Winter virus threatens the lives of children and adults

Winter virus It seems that the specter of viruses will haunt people with weak immunity forever, as health experts have warned of a dangerous virus that may cause many infections this winter around the world, known as the “respiratory syncytial virus.”
Figures from the UK's Health Security Agency indicate that "respiratory syncytial virus" has become the main cause of hospital admissions for children recently.
The agency added that nearly a third of children in the United Kingdom suffer from the virus that causes pneumonia and swelling of the bronchi, and as a result, 7.4 percent of the population is infected with it.

The situation in Australia does not seem much better, as the country also witnessed a sudden increase in infections with this virus, and the same applies to the United States, according to the British Daily Mail.

Among its symptoms are high temperatures, coughing, phlegm and loss of appetite.
Adenovirus or syncytial virus, like influenza, may be of animal origin or mutated from person to person, and its symptoms are the same as those of influenza.

98 percent of people infected with the virus suffer from a runny nose.
1 percent of premature babies “premature birth” have risk factors, may develop pulmonary crises, and need hospitalization.

Most of the injuries are among children who are two years old, and in the event of difficulty breathing or cyanosis in the skin, one must go to the hospital.

It is preferable for children not to go to school, if they are infected, because the virus is transmitted through breathing.

 Scientists have not underestimated the danger of respiratory syncytial virus, especially for children or the elderly with weakened immunity, because it can lead to inflammation of the bronchi and bronchial tubes.

To reduce your risk of contracting any of the viruses in general, it is important to observe simple hygiene measures such as making sure to wash your 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, as your hands can transmit the infection.
Vaccinations are the first line of defense against Covid and influenza, and there are many vaccines that are undergoing trials
As for the respiratory syncytial virus, it is expected that it will soon be available on the market as a Pfizer vaccine.
