Yellow fever, as we noted, is an acute, infectious, caused by a virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus.

Man becomes infected following the bite of an infected mosquito, which belongs to the genus Aedes aegypti. The viruses are injected into the subcutaneous tissue level and, after playing locally, it spreads throughout the body to reach the circulatory system.

In America, the infection is under control thanks to the efforts to eradicate the mosquitoes and the development of a vaccine, although in some forested regions have registered some cases.

It occurs in tropical regions throughout the Americas, where the number of reported cases has increased markedly as a result of the outbreak of epidemics in Africa with a high number of deaths. Its global incidence is approximately 1,000 people a year reported officially (it is believed that the real could be 200 times greater), of which 15 to 20% die.

It can take many forms, from mild clinical signs to a picture mortal.Posee an incubation period of three to six days, after which begins the period of infection characterized by chills and high fever, muscle aches, headache and severe lumbar The face becomes red coloration by increasing blood flow to sore eyes and light rejection. This is the period in which viruses are spread by blood (viremia), which lasts three to five days.

Then there is a temporary remission of the table takes about 24 to 48 hours. Finally comes the period of intoxication, in which there is an increase of the above symptoms: skin and mucous membranes are pigmented a yellowing (jaundice), removal of blood from the mouth and stools, vomiting of black, in women are bleeding unrelated to menstruation.

Then these people become dehydrated, your blood pressure decreases significantly, there is increased heart rate and go into shock and / or coma. The mortality of yellow fever is high, particularly in those who evolve with jaundice. The fatal outcome ensues between the seventh and tenth day after the start of infection.

Treatment and prevention

Since there is no specific treatment to remove viral agents, therapeutic measures consist in relieving symptoms and preventing complications. For relief of headaches and to reduce fever, acetaminophen is effective, but not acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin-like drugs) can severely aggravate bleeding. Mild sedation, proper hydration and correction of electrolyte imbalances such as sodium, potassium, calcium, etc.. Are basic measures to prevent further complications. Preventive measures aimed at controlling yellow fever are for the eradication of mosquitoes, improving health conditions and vaccinate people living in areas at risk and those who travel to them. Please note that vaccination can not be performed on children under six, pregnant women, people infected with HIV and those with immune system deficiencies.

Today we know that vitamins are not a homogeneous group of substances, but have enough differences in their chemical composition. They play a lot of different functions involved, among others, in blood clotting, nerve functions, growth, reproduction, defense against infections, digestion and eye function.

Deficiency symptoms can occur in case of an incomplete diet, for example, and when an increase in demand. The need for vitamins increased in case of physical and psychic teen growth phase and pregnant and lactating women and in the elderly.

The retina of the eye is a light container photosensitive structure, characterized by high metabolic activity. Under these conditions (light, high metabolic activity) are created free radicals.

Free radicals are intermediate products which have a harmful effect very violent and destructive. Apart from the pollutants that occur inside the body naturally, there are also environmental substances, like smoke from snuff, the sun (UV light) or other types of radiation, which can form free radicals. These compounds lack an electron in its molecular structure, which gives them great destructive power of oxidation.

There is a theory that free radicals are involved in the genesis of certain ocular pathologies. For this reason, many ophthalmologists are increasingly advocated, particularly the elderly, administration of food supplements containing vitamins, carotenoids and selected minerals (especially zinc) to protect their eye function.

Protection against oxidative stress: Vitamins (Antioxidants)

The sensors radicals (antioxidants) are harmless to the radicals. The body itself also has a natural healing substances (repair enzymes) that trap free radicals. Vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene has an antioxidant effect. Thus, for example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has two free electrons that can be captured by the radicals. While vitamin C is effective in aqueous environments, eg in the aqueous humor of the eye, vitamin E displays his power especially in fatty tissues such as nerve cells and tissues. The number and effectiveness of repair enzymes decrease but throughout life. Without this protective function the cell is damaged.

Recently, increasing evidence pointing to the fact that antioxidants play an important role in the formation of cataracts (clouding of the lens) and macular diseases (degenerative changes in the central area of the retina) and the onset of dry eye problems .

Zinc: It is the most abundant trace element in the eye and a critical component of the antioxidant system in the eyes. Zinc is known to decrease with age. One study has suggested that this mineral may also prevent macular degeneration. Zinc is involved in the metabolism of the retina.

Ginkgo: Ginkgo has shown itself capable of capturing free radicals in the retina. Additionally, increases circulation and protect capillaries.

Copper: It is necessary to prevent copper deficiency can occur when taking a zinc supplement.

Riboflavin and Niacin: The use of these vitamins is associated with reduced risk of cataracts.

Vitamins A, C and E: Nutritional antioxidants reduce free radical activity and thus the damage caused by them, overriding factor in the development of degenerative diseases of the eye.
