After Corona, another deadly disease is wreaking havoc in India. Due to which the death toll is doubling day by day. What is this disease? Which has caused a ruckus. Is it really that dangerous? Why has this disease increased the government’s concern?

Years ago the biographer of the great American General Douglas MacArthur wrote about a strange and unknown disease that had spread in New Guinea during the First World War, consuming large numbers of American soldiers. The soldiers were suffering from high fever which did not subside for several weeks. Every fever medicine failed and the patient died within a month. At one point the situation became such that the number of people who died from disease far exceeded those who died on the battlefield. The same disease has come to India once again.. the name is.. scrub typhus..

People have been suffering from this serious infection called scrub typhus for many years, but in recent times there has been a sudden outbreak in Himachal and Odisha.

Increasing outbreaks of scrub typhus
So far 973 cases have been reported in Himachal Pradesh
10 patients died in Himachal Pradesh
5 patients died in Odisha

Now there will be many questions in your mind that scrub typhus? How does this happen? If so, what will happen to the patient? How dangerous can you choose? What is the cure?

First, what is scrub typhus?

Scrub typhus is a type of bacterial infection
Orientia is spread by a bacteria called tsutsugamushi
This insect is found on grass, bushes, mice, rabbits
The number of this pest increases due to moisture after rain

In addition to insect bites, these bacteria can also spread to the human body through contact with insect feces. Also, if you scratch or scratch the area where the lice or bug has bitten, the bacteria that come into contact with the skin can enter your bloodstream. Bacteria can also enter the body through unscreened blood transfusions or the use of infected needles.

Now let’s know the symptoms of this dangerous scrub typhus

The disease becomes severe within 10 days of the insect bite
Scrub typhus has dengue-like symptoms
Chills with headache, body rash, fever
Sore or itching at the site of the insect bite

A dark scab-like lesion forms on the part of the body where the chigger bites. Also, red spots or rashes occur on the body. Symptoms begin to appear within a week of infection. If this disease is not treated early, it can spread to many parts of the body. Due to which there is a risk of death. If any of these symptoms appear then it should not be ignored and a doctor should be consulted immediately. However, in any case, if the fever persists for more than four days, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately. Diseases like scrub typhus cross the danger mark as people mistake it for normal fever and try to treat it with crocin or paracetamol.

The question is what is the diagnosis of this deadly disease? Like many other bacterial diseases, scrub typhus can be diagnosed in the laboratory by serology and PCR tests. No vaccine exists for this disease, although antibiotic treatment with doxycycline is usually recommended to fight the infection. Delay in treatment is dangerous for patients with this disease as it can lead to organ failure and more fatal consequences.

Diagnosis and treatment of scrub typhus
Diagnosis by serology, PCR test in laboratory
There is no vaccine available for scrub typhus
Antibiotic treatment is recommended
Delay in treatment is extremely dangerous for patients

The solution is to avoid going to forest and green areas without wearing long clothes during monsoons.. If any insect bite then immediately wash the area with rice water. There is no vaccine for scrub typhus and the disease can spread from person to person, so caution is the only cure.

After Corona now the terror of H3N2 virus i.e. influenza virus is spreading. So far 6 people have died in the country due to H3N2 virus. The deaths have been confirmed in Karnataka, Punjab and Haryana. Children and the elderly are becoming more victims of the virus. There has been an increase in H3N2 cases since December 15.

The ICMR has also reported that more than half of people suffering from the acute respiratory infection SARI have received the H3N2 virus. The H3N2 virus is a type of influenza virus also called influenza A virus. It is a respiratory viral infection that causes diseases every year.

Influenza is a subtype of virus that was discovered in 1968. If your immune system is weak and already have asthma and heart patients. So there is a risk of getting the H3N2 virus. Due to this virus in the state, the demand for antibiotics and anti-allergic drugs has increased by 30 percent.

According to doctors, most of the influenza patients have similar symptoms. Like cough, throat infection, body ache, runny nose. So Corona has raised its head again in Gujarat. In the last 24 hours, 30 new cases have been reported in Gujarat and the total number has reached 136 in which one patient has also died in Surat. A 60-year-old man living in Surat’s Kapodra area was admitted to Smeer on March 4 after suffering from symptoms of corona. Where the woman died on Thursday morning after the report came positive on Wednesday. So Ahmedabadites also need to be careful as the cases of cold and cough are continuously increasing in the city. An average of more than 3500 patients are receiving treatment in the civil hospital every day.

What exactly is influenza H3N2?

This virus is also similar to Corona, which spreads infection quickly. Due to which the number of patients admitted to the hospital is increasing. H3N2 influenza is also known as Hong Kong flu. This flu is a subtype of influenza A virus.

What are the symptoms of H3N2 virus?

Due to this flu, the patient suffers from respiratory illness.
The symptoms of other seasonal influenza viruses and the symptoms of H3N2 flu are similar. Especially among the main symptoms of this flu

• Fever
• Sore throat
• Body aches
• A runny nose is the main symptom.

This is a virus that automatically changes its characteristics, which is called antigenic drift. This is a serious disease and precautions should be taken. Corona cases have reduced in the country, but flu cases are increasing.
The H3N2 influenza virus is a type of contagious flu. If a person gets the flu and comes in contact with another person, they can also get the flu.

What are the precautions?

So it is necessary to maintain social distance and this flu can also spread through breathing. For this reason, it is especially important to cover the mouth when sneezing. If you get this flu, stay at home for 24 hours after the fever subsides. So that this disease can be stopped from spreading to other people as well.

Since the symptoms of this virus are also similar to Corona, it is necessary to adopt the same SOP as Corona to avoid it.
