00:00Vanakkam. Myself Dr. Saravanan. I am working at Ray Law Hospital in Chennai in the field of children's fever treatment.

00:09Recently, there has been an increase in the spread of Human Meta-Pneumovirus, HMPV.

00:23This virus has caused a lot of panic among people.

00:30As many videos have been circulating on social media, people have become anxious.

00:37This meeting is for a brief explanation about this virus.

00:41Human Meta-Pneumovirus or HMPV is a virus that is already spread among children.

00:56Other viruses like Influenza, Respiratory Sensitivity, etc. have caused respiratory problems among children.

01:20This is not a new virus.

01:25But, it is not known whether the virus spread in China is a completely new virus or not.

01:35There is no official knowledge about it from the Chinese government or the CDC.

01:44So, we cannot say for sure.

01:48But, this HMPV is a virus that can spread among children, adults, and people with low immunity.

02:03We have already tested this virus in our labs.

02:20There is no specific antibiotic treatment for this virus.

02:24But, we can give antipyretic treatments for symptoms.

02:31Some children need oxygen.

02:34We are already doing supportive treatment in the ICU.

02:39Recently, news has come that two children in Bangalore have been infected.

02:46But, we have already seen that HMPV is still positive.

02:57So, there is no need to worry about this.

03:00Let us wait for some official announcements.

03:05There is no need to worry about whether this is a completely new virus or not.
