Me, my mother, and my father have all had what we're calling "Flumonia". It's like the flu & pneumonia all in one! It's miserable, and we think it is some type of virus. Neither of my parents went to the doctor (because they don't have insurance), but used some antibiotics for pneumonia and were sick for about a week. Now, I have it, and I will be going to the doctor in the morning.
I said all that to say this: It has had a 2-week incubation period for all of us.
Father was sick for 1 week, 2 weeks later, Mother gets it.
Mother was sick for a week, 2 weeks later, I get it.
My brother should be next. But let's hope not! Lysol!
Maybe you have what I have?
The term flu covers a lot of territory and is often misused to refer to unrelated viral or bacterial stomach ailments, often accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
The true flu (influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by a number of somewhat related viruses. Its main symptoms are coughing, sore throat, nasal discharge, and possible headache, chills and fever. The fever and other symptoms, in most cases, subside in a few days.
If you have a persistent fever lasting two weeks, there is a good chance you have something other than the flu, or you have developed a coincident pneumonia in addition to your bout with the flu - this is not uncommon.
In any case, a 2-week fever is reason enough to see a doctor, no matter what the cause.
stomach flu is nothing but the gastroenteritis.it is gastric irritation caused due to various factors.factors causing stomach fluit is caused due to virus,bacteria,protozoa,lactic irritation.,e.t.c.mainly it was well known as stomach flu in case of irritation due to virus.types of virus causing stomach flu are1.rotavirus2.adenovirus3.calicivirus4.astrovirusWhen a person becomes infected with stomach virus, the virus begins to multiply within the small intestine. After approximately 1 to 2 days, depending on the virus, stomach flu symptoms can appear. This period between the stomach flu transmission and the start of symptoms is the "stomach flu incubation period." In some cases, the stomach flu incubation period can be as short as 4 hours. Is a Person Contagious During the Stomach Flu Incubation Period?Whether or not a person is contagious during the stomach flu incubation period will depend on which stomach flu virus the person is infected with. For example, with a rotavirus infection, the person is contagious during the stomach flu incubation period. This person is also contagious while experiencing stomach flu symptoms . Once the diarrhea has ended, a person with rota virus gastro enteritis is no longer contagious.In the case of a norovirus infection (including Norwalk virus), a person is not usually contagious during the stomach flu incubation period. People infected with norovirus gastroenteritis are usually contagious from the moment they begin feeling ill to at least 3 days after recovery. Some people may be contagious for as long as 2 weeks after recovery
The incubation period for shingles is 2 to 3 weeks. This incubation period is the same for chicken pox as well.
the incubation period is from 2 hours to 5days, but has an average of 2-3 days
Sinus infection and common cold, although considered as similar conditions. The incubation period of common cold is 2-3 days.
The incubation period for the flu virus is typically between 1-4 days, with symptoms usually appearing within 2 days of exposure. However, it can vary depending on the individual's immune system and other factors. It is important to seek medical advice if you suspect you have been exposed to the flu virus.
The incubation phase of a disease is the time period that elapses between exposure to a disease causative agent or a pathogenic organism and when the first symptoms occur, for example incubation period of Cellulitis is 1 day, and that of Influenza is 2 days.
After the virus enters the body, there is a 12-14 day incubation period
Incubation period
Its the same for all mammals(as far as I know). Varies greatly. A few days to a year. Typically 1 to 3 months, but anywhere from about a week to about a year.
The incubation period for alligator eggs is typically around 65 days. The duration can vary slightly depending on factors like temperature and humidity during incubation. The eggs are typically laid in a nest that helps regulate these conditions to ensure successful hatching.
For strep pharyngitis (strep throat) the incubation period is 1 to 2 weeks.
Influenza has a gestation period of 1-4 days with an average of 2 days.
