Most of the children were admitted to Hospital
with unknown fever complaints and showed a drop in platelet count. At
present, apart from viral fever dengue, diseases like scrub typhus and
thrombocytopenia are spreading in the country, which hardly anyone has heard of
before today.
With the rainy season or change in weather, viral diseases start wreaking havoc across the country. Cases of coronavirus are also seen increasing once again in many cities. Apart from this, while dengue cases are increasing along with viral fever in Delhi, many districts of Uttar Pradesh have been wreaking havoc on mystery fever for the last month.
According to some reports, the children who are suffering from such unknown fever complained of joint pain, headache, dehydration, nausea, or rashes that spread to their arms and legs. Therefore, the majority of children were admitted to the hospital, and thereafter diagnosis their droplets fond drastically decreased.
What is thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia refers to a decrease in platelets. This is known as dengue, in which platelets are reduced. It is a mosquito-borne disease. The disease has spread to more than 100 countries, but 70% of cases come from Asia and more than 100 million cases are found every year. There are millions of severe dengue cases reported worldwide, which have a huge impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, and these cases are much higher than those of COVID.
Due to poor sanitation, water logging in many places, and our inability to deal with the increasing number of mosquitoes during and after the monsoon, we face the havoc of this disease every year. Along with this, mosquito-borne diseases are also spreading in Uttar Pradesh, the most famous of which is the mosquito-borne disease “Japanese Encephalitis”, also known as Japanese Fever. It was first found in 1978 in UP. And since then the disease has taken the lives of hundreds of people. A major vaccination campaign for Japanese encephalitis was launched in 2018, and this has resulted in a reduction in deaths. But again this time there is such a mysterious disease spreading that we can not really know whether it is Japanese Encephalitis or it is Dengue.
Chikungunya- Chikungunya is also a mosquito-bite disease, which spreads very rapidly during this post-monsoon season. Whatever the disease, one thing is clear that these diseases are spreading due to poor public health systems. We get these diseases again and again and every year we have to fight them and lose the lives of our children, which is very unfortunate.
Scrub typhus - The doctor says, there are many types of viral fever, which we face every day. But in this fever, the symptoms appear like dengue but it is not dengue fever. If the fever in the child is not controlled in time, it can even lead to the death of the child. There is a fever called viral hemorrhagic. There is another disease called scrub typhus, which is difficult to detect. It also resembles dengue but has a mortality rate ranging from 1 to 50%. The cases of fever that are coming out nowadays are probably the cases of scrub typhus. It is spread by mites. This type of fever has been occurring in India for centuries. There can be many bacterial infections, which can show the symptoms of scrub typhus.
Such cases are increasing
because the children were in quarantine at home for a long time and now they
are coming out of the house. Their immunity has
also decreased. These fevers have nothing to do with Covid as no child has
tested positive for Covid.
Stay healthy, Stay safe...
