Disease X: This fatal Disease X poses a serious risk to general health and has drawn attention from all around the world because of how badly it affects both individuals and communities. Due to the disease's high death rate and quick spread, public health agencies around the world have been facing numerous difficulties. Doctors and health experts have been warning the people to take necessary precaution to keep themselves protected from this virus and stop it from spreading and turning into a pandemic.

Recently at the International Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, a large number of international leaders said that the deadly Disease X, which is 20 times deadlier than COVID-19, could wreak havoc. The topic of the conversation, which included Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), and a few other leaders and experts, was "Preparing for Disease X."

Dr. Lakshmi Vemu, senior microbiologist at Kamineni Hospitals in Hyderabad, exclusively told Jagran English about the Disease X symptoms that can turn deadly and precautions one should take.

According to Dr. Lakshmi, "Disease X is an unidentified, potentially emerging infectious disease with the potential to trigger a significant pandemic. Regrettably, owing to its unknown nature, specific symptoms or precautions for Disease X remain undefined."

In addition, she added, "Nevertheless, it is possible to discuss general symptoms and precautions applicable to numerous infectious diseases, particularly those with pandemic potential. General symptoms indicative of potential severity include a persistent fever, especially if it exceeds 103°F; difficulty breathing; confusion or delirium; severe diarrhea or vomiting leading to dehydration; and bleeding, which may be associated with severe sepsis, specific viral infections, or other complications."
