Many community health centers have started to provide influenza testing services for local residents amid the flu season.
 

"After the normal registration process, patients can do an influenza antigen test, and the results will be ready in about half an hour," medical staff at the Second Community Health Service Center in Hujialou, Chaoyang district, told the Global Times. "If the test results are positive, the pharmacy is equipped with oseltamivir and other drugs to facilitate treatment for residents of the jurisdiction."
 

On Thursday, the National Influenza Center released its 10th weekly influenza report. As of March 12, a total of 807 influenza-related outbreaks had been reported, adding to the 720 reported in the ninth week of the year. So far, more than 1,500 influenza outbreaks have been reported across the country over the last two weeks.
 

Majiapu Community Health Center opened the A/H1N1 virus testing service in early March. "The demand from nearby residents is increasing. Since the service opened, 20 to 40 people have come to test the antigen every day, with more than 50 people at the peak." According to Luan Ran, deputy director of the center, a rapid test for swine flu antigen is also available. Patients can wait 30 minutes to get the test results, and doctors will treat the patients based on clinical symptoms.
 

According to the Community Health Service Management Center of Chaoyang district, 38 community health centers in the district currently offer influenza virus tests, and 52 have oseltamivir to help patients.
 

北京多家社区医院提供流感检测服务

近期北京流感高发,多家社区卫生服务中心配合居民需求,提供流感检测服务。其中,大部分社区采用的检测方法为抗原检测,相对便捷,出报告时间较短。
 

14日18时,仍有家长带着患儿陆续来到海淀区学院路社区卫生服务中心儿科门诊就诊,大部分是来检测甲流的。“孩子班上不少同学都请假了,今天她也发高烧了。一下班我就赶快带她来社区医院,想检查一下。”一名候诊家长说。
 

该中心主任佘瑞芳介绍,由于近期流感高发,为配合居民需求,学院路社区卫生服务中心自2月底开设了流感病毒检测的项目,同时中心检验科也配套相应延长服务时间。由于学院路周边学校多,来检测、治疗流感的多为学生,15日16时至20时,该中心就为十几名孩子检测了流感病毒。“家长们希望尽早确诊,以尽快对孩子展开对症治疗。”佘瑞芳说,中心不仅备有奥司他韦等抗病毒药物,儿科还可延时为患儿提供推拿、按摩等非药物治疗,以缓解甲流带来的临床症状。
