More kids are getting very sick with respiratory viruses — and it's not even winter.
The positive tests Kline's been seeing include enterovirus D68, which can lead to severe respiratory disease that can land a child in the hospital or ICU, he said. “Enterovirus D68 is associated with acute flaccid myelitis, an immune reaction to the virus that affects the spinal cord, and that can lead to paralysis."
“We’re seeing a lot of rhinovirus that started this summer, and some of the kids get sick enough to be hospitalized,” said Spinner. Kline noted that “in the past, these viruses would come through every winter, and lots of kids would experience them, so they’d have some degree of immunity that would persist and help protect them in subsequent seasons. This time around, we haven’t had as many of those exposures." He added that there is now a"big susceptible pool of hosts."
“When your child gets sick, just keep a close eye on them and make sure you’re reaching out to your health care provider to get instructions,” said Murray, adding that parents should be extra vigilant with infants, young children and children who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions.
