“Dr. Yong” reveals that the child pneumonia cluster in China is a seasonal virus that spreads.

“Mor Yong” Revealing the cause of the cluster found “Sick child” Respiratory disease in China due to decreased immunity Points out that it is not a new virus but a seasonal outbreak.

On November 26, 2023, it was reported that Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, head of the Center of Specialization in Clinical Virology, Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Posted a message about pneumonia and pneumonia occurring in clusters in China.

stating that from the lessons of the COVID-19 outbreak that started from China As a result, there is now awareness of the spread of respiratory disease outbreaks in children. that happened in China in beijing and Liaoning city

Such a group of symptoms It mostly occurs in children, with high fever and inflammation in the lungs. Chinese authorities have made statements since November 13 and learned from the lessons learned from COVID-19. World Health Organization Therefore paid special attention and issued a statement to the Chinese authorities to investigate and provide information until 22 November, especially regarding various details. and measures to prevent

When looking at events This season is winter in the northern hemisphere. respiratory disease There will be many seasonal outbreaks such as COVID-19, influenza, RSV, Rhinovirus, Parainfluenza. and often spread among children, especially schoolchildren Can be a group

Same as Thailand In the past, there was a huge outbreak. of influenza, RSV and respiratory viruses. Over the past 3 years there have been strict Because of the outbreak of COVID-19 causing diseases caused by other viruses It didn’t spread either. After COVID-19 has been relaxed Immunity to respiratory diseases Especially among children, it will decrease or have no immunity. As a result, this year there has been a huge outbreak of influenza, RSV, and other respiratory diseases.

If it is a new emerging disease such as COVID-19 At the beginning of the outbreak We find it in a lot of adults. Because it’s not that adults Or all children will not have immunity to emerging diseases. Therefore causing more violence. Later, the virus evolved to reduce the severity of the disease. majority of the population It has more immunity. Disease severity is reduced. and the majority of the population The disease will continue to be found in children more than adults.

Nowadays, technology is modern and fast. emergence of new diseases or a new virus It should be possible to diagnose it by testing the genetic code for a new virus. At present it can be done very quickly. This incident has happened for quite some time. (There is talk of an outbreak starting since October)

From all the information now Therefore, I would like to think that this outbreak in China It is probably a known viral disease. Met in large groups After the relaxation of COVID-19 However, we will have to wait for official information from China.

However, Prof. Dr. Yong Also updated information in the latest post. World Health Organization Received a response from China. Outbreak of respiratory disease in children No abnormal infections were found. or any new emerging germs It is a seasonal virus that spreads. At this time, there are no concerns.

In Vietnam itself Now there are so many respiratory diseases in children that beds are full. and there must be an increase in the number of beds For children who are sick with a lot of respiratory diseases, it is probably not strange when the season of respiratory diseases enters. Found in winter in the northern hemisphere. will begin to be found during this period Seasonal diseases such as influenza, COVID-19, RSV, Rhinovirus, etc.

After the COVID outbreak, there was a great deal of prevention and reduction in the spread of respiratory diseases. Therefore, there is no outbreak of disease. Newborn children grow up in these 3 years, as well as other children, who develop immunity from natural infections. There will be no or decreased This year has caused a lot of spread. Same as Thailand In the past period, there was a heavy outbreak. of influenza RSV Rhinovirus Parainfluenza especially in children

This year’s outbreak can be said to have increased, making up for the non-outbreak period, and in the years to come, everything will adjust to the original state. Before the outbreak of COVID-19 That is according to the season.
