that reporting measles to the state is as easy to pick up.

Herlihy quickly eliminated the concept. “Of course it’s not black and white. There will be gray here.”

She generally said that if a clinician suspected that a patient could have a measles, he would call and contact CDPHE or local public health institutions. When the phone is answered, consultation continues.

“The call is not just a suspicion of measles,” Herlihy said.

The chief infectious scholar of the Lord told Denver7 that risk assessments would include talking about the patient’s symptoms and exposure troops to the clinical box.

“Did this patient travel internationally? Do you travel out of the Lord? And (we request), is this patient not to be vaccinated or vaccinated? And is it known?” Herlihy explained. “Unfortunately, especially for adults, it is not often known.”

In total, all information will lead to a risk assessment of cases where CDPHE is classified as low, normal or risk. Herlihy says, “And the next step of the test according to priority or risk levels.

In high -risk cases, the state sends a sample to the CDPHE laboratory of the patient for prompt testing. The same is true for the right case. She said she would be left to clinical cases, and he could decide that the risk was too low and no test was needed.

CDPHE said, “We didn’t focus on punitive behavior” on the clinic.

Herlihy said despite delays in the report of Pueblo and Archuleta County’s clinic reports, despite delays in the risk of implementation of measles, the institution did not punish the clinic in order not to immediately warn the measles.

“Our focus is to actually prevent the importance of reporting such a suspect, and we are not focused on punitive behavior in this clinic environment where we want to work with punitive behavior, especially public health and want to do the right thing.

“I think clinic, emergency treatment (facilities) and emergency rooms are a complex environment with many competitive priorities. So we know it can be difficult.” “Of course, we want providers to report to us actively and urge them to do it, but this is actually focusing here.”

Where can we stand and protect ourselves in Colorado’s measles?

According to Herlihy, Colorado usually starts after 7 to 14 days, but it is still too early to know if Colorado is suffering from measles, but according to Herlihy, it can take up to 21 days.

These symptoms are heat, cough, runny nose and red eyes, and the rash is generated by the oscillation of the rash on the oscillation, and after about 3-5 days after the beginning of the symptoms, it spreads to the rest of the body. A person with measles is contagious four days before the rash appears, she said.

The Pueblo case in Colorado has still failed to summarize the incubation period. The second and third cases of the Lord will not cross the incubation period threshold until April 23 and April 27, respectively.

From the Pueblo case (first to the first) to the southwest Delhi and Café (1873 S. Pueblo BLVD) and the southern Colorado Clinic (109 South Burlington DRIVE) between 3:30 pm and 6 pm on March 22.

This latest case seems to have nothing to do with the other two, and the patient is raising concerns among state health officials because they did not travel outside, even if they did not travel outside. This can mean that the virus is already spreading to an unknowingly detected among sensitive individuals.

Those who are worried about potential exposure to measles should call the medical service provider before they are treated so that others are not infected with the virus.

While vitamin A plays a role in treating measles, the state health authorities said that the role should not be prevented and provided vitamin A to those with measles.

The best way to prevent measles is to be vaccinated, and state health authorities continue to be stressed.

The single capacity of the MMR vaccine provides 93%protection for measles, while the second increases to 97%. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),. Those who have received the full series of MMR shots after exposure to the virus do not need another, and those who are not exposed to the virus can get the MMR vaccine 72 hours after exposure (but before the symptoms appear), the state health officials said before.

measles It was declared that it was removed from the United States in 2000There is always a risk of a small measles when travelers who have not been vaccinated come to the United States from a country that has not yet removed the disease, but no longer exists in the country.

In the last few years, the status is in danger of “confirmed cases of this disease have been abnormally and continuously increased.” According to a recent report, Pan American Health Organization (Paho).

As of Friday, 607 confirmed measles have been reported in 22 states in the United States, and most of the overwhelming majority of incidents have occurred among young people who are not vaccinated between 5 and 19 years of age. According to CDC.
