Havetun hotay contagion, mere karona nahi
Director of Viral Infections at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Dr. Ajay Shukla said to give information that while Corona has been contained, many other viral infections like H3N2 are still going on. This exposure can be serious for people with low immunity. It will help a lot if people continue to use masks, he said. Also, we are deciding to start vaccination for the virus. H3N2 infection is currently there but it is not the corona type, he said. Dr. Amit Suri, MD (Chest) of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital said that, we find 20-25% patients infected with the virus every day. Many patients are old. There is a need to follow the precautions taken during the Corona epidemic, he said.
H3N2 is the cause of respiratory disease
In this context, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has stated that Influenza A subtype H3N2 is the major cause of current respiratory illness in the country. ECMR-DHR (Department of Health Reforms) has established pan-respiratory virus surveillance system in 30 VRLDs (viral research and diagnostic laboratories). According to ICMR, almost half of all patients admitted for Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) as well as outpatients receiving treatment for influenza-like illness are found to be infected with influenza A H3N2.
what are the symptoms of the disease
The number of patients infected with either virus or subtype is higher than those infected with other influenza subtypes, states the ICMR. About 92 percent of patients infected with influenza A H3N2 have fever, 86 percent have cough, 27 percent have respiratory distress. It would have happened and 16 percent people would have felt homesick. Apart from this, 16 percent people had pneumonia symptoms and 6 percent people had asthma attack.
advice to stop using antibiotics
Indian Medical Association (IMA) has given important information regarding the use of antibiotics. IMA has asked the doctors to give only treatment related to cancer. They said that there is no need to give antibiotics for that. The IMA said that people have started taking antibiotics like anthracin and amoxiclav on a regular basis. Once he felt bad that he should stop. This is the need to stop. This is because antibiotics would have been ineffective in the body. When antibiotics are actually used, they will not work because of repulsion, the IMA has said.
