Guangdong cliff cooling, Shenzhen Sufuda search week increased more than 4 times

According to Meituan’s drug-buying health index, the growth rate of drug orders related to influenza A in Shenzhen has slowed down slightly recently, but the search volume is still in a high and volatile trend. This week, the search volume of Sufuda in Shenzhen has increased by more than 4 times. Combined with the impact of the recent super-strong cold air, it is judged that there will be some room for growth in influenza. Home express inspection is also in a high-demand stage.

According to reports, there are currently two ways to place an order for home express inspection: the first is to search for "home express inspection" to enter the detection special page on the "see a doctor and buy medicine" channel of Meituan and Meituan takeaway apps, and click Detect Now to enter the purchase page; the second is to search for "Meituan buy medicine" Mini Program or scan the Mini Program QR code through WeChat to enter the order page. It takes about 3 hours from order placement to sampling to report. In addition to the test results of viruses and bacteria related to 12 respiratory tract infections, there will also be content such as virus and bacteria science popularization and medication rehabilitation suggestions.

There are various types of flu test kits on the market, and doctors say nucleic acid is still the "gold standard".

During the flu-prone period, there are a wide variety of test kits on the market, and some netizens have spontaneous experience. The three common test kits on the market are compared: Meituan Home Quick Test, for example, the nucleic acid test has high sensitivity and strong specificity, which can help early detection and accurate identification of viruses and bacteria; antigen detection is fast and simple, generally results can be obtained within 15 to 30 minutes, but the sensitivity is low and may miss detection; compared with antigen detection, antibody detection overcomes the problem of low sensitivity, but for individuals with low immunity, it may not be able to produce enough antibodies for detection, and there is a chance of false positives, which is still not stable enough.

In this regard, Li Dong, director of the general department of infection at Beijing You’an Hospital, said in an interview with the People’s Daily that nucleic acid testing is the gold standard for pathogen detection, and it is meaningful to clarify the pathogen at this stage.

Recently, the temperature across the country has dropped sharply, and the epidemic period of influenza disease has not yet come to an end. The relevant person in charge of Meituan Pharmacy Service Center reminded that if you feel unwell, you can first test to determine the cause, then consult online or offline, and follow the doctor’s instructions. Do not buy or take medicine blindly. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining healthy living habits, try not to go to crowded places, wear a mask when you go out, and do a good job of disinfection and personal protection.
