People's lung disease in soldiers: What is behind it?

The serious health problems among Russian soldiers who occur during the Ukraine War give rise to concern. According to Exxpress.at , many soldiers develop a mysterious lung disease. This situation arose during the "Operation Trumpet", which started at the beginning of March 2024 and aimed to recapture the Kursk region occupied by Ukrainian armed forces. A secret mission to infiltration the city of Sudscha was discovered by Ukrainian paratroopers, which led to a violent struggle in which numerous Russian soldiers were killed and some suffocated because they were caught in a 15 -kilometer pipe.

The surviving soldiers report serious lung damage, which result in a 90 percent constipation of the lungs. A Russian doctor described this state as similar to the severe covid-19 and explained that there was no known treatment for it so far. In this context, there is speculation about the causes of the diseases, including possible exposure to toxins or methane poisoning, while an official explanation has been pending.

global health crises and pneumonia

parallel to the situation in Russia, the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alarm with regard to outbreaks of pneumonia. Reports from t-online.de The cases of pulmonary inflammations are increasing in north in the country. The WHO calls for the form of China information on the diseases and its spread, whereby the Chinese health authorities explain that no new or unusual pathogens have been discovered. Instead, the diseases are due to well-known respiratory pathogens such as rhinoviruses and mycoplasm infections.

In the region, where the cases increase, the hospitals are overloaded, and there have been reports of non -diagnosed pneumonia in children since mid -October. Parents are concerned and consider that an epidemic may be covered up. Meanwhile, teachers ask that sick children are not sent to school. Hospitals are already experiencing a "steep upward trend" for flu cases.

worldwide increase in respiratory diseases

The situation in China is part of a larger trend, since the cases of pneumonia increase worldwide. In reports on fr.de it is determined that Japanese and Chinese hospitals reach the limits of their capacities. The increase in respiratory infections is often associated with the cancellation of corona measures. Well-known pathogens such as rhino, corona and influenza viruses as well as less widespread such as humane metapneumoviruses and mycoplasmapneumonia contribute to the current burden of health systems.

Children in particular are affected by these diseases, but not exclusively. A director of a clinic in Tokyo describes the current treatment of mycoplasm pneumonia patients as "unexpected". Atypical pneumonia has also been observed in the USA and Germany since the summer of 2024. These often milder, but also serious diseases, show symptoms such as sore throat, dry cough and headache and muscle pain.

With these worrying developments in different parts of the world, it is becoming increasingly urgent that health experts monitor the situations exactly and develop comprehensive strategies to combat these respiratory diseases.
