After recovering from Corona, there is a risk of many diseases for 2 years, this proportion is more in adults compared to children: claim in research

 Welcome to mbctalk,

             Corona epidemic has become a problem for more than 2 years. New variants are still coming. During these 2 years, there is a risk of different mental diseases and dementia in patients who have recovered from Corona. This claim has been made by recent research conducted by the University of Oxford.

The research was done on 12.5 lakh people

This research has been done on 12.5 lakh people. Along with this, the ability of the virus to affect the central nervous system of patients was also tested. The research also looked at the global burden of dementia.

Bad effect of Corona on the brain

According to scientists, the brain has been affected even in mild cases of Corona. Two months after recovering from Corona, more cases of anxiety and depression have been seen. According to a study published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, these people may develop long-term illnesses such as brain fog, epilepsy, and seizures for the next 2 years.

Long covid is a serious problem for adults

According to research, many problems like mood changes, anxiety, and depression have become big problems in adults compared to children in long covid. Max Tacquet, the co-author of the study, says, 'The good news is that the risk of mental disorders after Corona is not long-term and no problems are seen in children.

On the other hand, diseases like seizures and epilepsy are seen for up to 2 years, which is a matter of concern. These problems can damage the cells that line the blood vessels, researchers say. This problem can lead to blood clots, which can be fatal over time

What is the difference between monkeypox and tomato flu? Learn about symptoms and treatment

 Welcome to mbctalk,

           There has been a sudden surge in tomato flu cases among children in India. So far, 82 cases of tomato flu, which was first detected in Kerala's Kollam district, have been reported. Like coronavirus and monkeypox, tomato flu is a viral infection and is said to be a form of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). It mainly affects children below 5 years of age. Some of its symptoms are similar to those of covid, monkeypox, dengue, and chikungunya. Like monkeypox, patients infected with tomato flu also develop skin rash, fever, and flu-like symptoms.

        The side effects of monkeypox in people are similar to those of smallpox or chickenpox, as they are caused by the same type of virus. Monkeypox is an infectious disease, spread by close human contact with an infected person or animals such as rats, monkeys, or squirrels. However, no information is available on which type of virus is responsible for tomato flu. Learn about the difference between the symptoms and treatment of these two diseases.

Monkeypox:

The rash is very painful and filled with pus. It is usually found on the face, inside the mouth, or inside the hands. A rash on the abdomen or legs is rare.

The rash develops 2-3 days after the fever and usually lasts for 2-4 weeks.

Symptoms of viral fever and monkeypox are similar, but monkeypox does not show any symptoms of cough and cold.

In monkeypox, one of the most important factors checked by doctors is the increase in the size of the patient's rash.

Tomato Flu:

A red and painful rash that develops all over the body and gradually grows to the size of a tomato can be called tomato flu.

Tomato flu only occurs in children.

At this time there are no known causes that support or spread tomato flu.

The primary causes of tomato flu are still being investigated by health officials.

Tomato flu has viral fever symptoms like body aches, skin irritation, fever, vomiting, loose motion, joint swelling, etc.

Treatment:

No specific anti-viral drug is used to treat them. In both cases, the patient is asked to isolate and avoid meeting other people until the rash is completely healed, as these are contagious diseases. 

According to experts, the Covid guidelines for monkeypox and tomato flu can also be followed to prevent the transmission of both diseases from one person to another.
