Experts say that this disease is also contagious like Corona, which is spreading rapidly from one city to another. This disease of China has increased the concern of many countries including India. At the same time, an official of the World Health Organization (WHO) believes that the increase of respiratory disease is not as high as before the Kovid epidemic. He reiterated that no new or unusual pathogens have been found in recent cases.
How respiratory diseases increased in China
"This increase appears to be due to an increase in the number of children infected with pathogens, which two years of Covid restrictions have kept them away," Maria Van Kerkhove, acting director of the WHO's Department of Pandemic Preparedness and Prevention, told health news outlet STAT in an interview on Friday. "We asked about the pre-pandemic comparisons and the waves they are seeing now. This shows that the increase in respiratory disease is not as much as they saw in the Corona period of 2018-2019. This is not a sign of a new pathogen. '
WHO seeks report from China
Most countries dealt with this problem a year or two ago. The rise in acute respiratory illnesses in China is linked to the spread of several types of pathogens, most prominently influenza, Mi Feng, spokesman for China's National Health Commission, said on Sunday. It has become a global issue after the rapid increase in respiratory cases in China last week.
The WHO had sought more information from China, citing a report on clusters of unknown pneumonia in children. China and the WHO have faced questions about transparency of reporting at the start of the pandemic that emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. The WHO said on Friday that no new or unusual pathogens have been found in recent diseases.
