H3N2 Virus Symptoms: Two people died in Karnataka and Haryana due to influenza A, H3N2 virus. Its spread is happening very fast in the country. Due to its rapid spread from air to air, it has become a matter of concern for scientists and doctors. Doctors say that usually the viral is not so serious, but H3N2 has forced everyone to think again. Doctors are trying to find out the reasons that have made the virus serious. At the same time, appealed to the common people who are also getting infected with this virus. They should get it treated immediately.
Is there a connection between pollution and the increase in H3N2?
Doctors say that there are some reasons behind the spread of the H3N2 virus. Among these, the presence of moisture in the weather and pollution is a big reason. An increase is being seen in the number of flu cases this year. This can be attributed to the low temperature as well as low humidity conditions in Delhi-NCR. Low humidity in the weather is considered favourable for the spread of the virus. Apart from this, the high pollution level is causing infection in the respiratory system of the people. Lungs are getting weak due to this. The virus is easily attacking and infecting.
This is how pollution causes harm
The question is how does air pollution cause the rapid spread of the H3N2 virus? It has been revealed in many studies that the presence of particulate matter in the air is worrisome. Small particles of both liquid and solid float in the air. These are so small that they can enter both the lungs and the bloodstream. They cause serious damage. They make the lungs so weak that they cannot even tolerate the attack of any common virus.
A virus cocktail is also dangerous
Doctors say that the cocktail of many types of viruses present in the air is also dangerous for the human body. Adenovirus is also circulating in the air these days. In such a situation, it is difficult to differentiate between influenza and adenovirus. Often both types of virus present themselves with characteristic viral prodromes or almost identical symptoms of the disease. However, redness in the eyes can be seen in adenovirus infection.
