The "century baby" Qianqian from mainland China was born in the year 2000 and recently passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 25. Her mother revealed that Qianqian contracted influenza A during the pandemic, experiencing symptoms of fever and abdominal pain. Ultimately, after being treated at home, she fell into a coma and was declared deceased. Experts point out that the impact of the influenza virus on the lungs can trigger an immune storm, leading to complications, and they urge the public to enhance prevention measures, including getting vaccinated against the flu and seeking medical attention in a timely manner.

A woman named 千千 from Shanxi, China, was born at 0:00 on the year 2000, thus referred to as a "century baby." She recently passed away at the age of 25 due to sudden cardiac death. Doctors pointed out that while sudden death appears to occur unexpectedly, many patients had already experienced warning signs in the days or even weeks leading up to the event.

According to reports, 千千's mother mentioned that 千千 was engaged in music-related work in Tianjin. On March 3, she contracted type A influenza, and subsequently exhibited symptoms of fever and abdominal pain. She returned home by bus five days later (March 8), and that evening her family took her to a local hospital for treatment, but she suddenly fell into a coma on the morning of the 9th and unfortunately passed away.

An expert pointed out that when the influenza virus enters the human body, it attacks alveolar epithelial cells, especially those responsible for repairing and maintaining lung function. Once the virus invades the cells, it begins to replicate extensively, triggering a defensive response from the immune system. Macrophages and epithelial cells in the lungs can detect the presence of the virus and release inflammatory signals to summon immune cells for combat. However, an excessive immune response can damage the lung's defense mechanism, allowing bacteria to invade and further increasing the risk of secondary infections, such as severe bacterial pneumonia.

The expert emphasized that influenza is not a disease to be taken lightly; many patients with severe symptoms may initially present only mild symptoms but can quickly worsen, experiencing difficulty breathing and decreased blood oxygen levels. If lung inflammation becomes severe to the point that the patient can no longer breathe independently, intubation or life support may be required. At this point, the survival rate has typically decreased significantly.

Therefore, when facing influenza, simply drinking plenty of water and resting is not enough. Real risk reduction methods should include getting vaccinated against influenza, using antiviral medications early, and seeking immediate medical attention if experiencing high fever or symptoms such as extreme fatigue and difficulty breathing.
