Pneumonia cases are increasing rapidly in many countries around the world including China. The number of patients admitted to hospitals due to this disease is also increasing. It was feared that these cases of Mycoplasma pneumonia may come to India also. Meanwhile, on Thursday, news was published on an English website that this microplasma pneumonia has entered India also. In the samples tested at AIIMS, a total of seven samples were found positive for pneumonia.
These seven cases were registered in Delhi AIIMS from April to September. This respiratory disease was identified in AIIMS through PCR test and IDM antibody test. This investigation and report were also published in a medical journal. After this news was published in the English website, many media organizations also broke the news, but we will tell you what is the truth. Let us tell you what is the truth about the seven samples found in the investigation of AIIMS.
Has China's pneumonia reached India too?
According to the information received by Tv9 Bharatvarsha from the Media Department of AIIMS and the Union Health Ministry, the news published in the English website is misleading and wrong. No such case of Microplasma pneumonia has been reported in AIIMS in China. There is no connection between the increasing cases of pneumonia in China and the testing of samples of pneumonia patients in AIIMS. In such a situation, people are advised to consider this news as wrong and not to panic.
What is Mycoplasma Pneumonia?
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a type of pneumonia disease, whose cases are increasing rapidly in China. However, why is this pneumonia spreading in China? No information has been revealed about this. However, experts say that no new virus or variant has arrived in China. In China, most of the cases are occurring in children only. Apart from China, cases of pneumonia and many other respiratory diseases are spreading rapidly in many countries. Apart from China, cases of this disease have also been registered in many countries of America and Europe. The World Health Organization is also keeping an eye on the increasing cases of pneumonia around the world.
Is there danger in India?
Epidemiologist Dr. Ajay Kumar says that there is no danger of pneumonia in India like in China, but still there is a need to increase surveillance and remain alert. Caution should be taken especially in the winter season. People are advised to get tested if they notice symptoms of flu and wear a mask while going out. It protects from both disease and pollution.
