As featured in the recent Pune Times Mirror publication, Infectious Disease Consultant Dr. Preeti Ajapuje shared vital insights on the looming Chandipura virus threat. Dr. Ajapuje urged parents to seek immediate medical evaluation for children experiencing acute fever coupled with sudden neurological changes, such as seizures or confusion, rather than observing them at home. Emphasizing proactive protection without panic, she advised families to utilize appropriate insect repellents, ensure children wear full-coverage clothing, and use window screens to minimize sandfly exposure. Her timely guidance underscores the critical need for early detection, comprehensive evaluation, and preventive community measures against Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).
