Abstract: Background: Hyderabad has recently witnessed a significant increase in viral fever cases, particularly affecting the lungs and leading to viral pneumonia. This situation has raised concerns among medical professionals due to these infections’ extended duration and severe complications. Objective: This study aims to analyze the rising incidence of viral pneumonia in Hyderabad, examining the prolonged nature of fevers, the subsequent complications, and recommended preventive measures. Methods: A review of hospital records in Hyderabad over the past two months was conducted to document the frequency, duration, and severity of viral fever cases. Particular attention was given to cases progressing to pneumonia, requiring ICU admission, and presenting with organ dysfunction. Results: The analysis revealed that many viral fever cases now extend up to ten days, with a significant number of patients developing pneumonia. Approximately 50 patients are currently hospitalized with viral pneumonia, experiencing complications such as reduced oxygen levels and slow organ function. Those frequently exposed to climate changes and crowded areas are more susceptible. Conclusion: The rise in viral pneumonia cases underscores the need for heightened awareness and preventive measures. Vulnerable populations, including kidney and brain cancer patients, should exercise extra caution. Key recommendations include wearing masks, regular hand washing, avoiding crowded areas, and thorough personal hygiene practices.
