00:00Sir, Mr. Ranga Reddy and Mr. Srinivas started again in 20 seconds.
00:29Sir, the bulletin is going to start. Be ready.
00:59Mr. Ranga Reddy, what is the difference between HMPV and other respiratory viruses?
01:06Another important question is, is there a vaccine for this virus or not?
01:12That is a very good question.
01:14Because, mainly in December, January and winter, we have more upper respiratory tract infections.
01:27Mainly, there are 3 to 4 pathogens that are responsible for this.
01:35One is influenza.
01:37It comes almost every year from all over the world.
01:42The speciality of influenza is that it comes to everyone regardless of age.
01:48But, the symptoms of this virus are almost the same as that of HMPV and RSV.
01:58So, it is a little difficult for the common people to differentiate between them.
02:04But, the doctors have some knowledge about the seasonal diseases there.
02:11Also, they know which diagnostic tests to use.
02:15So, it is possible for them to differentiate.
02:18The second important virus is RSV.
02:22Respiratory Sensitive Virus.
02:24This virus also comes to us more in this season.
02:30Mainly, it comes to very young children, that is, children under 2 years of age.
02:38Until HMPV comes, as we said earlier, it mainly comes to very young children, that is, children under 5 years of age.
02:45Otherwise, it is more common in people over the age of 65 or 70.
02:50Until the symptoms of RSV come, it is almost the same in everything.
02:56Cold, cough, fever, fever, some fever, it is more common.
03:03But, there is a small difference here.
03:05Usually, the temperature in HMPV is not so high.
03:09Similarly, if we look at influenza, there is a chance that we will have a lot of fever for a long time.
03:19In addition, we have observed some variation in seasonality.
03:24Influenza mainly comes to us in winter.
03:29Similarly, RSV also comes in winter.
03:31Until HMPV comes, there is a chance that it will come in other seasons as well.
03:40Sometimes, there is a chance that it will come in the season when we cannot get leaves.
03:46Sir, is there a vaccine for this virus?
03:49So far, there is no vaccine for this virus.
03:53There are experiments on this.
03:55But, no company has released a vaccine for this virus yet.
04:02The only thing I have to say here is that
04:07the HMPV virus is not on the priority pathogen list.
04:15So, there are very few experiments on this virus.
04:21But, looking at the current scale,
04:23some companies may be able to come up with a vaccine for this virus in the future.
04:34Mr. Srinivas, HMPV is an old virus.
04:38In this situation, what is the cure for this virus?
04:41When will there be severe situations?
04:43Similarly, what should children, elderly people and people with other health problems do?
04:49The answer to your first question is that
04:53this virus will not harm ordinary people.
