00:00Vanakkam. Myself Dr. Saravanan. I am working at Ray Law Hospital in Chennai in the field of children's fever treatment.
00:09Recently, there has been an increase in the spread of Human Meta-Pneumovirus, HMPV.
00:23This virus has caused a lot of panic among people.
00:30As many videos have been circulating on social media, people have become anxious.
00:37This meeting is for a brief explanation about this virus.
00:41Human Meta-Pneumovirus or HMPV is a virus that is already spread among children.
00:56Other viruses like Influenza, Respiratory Sensitivity, etc. have caused respiratory problems among children.
01:20This is not a new virus.
01:25But, it is not known whether the virus spread in China is a completely new virus or not.
01:35There is no official knowledge about it from the Chinese government or the CDC.
01:44So, we cannot say for sure.
01:48But, this HMPV is a virus that can spread among children, adults, and people with low immunity.
02:03We have already tested this virus in our labs.
02:20There is no specific antibiotic treatment for this virus.
02:24But, we can give antipyretic treatments for symptoms.
02:31Some children need oxygen.
02:34We are already doing supportive treatment in the ICU.
02:39Recently, news has come that two children in Bangalore have been infected.
02:46But, we have already seen that HMPV is still positive.
02:57So, there is no need to worry about this.
03:00Let us wait for some official announcements.
03:05There is no need to worry about whether this is a completely new virus or not.
