H3n2 delhi

Synopsis Elaborating about the possible reasons behind the surge, Dr Viny Kantroo, Consultant, Respiratory, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Consultant, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, said the outbreak could have been triggered due to seasonal change, mutation of virus and the economy being fully open. Delhi hospitals are witnessing a spike in cases of H3N2 virus that triggers symptoms like fever, cold and body aches, but in certain cases, leaves behind persistent cough making patients extremely weak, doctors said. There has been a nearly 150 per cent rise in patients coming to OPDs with such complaints, they said. Elaborating about the possible reasons behind the surge, Dr Viny Kantroo, Consultant, Respiratory, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Consultant, Indraprastha "Children are going to school and they are transmitting it to the elderly. A lot of cross-country travel is happening. In the last two years, Covid was the dominant virus and there were restrictions but with relaxation of norms and return of normalcy, these outbreaks are being observed," she opined. The senior doctor said the treatment approach changes lightly when the patient has comorbidities and stressed that in those cases, they ask the family members to monitor the BP, pulse, oxygen saturation levels and consciousness levels. "If these levels fluctuate, the patient needs hospitalisation," he stressed. Explaining about the current strain, Dr Vikas Deswal, Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine, Medanta, Gu...

Although not many cases of this virus have been reported in the government hospitals of Delhi, strict instructions have been given to the District Surveillance Units, health facilities and government hospitals to monitor and prevent the spread of this seasonal influenza. Addressing a press conference, the Delhi Health Minister said, "This is the season of influenza. This type of seasonal influenza runs all over the world.

Doctors maintained that there is no need to panic, but patients with severe comorbidities or older than 75 need to avoid crowds. Dr G C Khilnani, chairman, of PSRI Institute of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine also said that hospitals across the city are witnessing an increased number of ICU admissions with H3N2 viral. NEED TO MASK UP Advising people to use masks again, Dr Sandeep Budhiraja, Max Healthcare medical director asked people to remain indoors if they are unwell. According to data from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), there has been a combination of respiratory viruses ranging from Covid-19 virus, swine flu (H1N1), H3N2, and the seasonal Victoria and Yamagata lineages of influenza B viruses in circulation. Notably, H3N2 and H3N1 are both types of influenza A viruses, commonly known as the flu.

After the death of two individuals from the H3N2 Influenza A virus in India, hospitals and medical institutions in Delhi are on high alert to deal with any rapid increase in the number of cases. The authorities in the national capital have asked public hospitals to follow guidelines, as published by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Hospitals and medical institutions have also been asked to demarcate separate areas where patients with the infectious disease can be put up. The Delhi government has also ordered the hospitals to keep beds in reserve for patients with H3N2 as well after more cases of cough and fever were reported. H3N2 influenza is one of the many subtypes of the Influenza A virus. The virus invades the respiratory tract and causes inflammation of the airways, leading to symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and fatigue. When the virus infects people with weakened immune systems, like children, the elderly or those with compromised immunity, it can also cause more severe illnesses such as pneumonia. With symptoms similar to the common cold, seasonal allergies or even later variants of COVID-19, the highly contagious virus can spread rapidly before it is detected.

Influenza H3N2 Test in Delhi Influenza H3N2 virus testing is recommended for patients with influenza symptoms and helps medical professionals to make clinically informed decisions. Timely diagnosis is essential for people with suspected influenza to seek necessary medical management at the right time and avoid severe respiratory illness, which can lead to issues in their day-to-day activities. Also, ignoring influenza for a longer duration might prove to be fatal. Influenza, if detected at an early stage, it's possible to control the severity, controlling both your health and hospital bills. On the other hand, if influenza spreads to different body parts, it can lead to sepsis, pneumonia, and other conditions based on the type of influenza virus.
