RE: PINOYS IN IMMUNIZATIONS AFTER DENGVAXIA INCIDENTS

in #steemiteducation7 years ago

Coverage of children vaccinated went down to 60% from 85%. Here's a trivia for all you folks:

Dengue virus has 4 serotypes. If you were infected with one of the four, it's not usually serious. It becomes serious when you are infected by a dengue virus with another variant. Because during the second infection, your body is already too ready to combat the infection.

So ready that they use excess force to eliminate the infection. The host dies due to inflammatory substances launched by the body to "control" the infection. It's like your body indirectly caused your death and not by the virus itself. If you read deeper into this, the phenomenon is called "cytokine storm".

Sort:  

Yeah right .. maybe because of the white blood cells that fought the viruses, right?

Thank you for the info.

The substances produced by WBC and destroyed platelets.
