The agency added that nearly a third of children in the United Kingdom suffer from the virus that causes with pneumoniaand swelling of the bronchi, and in total, 7.4 percent of the population suffers from it.
The situation does not appear in Australia Much better, as the country also witnessed a sudden increase in infections with this virus, and so did the United States, according to the newspaper "Daily Mail" British.
What is respiratory syncytial virus?
- The virus is widespread and affects children greatly.
- Among its symptoms, high temperature, coughing and phlegm loss of appetite.
- Adenovirus or syncytial virus such as fluIt may be of animal origin or mutated from person to person, and its symptoms are the same as those of influenza.
- 98% of people infected with the virus suffer from a runny nose.
- 1 percent of premature babies "Premature birth" They have risk factors, may develop pulmonary crises, and need hospitalization.
- Most of the injuries are among children who are two years old Breathing difficulty Or the occurrence of cyanosis in the skin should go to the hospital.
- It is preferable for children not to go to school, in case they are infected, because the virus is transmitted through breathing.
What do the studies say?
– Followed a study published in the journal "Lancet" The medical condition of 7 thousand injured with covid-19 Undergoing treatment in hospitals, 583 of them were infected with influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, or adenoviruses (It usually causes colds and sore throats).
– Researchers found at the University of "Edinburgh" Those with Covid and influenza were more than twice as likely to die, although there was no significant increase in death rates when someone had MERS and RSV.
However, scientists believe that the most likely impact of the respiratory syncytial virus is that some people will get sick with the three types of infection, one after the other, which will be debilitating and dangerous for certain age groups or those who suffer from other diseases.
Scientists confirmed that it is difficult to predict the impact that the respiratory syncytial virus may have, given that there have been very few cases of infection in the past two years, due to the closures and procedures Social distancing that accompanied the outbreak of COVID-19.
– Scientists did not reduce the seriousness of the respiratory syncytial virus, especially for children or the elderly who suffer from weak immunity, because it can lead to bronchitis and bronchitis.
How can the virus be prevented?
- In general, to reduce your risk of infection with any virus, it is important to observe simple hygiene measures such as washing hands with soap and water when touching potentially contaminated objects.
- Since virus particles can invade the body through the tear ducts and conjunctiva (the membranes that line the eyes), avoid rubbing your eyes, because your hands can transmit infection.
- Vaccinations are the first line of defense against Covid and influenza, and there are many Vaccines that are subject to testing
For respiratory syncytial virus, it is expected that it will soon be available in the market as a vaccine for the company "Pfizer".
