Avian Influenza (H5N1) virus or bird flu can become the next pandemic. In its report, WHO has issued a special warning about the infection caused by it which is spreading rapidly among birds and humans. After the alertness of the ‘World Health Organization’ (WHO), the government has also come into alert mode to stop its spread. ABV Hindi Live had a special conversation with Dr. Praveen Gupta, Principal Director and Head of Neurology of Fortis Hospital on this entire matter. Also tried to know about the serious problems caused by this flu.
This virus is spreading rapidly among humans as well
Dr. Praveen Gupta says that the way this disease is spreading, this virus can cause serious problems. This includes neurological problems as well, which can cause many serious health problems. We need to take this situation seriously because in West Bengal we have seen how this flu is making humans its victims as well.
WHO is going to bring the vaccine
The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that this week WHO has announced a new project to accelerate the development of vaccines for human bird flu infection for low and middle-income countries using cutting-edge messenger RNA technology. WHO has considered vaccine equity and has set up an mRNA technology transfer program, and this will help India a lot.
This disease can occur in case of severe infection of bird flu
Even from the point of view of neurology, this virus can be fatal because it affects the function of neurotropism a lot, due to which it can infect the central nervous system a lot. In severe cases, the patient can also become a victim of encephalitis. Due to which there can be swelling in the brain as well. There can be frequent seizures and the person can also go into coma. Along with affecting the neurological function, it also affects the immunity of the person.
Following the initiative of the ‘World Health Organization’, under this guidance, India is thinking of making its own vaccines using mRNA. By doing this, more and more people will benefit from it.
