Health Latest News Updates H2N3 & COVID-19 What Doctors Say

health News: Simultaneous infection of corona and H3N2 virus occurred in Thane. The patient died in this. Can two viruses infect at the same time? What to do if Discussed this with specialist doctors. Let’s know what the doctor said…

Consultant Internal Medicine at Hinduja Hospital, Khar. Discussed this with Rajesh Jaria. He then went on to elaborate on what can happen when the two viruses infect the same person. He said that viruses are extremely microscopic in size, which means that a single bacterial cell can accommodate up to 100 viruses. Although bacteria are larger than viruses, they are smaller than the size of a human cell. A human cell can contain up to 10 bacteria. This estimate may vary slightly from bacterium to bacterium or from cell to cell; But in general it is true that there can be about 200 viruses in a single human cell. When two different viruses infect the same person, it is called co-infection. This phenomenon is commonly seen in blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis and HIV. Although co-infection with two viruses in the same patient is not uncommon, respiratory viruses that cause respiratory disease, such as coronavirus and flu, are less likely to co-infect. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for patients to contract both COVID-19 and other types of influenza.

Co-infection can lead to more rapid spread of infection, especially if the viruses interact synergistically. It is very rare that a viral co-infection makes a bacterial infection worse. However, usually one of the two viruses dominates the infection and causes the patient’s symptoms and problems. However, it is not surprising or unknown that co-infection with the two viruses makes the patient more ill. The coexistence of two viruses affecting the same patient is neither surprising nor unknown. Hypothetically we can say that sometimes it can make the spread of infection worse. But this has not happened before. That patient may be more ill because he is infected with two viruses. However, usually one virus will dominate the infection and that virus will cause the symptoms and problems of the disease, Rajesh Jaria said.

Discussed this with Dr. Laxman Jesani, Consultant Infectious Diseases at Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai. He said that both H2N3 and COVID-19 are respiratory diseases, and symptoms of each virus can overlap, including fever, cough and difficulty breathing. If a person is infected with both viruses at the same time, it can result in more severe symptoms and complications such as pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is important to note that the best way to prevent co-infection is to take preventive measures against both viruses, such as vaccination for both COVID-19 and influenza.
