New Delhi: Covid-19 Cases have dropped significantly in Delhi but hospitals in the city said their beds ran was full again because of the increase in sudden bloody fever cases.
In the past three to four weeks, the majority of hospitals said they had witnessed a significant increase in demand for hospital beds among patients suffering from mosquito-transmitted diseases.
It limits itself in many cases and is well managed with symptomatic management but, the doctor said, they have obtained cases where ignorance of warning signs in the case of fever causes serious complications.
“We have an 18-year-old patient in the emergency last week.
He presented a continuous vomiting, the pain in the stomach and massive internal bleeding.
The test confirmed the patient, a resident of Faridabad, suffered from dengue fever,” said Dr.
Ashutosh Biswas, Professor , Department of Medicine in AIIMS, said.
He added that patients had high fever and pain in the stomach for two days but he was not tested for dengue fever and continued to take medication prescribed by a local doctor even when the symptoms deteriorated.
“Most people make this mistake.
In the case of fever, they took free drugs and waited at home until the conditions deteriorated.
This is the main reason for serious complications and death in dengue cases.
People have to do a basic blood test if fever does not subside in One or two days and visit the hospital if there are warning signs such as pain in the stomach, bleeding from natural holes, falling fast in the number of platelets or extreme weaknesses, “said Dr.
Biswas.
For doctors, Dr.
Biswas said it was important to advise the patient and told him to be careful for warning signs instead of prescribing drugs only.
“Dengue patients with severe symptoms usually forward to the critical stage after three to four days of fever.
If the patient is well managed during this phase, the chances of complications become very lacking and he can fully recover.
However, once a patient falls into the critical stage, the opportunity Reduced recovery.
Patients may take longer to recover and even die, “said Dr.
Biswas.
Dr.
AC Dhariwal, advisors in the Disease Control Program are driven by a national vector (NVBDCP), say the main symptoms of dengue fever, extreme pain in muscles and joints.
“Most of the time of dengue fever is a minor illness and can be restored with symptomatic treatment with cold sponges, paracetamol, and lots of liquid.
Aspirin is not recommended in dengue fever because it can cause bleeding.
Bleeding spots on the skin, and blood in phlegm, vomiting, Urine, the bench can also be seen in some patients.
Pain in the stomach may be vigilant in dengue fever, “he said.
Dr.
Dhariwal added that blood pressure monitoring, hematocrit (type of test to measure blood-thick or thin viscosity), tourniquet test, urine output and an important fluid replacement in dengue case management.
Dengue is endemic in India which means a low transmission rate occurs in almost all states and trade union areas.
In North India, said Dr.
Dhariwal, the increase in cases of dengue fever can be seen from July-August, while in South India, we see a low transmission rate throughout the year and the increase in rain.
“In 2021, the increase in cases had been reported from several countries for various reasons.
In accordance with investigations, the increase seems to be caused by the circulation of the dengue virus Serotype-2, which is known to cause severe bloody fever cases,” said the former NVBDCP head.
