Transcripción
00:04Many years ago, I started with a molestia, an ardor, a lot of rasquiness,
00:11a lot of pain, a lot of pain, a lot of intense, intense, intense,
00:17which obviously forced me to go into medical services,
00:21and they obviously told me that it was a herpes zoster disease.
00:40And obviously the consequences and the issue of the medical treatment that started from that moment,
00:47and the insoportable pain, that, as I say, really made me feel a bit of pain.
00:53When there are symptoms that don't coincide with what usual,
00:56the routine is altered and the need to look for a medical explanation.
01:01In the case of William, the diagnosis was herpes zoster.
01:04The herpes zoster or culebrilla, as also known as,
01:07is a disease caused by the virus of the varicela zoster,
01:10which is the same that causes the varicela in childhood.
01:13It is a disease that is dolorous, that generates lesions ampollosas
01:17in the torso of the body and that appears with the reactivation
01:21of this virus of the varicela zoster that we have already presented previously.
01:24What are the factors of the risk?
01:26The main factor of the risk is the immunosupressions,
01:28when our immune system, for some reason,
01:31it doesn't work properly.
01:32There are enfermedades such as VIH,
01:34oncology, rheumatology.
01:36Also, chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension,
01:39and cardiovascular diseases can be affected.
01:41The second important factor is the age.
01:43When we pass 50 years,
01:45we increase the risk of the disease
01:47by a phenomenon called immunosenescence,
01:49which is no more than the envejecimiento
01:50of the immune system.
01:51According to a survey by GSK
01:53in the Semana of Action against the Herpes Zoster,
01:57it reported that 46% of people
02:00who have a chronic disease
02:01have no knowledge of the risk that they present.
02:05This is generating a balance
02:07between the disease and the perception of the herpes zoster.
02:10I am a contender.
02:11I have a firm of contender.
02:13I have 30 years ago.
02:14This year we have 30 years.
02:15I have been with the office
02:17tomorrow, afternoon, afternoon,
02:19afternoon, afternoon,
02:20I have three turns a day.
02:21And obviously,
02:22I also have a little bit of stress.
02:25I am a diabetic insulin dependent.
02:28I apply three times insulin a day.
02:31After,
02:32let's say,
02:33a 15 years,
02:36I am a herpes zoster.
02:38Hace three years,
02:40I repeat the herpes zoster,
02:42as I mentioned,
02:44with the intense pain
02:45and the pain
02:47and knowing more
02:48how to identify the disease
02:51as a result.
02:51In the case of William,
02:53there are two important factors.
02:54The first is the age of 50 years.
02:55There are studies that say
02:56that the 99% of people
02:58are going to reactivate the virus
02:59or have the possibility
03:00of reactivating the virus.
03:01And one of the three
03:01throughout their life.
03:03The second factor is the diabetes.
03:04Where we see
03:05the patients with this disease
03:07have a 38% more risk
03:09of reactivating the disease.
03:10And additionally,
03:11in this group
03:12that reactivate the disease,
03:13a 19% will generate
03:14one of the most important
03:16or most frequent
03:17that is the neuralgia
03:18post-herpética,
03:19which is not more
03:20than the persistence
03:20of the disease
03:21for more than six months,
03:22which can even take a few months.
03:24One of the complications
03:25or complications
03:26that can be seen
03:26is the affected
03:27in different organs.
03:28One can be in the face,
03:30affecting the optic nerve
03:31where it can generate
03:32herpes zosterostalmico
03:33which is the final
03:34will be the ceguera.
03:36Another one
03:36will be the nerve facial
03:37and the nerve óptico
03:38which will cause
03:39or sordera
03:40or parálisis facial.
03:41This disease is
03:42so incapacitant
03:43that it can generate
03:45alterations
03:45or trastornos
03:46in what is the quality of life.
04:01It is important
04:02that,
04:03due to this,
04:04consult your medical
04:05about how to prevent
04:06and treat it.
04:06There are some recommendations
04:08such as a balance,
04:10balance,
04:11physical activity
04:12regular
04:12and management
04:13of the stress
04:14is one of the factors
04:16that can be seen
04:17that.
04:18Don't forget
04:19the vaccination
04:19as other measures
04:21of prevention.
04:21Well,
04:22my final recommendation
04:23for all people
04:25is always
04:27to try to take care of us,
04:28to be careful
04:30of the changes
04:31that one has
04:31in the skin,
04:32that one has
04:33in the soul,
04:34that one has
04:34in their health,
04:35because really
04:36the herpes zoster
04:38is a matter of care,
04:39is a matter
04:40that you have to
04:40not subestimate,
04:42is a matter
04:43that you have to
04:43take care of the doctor.
04:44Remember
04:44that the herpes zoster
04:46can be prevented
04:46and treated.
04:47Reconocer
04:48the symptoms
04:49and to be able
04:49to a medical consultation
04:50is essential.
04:52The prevention
04:53and information
04:54are key
04:54to reduce
04:56the impact
04:56of the herpes zoster.
