Not just Corona, eight other viruses have come with people from abroad

Corona virus alone has not come to India from other countries of the world including China. Those who have returned to India from abroad have 8 more respiratory viruses. This is revealed in a study of Indian scientists. In which it has been appealed to the government to include screening of other viruses in the screening of those coming to India.

When scientists from Kerala and Pune-based National Institute of Virology (NIV) started studying a sample of 362 people who came to India between January and February, 84 of them have been found infected. Out of which only 4 people got SARS corona virus.

Other types of respiratory viruses have been found in others, which have similar symptoms. However, scientists say it is a respiratory tract infection. Some of these have already been found in India. If the precaution is not taken then these infections can also be harmful.

362 samples for screening at different airports in the country

Between 22 January and 29 February, 362 samples were taken during screening at various airports in the country. If they were RT-PCR tested, 3 Kerala and 1 Delhi resident were found infected. These four were the first Corona infected patients of the country who have now returned home after recovering.

However, influenza A, B, human coronavirus, rhinovirus, adeno and para influenza virus have also been found in others. One or more respiratory-related viruses have been found in 84 people. Another 10 people had co-infection and the remaining 278 negative. Corona virus is also an infection associated with the respiratory system. The effect of infection has been found in people aged 41 to 50.

Seven groups had studied ...

According to scientist Dr Varsha Potdar, Kapha was the predominant symptom in 57 positive people. 48 people had fever, 42 had throat pain, 29 had a cold. Antivirals in 12 of the infected samples and antibiotics in 31 samples have also been found. This study was done to detect infections other than corona in people coming from outside. According to the study, samples taken from January 22 to February 7 were the most infected. Scientists in seven groups, including the National Influenza Center, have completed the study.

These infections can also be harmful if precautions are not taken.
