New Delhi: With the increase in the number of patients infected with the coronavirus in India again, another worrying news has come to the fore. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has informed that at present five viruses have spread in the country. ICMR has confirmed the spread of A-type influenza and B-type influenza i.e. Yamagata and Victoria virus along with coronavirus after examining samples of infected patients at more than 30 of its centers spread across the country.
ICMR said that a surveillance network has been set up at 30 different places in the country, where samples of patients are being tested. In the samples tested here, 0.1 percent were found to have secondary infection ie infection with more than one virus. While H3N2 in 10 samples, Victoria virus has been identified in 18.
It has been told by ICMR that the symptoms of all these viruses are very similar. In such a situation, if any person shows its symptoms for more than three or four days, then he must consult a doctor.
What are the symptoms?
Early detection of influenza infection can prevent the virus from worsening and the patient can be treated sooner. Common symptoms of these viruses include high fever, chills, sore throat, cough, cold, fatigue, and body aches.
Please tell that the influenza virus has now taken the form of endemic, that is, it is always present in the environment. Its peak is seen twice a year in monsoon and winter. In such a situation, there is no need to worry too much about it. Just the right treatment on time can keep you away from trouble.
