Beware of Kissing Diseases Doctor's Warn
Medical researchers and experts have warned
lovers to beware, because kissing is a source of several diseases and
infections, such as hepatitis B, infectious mononucleosis or kissing disease,
gum diseases, strep throat, infectious diseases from mouth sores,hand, foot,
and mouth disease, HIV and meningococcal diseases.
World Health Organisation, WHO , identifies
Hepatitis viruses’ infection to be a major disease burden worldwide.
The
worldwide estimate based on weighted average for regions rather than individual
because of lack of data with prevalence in industrialised countries revealed
that Hepatitis C virus (HCV) type accounts for 20% of cases of acute hepatitis,
70% of cases of chronic hepatitis, 40% of cases of end stage cirrhosis, 60% of
cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),
and 30% of liver transplants. An
estimated 27% of cirrhosis and 25% of
hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide occur in HCV-infected people.
According Dr. Olufunmilayo Lesi, a consultant
physician and gastroenterologist at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH),
Nigeria belongs to the group of countries highly endemic for this viral
hepatitis. Its prevalence is about 10-20 per cent in Nigeria from the
extrapolation of 90 million Nigerians.
Dr. Lesi described hepatitis as a condition that
involves the inflammation or swelling of the liver. A disease condition that
can be caused by viral infections A-E, bacteria, drugs, alcohol, certain
medications, chemicals, bacteria, poisons, toxins, or by other diseases and ‘through
kissing.’
“It is a disease condition that spreads like a
plague and cracks the largest organ in the body like an earthquake, with long
term asymptomatic damage to the liver if the infection is in a chronic stage.
The long term damage to the liver restrains the liver from performing its
numerous functions,”she said.
