Rapidly increasing cases of respiratory diseases have been reported in Hyderabad during the last month. According to media reports, this mysterious infection with symptoms similar to adenovirus, influenza, and swine flu has raised the concern of health experts. In the reports so far, most of its cases are being seen only in children or adults. Seeing this new type of infection growing rapidly, health experts have alerted all the people.
According to the reports, the good thing is that the recovery rate of this respiratory infection is being seen at 100 percent, although it is necessary to keep trying to prevent it. Most of the people are also recovering in four to five days. Let us know why this respiratory infection is considered mysterious and what kind of health problems it can cause.
Unexplained respiratory infection
Health experts say this disease is mysterious because its virus has not been identified at the moment. However, experts suspect that it may belong to the Adeno, Corona, Influenza, or MERS family itself. To determine its exact nature, health experts are recommending a multiplex test of tests including Influenza A & B, H1N1, H3N2, and COVID RT-PCR. Coryzal symptoms are being seen in most of the infected, which is increasing its concern even more.
Cases of infection in children
According to media reports, in the last 6-8 weeks high fever and respiratory infection-related illness have been seen in many parts, these patients have seen Coryzal symptoms, which means it is related to respiratory disorders only. At present it is seen that this virus is affecting 6-7 out of 100 people and 50% of those victims are children. Probably one of the reasons for this is that the immunity regarding infection in children is not fully developed.
Its symptoms can also be serious
Apart from children, the other 50% of patients are people suffering from lung problems in COPD, post-TB, and Covid. The expert said that most people are recovering easily, however, due to this, problems like respiratory failure are also seen in some patients, which can be the cause of serious problems. In such people, the use of certain types of anti-viral drugs can be beneficial.
Health experts say that all people should keep taking measures to prevent this disease, wearing a mask and taking care of hand hygiene can be beneficial for you.
