"The disease spread in Azerbaijan is not flu, but paraflu. This disease resembles flu by its symptoms," head infectionist of the republic Namig Aliyev said.
He said that the disease beginning with high temperature, cough and sneezing is not epidemic in Azerbaijan. "Epidemic is the infection of 20-30 men with the same disease. This disease is observed among groups of 5-10 men in Azerbaijan. 500-700 men in Baku, 100 men in each region may have been infected with paraflu," he said. He said that paraflu is a seasonal disease and more people were infected with it last year. Last winter 1000-1500 people had paraflu. Namig Aliyev advised to cure this disease by natural remedies, not by medicines, APA reports. "It is necessary to keep warm, to keep on a diet and obey confinement to bed," he said.
