00:00Hello everyone, I am Dr. Nirav Patel, Consultant Neonatologist and Pediatric Intensivist at
00:06Orange Children's Hospital, Chandkhera, Ahmedabad.
00:08Recently, we have seen an infection of human metanemovirus in a child.
00:16In this video, we will talk about how this infection is found in a child, in which children
00:22or in which adults this infection is more likely to occur and what are its treatment
00:26modalities.
00:28First of all, there is no need to panic in this.
00:31This is basically a simple flu-like virus, in which the symptoms are normally cold, cough,
00:37bulging.
00:38In severe cases, it is called breathlessness, in which the child breathes a little at a
00:44speed.
00:45Sometimes the oxygen level is down, but it is found in very rare cases.
00:50The child who came to us was admitted here on December 24 at Orange Hospital.
00:57He had a cold cough for almost 2-3 days.
01:00He came from a village in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
01:05We kept the child on a small machine for 2-3 days.
01:08After that, the child's oxygen was not being maintained.
01:11So we gave him the support of a ventilator machine.
01:14After almost 5 days of ventilator support, the child's condition improved a lot.
01:20There is anti-viral medication, supportive treatment, nebulization.
01:24After that, we kept the child on a small machine and now the child is ready for discharge.
01:29The baby is absolutely fine.
01:31The main issue with that child was that when the child was a newborn, he was premature.
01:37Because of which the child had to be given a ventilator, a surfactant, a lung injection.
01:44So this child must have been affected by this because his lungs were already compromised.
01:49Normally, there is no need to worry about infection in healthy babies.
01:55Just follow the routine.
01:57Whenever you have a cold or cough, use a mask.
01:59We recommend hand washing 10-12 times a day.
02:03And those who have been infected, just use your mask.
02:08Even a simple cloth mask is also useful to prevent the transmission.
