Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): After the coronavirus in China, the risk of infection with bacteria called ‘brucellosis’ is increasing. The number of people infected with this bacteria is continuously increasing in many new states of China. According to Chinese officials, the first case of the disease came to light in July last year following a leak at a biopharmaceutical company. Last month, the Health Commission of Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu province, reported that 3,245 people have been infected with the bacteria so far.
In recent times, many cases of bacterial brucellosis have been confirmed in China’s Gansu Province, Shakshani Province and Inner Mongolia. According to experts, the disease can last for a few weeks, months or years. The patient infected with this disease experiences sweating as well as joint and muscle pain. In early September, Chinese media reported that five children in the largest children’s hospital in northwestern China had been infected with the disease.
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects animals including animals and dogs. If humans come in direct contact with it, then this bacteria can also infect them. The disease also spreads to humans by drinking milk or eating meat of infected animals. A person suffering from this disease gets fever due to cold. Due to too much weakness and fatigue, the patient becomes unconscious after feeling dizzy.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some symptoms may remain for a long time if an infection occurs, while others may even go away completely, such as arthritis or swelling in an organ. The Chinese administration has found that the biopharmaceutical plant used expired disinfectants. Brucell vaccines were being made here. Because of this, the bacteria never completely cleared from the factory exhaust.
