Rajshahi representative: [1] Recently, the number of child patients has increased in Rajshahi. Rajshahi Medical College (RAMEC) Hospital has three times more patients than the number of beds allocated for children. Apart from this, the number of child patients has also increased in private hospitals and private chambers of doctors. Doctors said that many antibiotics in the country are not working on patients. Apart from this, children suffering from mild fever and cold require intensive care unit (ICU). In such a situation, parents as well as doctors are worried.
[2] After the death of two baby sisters in Rajshahi on February 13 and 17, the health department has not yet determined the cause of their death. Although the disease samples of the dead children along with their parents have been collected, the diagnosis may take 10 to 15 days now, doctors said. In such a situation, they are expressing doubt about the new virus. For this reason, doctors have been asked to carefully monitor and advise patients. [3] According to the information given by the doctors of children's ward of Ramek Hospital, the patient pressure in children's ward of Ramek Hospital is more in winter or summer. However, the number of patients suffering from respiratory inflammation, pneumonia, typhoid, asthma, diarrhea and jaundice increases during winter. Same picture this year too. The hospital has 150 beds in three designated pediatric wards. In contrast, the admitted child patients are about 500.
[4] On Thursday, it was seen that Ramek Hospital had 200 patients as opposed to 34 beds in No. 10 Children's Ward. Apart from this, a total of 2,781 patients were admitted in 60 wards of this 1,200-bed hospital on Thursday. Every day, twice as many patients are re-admitted to the hospital than the average number of patients returning home after recovery.
[5] Dr. Ramek Hospital Pediatrician. Shahida Yasmin said, new viruses may come. Corona is the best example. In addition, the old virus-bacteria is changing its form. The number of patients with pneumonia and hepatitis has increased. As the number of such patients was less before Corona, the CVR or seriousness rate of these patients was also less. But now children with mild fever are also in ICU. Viruses and bacteria seem to have changed their form. [6] Noting that antibiotics are losing their effectiveness, this doctor says that antibiotics are a big reason. These drugs are becoming drug resistant. Some antibiotics don't work at all. When an antibiotic becomes drug resistant, a higher antibiotic is needed. How many more antibiotics do we have? Its number is also limited in the country. These are making doctors like us think.
[7] Dr. Ramek's head of microbiology department. Khandaker Md. Faisal Alam said, nowadays there is an increase in the incidence of diseases like pneumonia, typhoid, diarrhea and jaundice (hepatitis A) among children. Although the incidence rate is increasing, the death rate is low. However, the cause of death of two baby sisters is yet to be identified. If the cause of their death is a virus, it is important to identify it.
[8] Older viruses cannot cause them to die. Also, if it is contagious, that would be a cause for further concern. Different types of samples need to be tested for each virus. Testing is catching most typhoid. There is no testing system in the country to identify novel (new or special) viruses. The US CDC works on these. Our IEDCR has taken action on this.
[9] This doctor said that the main cause of the disease is water and air. Pneumonia spreads through the air, he said. Jaundice and typhoid are waterborne diseases. Besides whether the Wasar Suarez water is leaking or not, there are also doubts about the bottled water. We have requested WASA to look into the matter.
[10] Ramek Principal Professor Dr. Naushad Ali said, the disease pattern is changing. Infecting microbes are also changing. Corona, Dengue and Nipah – These are viral diseases. Two children died recently. We thought they died of Nipah virus. Later it turned out not to be Nipah. This raised questions among us. Knowing the pattern of a disease helps us to treat it. Now if you have any fever, you have to be careful. Now even if children are admitted with slight fever-cold or convulsions, we doctors are also getting scared. I am treating the patient with caution. If such a case happens, we have to make separate preparations. Separate research must be done for this.
