H3N2 Virus Spread and Pollution: Distinguishing it from Adenovirus

 Dr. Ajay Aggarwal, Director of Internal Medicine at Fortis Hospital in Noida, suggests that particulate matter can weaken the lungs and make it easier for the H3N2 virus to cause more severe symptoms.

H3N2 Virus Spread and Pollution: Distinguishing it from Adenovirus

Introduction:

The Influenza A subtype H3N2 virus has been spreading rapidly across India, causing concern and leading to a swell in flu cases. Experts are now linking the spread of the contagion to atmospheric pollution, specifically the low moisture and high attention of adulterants.

Factors Contributing to the Surge in Flu Cases:

Low moisture and high attention of adulterants are believed to be the major factors contributing to the swell in flu cases in India. The prevailing low temperature and low moisture conditions in Delhi- NCR are conducive to toxin transmission. At the same time, high pollution situations are causing people to develop respiratory infections, weakening their lung health and making them more susceptible to viral attacks

Impact of Atmospheric Pollution:

Atmospheric pollution is known to weaken the lungs, making it easier for contagions to manifest themselves with lesser inflexibility. In particular, particulate matter is a major contributor to this decaying of lung function. According toDr. Ajay Aggarwal, Director of Internal Medicine at Fortis Hospital in Noida, the high attention of adulterants in the atmosphere is a major contributor to the current surge in flu cases.

Other Factors Contributing to the Surge:

Apart from atmospheric pollution, other factors may also be contributing to the swell in flu cases. The decline in impunitypost-Covid is one presumptive explanation, although this is still being studied by experts.

Prevention Strategies 

The stylish way to help the H3N2 contagion from spreading is to maintain good hygiene habits similar as washing hands constantly, covering the mouth while coughing or sneezing, and avoiding close contact with infected people. It's also important to maintain good respiratory health by avoiding exposure to adulterants, quitting smoking, and getting regular exercise. 

Conclusion 

The Influenza A subtype H3N2 contagion is spreading fleetly across India, causing concern and leading to a swell in flu cases. Atmospheric pollution, especially low moisture and high attention of adulterants, is believed to be a major factor contributing to this spread. The impact of atmospheric pollution on lung health is also a cause for concern, as weakened lungs make people more susceptible to viral attacks. It's important to take preventative measures to reduce the spread of the contagion and ameliorate respiratory health in order to minimize the impact of the current outbreak.
