00:00After Corona, once again a virus from China is hitting the whole country and the world.

00:07And at the same time, the case is coming out in many countries.

00:10Two cases have also come out in India, which were seen in children.

00:13Although, during Covid, about 71 lakh people died due to the infection of this virus.

00:20But now this virus is looking very aggressive.

00:24As the footage is coming, many people have been infected with it in China.

00:27And such a virus has also been seen in India, which is also being investigated.

00:32Although, there are many governments, state governments, who have also issued advisories.

00:35If we talk about the Indian government, if we talk about the Ministry of Health,

00:38they are doing research on their level and have called the team of all the doctors.

00:43But let's talk about how dangerous this virus is and what the consequences of this virus will be.

00:46Will it spread like Covid?

00:48Can a lot of lives go in its grip like Covid?

00:51I have come to Amrita Hospital with all these things, where I have a doctor with me.

00:54We will talk to him and try to find out how dangerous this virus is and what effect it has on health.

01:00I have a doctor with me. Sir, what is your name?

01:02Namaskar, I am Dr. Pradeep Bajaj.

01:04I am working as a Consultant Plumbiologist at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.

01:09So, basically, all the diseases related to the lungs, they manage everything.

01:13Sir, this virus that has come, which looks like Covid, what can you say about this virus?

01:17What kind of virus is this?

01:19See, in its full form, it is a Human Meta-Pneumovirus, which is called HMPV virus in the short term.

01:25If we look closely, all the types of pneumonia,

01:29most of them, 50-70% of the causes of pneumonia are due to viral infections.

01:34Same way, if we talk about Covid, Influenza or HMPV,

01:39these are the types of viral infections, which start with throat infections.

01:44The initial symptoms of these are cold, cold, cough, etc.

01:49So, this is also a similar type of virus.

01:52Can this be seen as Covid?

01:54Because the way we have suffered from Covid, many people have lost their lives.

01:58So, can this virus be seen as Covid?

02:00See, it will be too soon to say this.

02:02And if we see, HMPV is not a new virus.

02:07For the last 25-30 years, HMPV cases have been seen.

02:11And the reported cases are in the periodic age group.

02:16And the trend of HMPV is that 90% of the cases come from the periodic age group,

02:22or extreme of age, more than 75 years in the age group.

02:26It hardly affects the adult population.

02:29The patients who are immunocompromised, who are taking medicines for a cancer or transplant,

02:34we call them immunocompromised.

02:37So, this can be seen in them sometimes.

02:39When we talk about the sudden increase in the number of cases of HMPV,

02:43you are saying that HMPV has always been there.

02:45So, why did the number of cases suddenly increase?

02:47So, any virus, whether it is influenza, whether it is corona, whether it is HMPV,

02:52there is an inherent nature of the virus.

02:54The nature of the virus is that it always mutates.

02:57There are mutations in it.

02:59New forms and new features are developed due to mutation.

03:03Same like any of our gadget upgradation,

03:06the virus also keeps itself upgraded and updated.

03:11So, many times, some mutations are such that they become dangerous for the human species.

03:16They start spreading easily in humans.

03:19If they spread, then their severity,

03:22they do not remain limited to cold and flu,

03:24they appear in the form of a dangerous disease like pneumonia.

03:28So, these are some alarming signs, alarming appearances that we have to see.

03:33If we talk in simple words, those who do not know about this disease,

03:37can we say that it is a family member of COVID?

03:40See, I am saying again that the virus is of many types

03:44and we should not panic for it.

03:47We should not release such statements from the beginning that it is COVID or it is like COVID.

03:52The most important thing is that,

03:55being a respiratory specialist,

03:58we see a heavy rise in pneumonia and respiratory infections in the winter season.

04:05And most of the infections are viral.

04:09So, as we deal with influenza, we have to deal with it.

04:14We just have to develop a good hygiene. That's it.

04:18What are the ways to prevent it? How can people take care of themselves?

04:22HMPV infection is also like influenza or COVID viral infection,

04:29it spreads in the form of droplets.

04:31Meaning, by sneezing, coughing,

04:34or the patient who is already affected by HMPV,

04:36by staying in close proximity to it and breathing.

04:39Just the same like the COVID standard,

04:41which we have used in the last 4 years,

04:44hand hygiene, COVID related mask use,

04:47all the protective gear use,

04:49the same applies to every viral infection,

04:53whether it is new HMPV, influenza or COVID.

04:57So, there is no need to panic. There is a way to save yourself.

05:00Definitely, there is no need to panic at this moment.

05:04Because HMPV is a well-known virus.

05:07It may be serious due to some new features.

05:11But if we take good care,

05:14whatever doctor recommended hand hygiene,

05:18preventive measures, mask use,

05:21if we take care of all that,

05:23whenever there is a patient in our house,

05:26who appears with such symptoms,

05:28to consult him immediately for medical advice,

05:31to motivate him,

05:33then we can deal with any viral infection, viral epidemic.

05:38Thank you very much for talking to us.

05:40So, these were the doctors who have clearly explained

05:42that the way this virus is spreading,

05:44there is no need to panic.

05:46Just like we were cautious during COVID,

05:48we need to be cautious now as well.

05:50For Faridabad City Bharat, Mukesh Kumar.
