00:00I will mainly talk about the children.
00:03The viral fever is very high in children and adults.
00:08Especially in the last 2-3 weeks, it is very high.
00:15Almost influx of admissions with different types of viral illnesses.
00:24Like malaria, typhoid fever, typhus fever, etc.
00:41I will mainly talk about the children.
00:45The viral fever is very high in children.
00:48The number of dengue fever has increased significantly in the last 2-3 weeks.
00:57Until now, 5-6 years back, the dengue fever was very high.
01:06About 20% of the children become very sick.
01:11They drop their blood pressure.
01:14They drop their platelets.
01:16Some of them bleed.
01:18Some of them have water in the lungs and stomach.
01:22They get tired and put them on a ventilator.
01:25It is called a leaky phase.
01:27The number of children with dengue fever has increased significantly in the last 5-6 years.
01:39It has decreased in the last few years.
01:42Last year, the dengue fever was very severe.
01:48There were complications.
01:50It was called dengue shock syndrome.
01:52It was called dengue encephalopathy.
01:54It is when the brain is affected and the brain is in a coma state.
01:57It is when the brain is affected and the brain is in a coma state.
02:00In the last 20 years, there were very few people with dengue fever.
02:03This year, the dengue fever has started again.
02:08Until now, the children with severe dengue fever have been coming.
02:15They drop their blood pressure.
02:17Some of them bleed.
02:19Some of them have water in the lungs and stomach.
02:21The number of children with dengue fever has decreased.
02:25Compared to the children with dengue fever 5-6 years ago.
02:32Still, the number of children with dengue fever is increasing.
02:37The current dengue fever is caused by fever.
02:42The fever lasts for 2-3 days.
02:47After that, the number of children with dengue fever slowly drops.
02:51Some children have a fever of 1,50,000.
02:54Some children have a fever of 10,000-20,000.
02:59We are providing platelets to children with fever of 10,000.
03:06Most of them are recovering well.
03:12Some of them are feeling a little shy.
03:15They have low blood pressure.
03:17They are in shock.
03:19We have to correct the shock.
03:20We have to maintain the blood pressure.
03:22We have to admit them in the ICU and manage them for 2-3 days.
03:26They are slowly improving.
03:29Some of them have effusion in the lungs.
03:35They have a leaky face.
03:37They have water in the lungs.
03:40Few people are coming to us.
03:43We give oxygen to some of them.
03:45We give BiPAP to some of them.
03:47If it is severe, we keep them in the ICU.
03:50If it is severe and respiratory failure, we put them on ventilator.
03:55At this point of time, there are very few children on ventilator.
04:00Most of them are recovering well.
04:04They have mild to moderate symptoms.
04:07Some of them have fever, headache, vomiting, loose stools.
04:13Some of them have muscle pains.
04:16Some of them have low platelets.
04:19They are slowly improving.
04:23Some of them have complications.
04:25Some of them are in shock.
04:28There are very few patients at present.
04:31But, numbers wise,
04:33not only dengue, but viral illnesses like dengue are also increasing.
04:42If you test dengue, it will be negative.
04:44But, if you have symptoms like fever, muscle pains, joint pains, headache, vomiting,
04:51and so on.
