COVID-19 cases among children are on the rise again in the Houston area.
Memorial Hermann's hospitalizations are rising amid new and existing variants of COVID-19. Doctors and nurses prepare for the worse as they gear up to care for patients who have the virus.Doctors and nurses in Houston hospitals are facing increases in pediatric COVID-19 cases that could lead to a rise in hospitalizations akin to the amount brought in by one of the worst spikes of Respiratory Syncytial Virus last November and December.
As of Monday afternoon, there were 32 current pediatric hospitalizations combined in the city of Houston and Harris County and 103 active pediatric cases of COVID-19 in Harris County, according to the SouthEast Texas Regional Advisory Council. According to Chang, in past waves, pediatric cases of COVID-19 were usually accompanied by other illnesses, however in the recent hospitalizations, children are being admitted to hospitals solely for their COVID-19 related symptoms.
In these younger patients, symptoms include fever, dehydration, trouble breathing, and some respiratory problems –including lower respiratory tract diseases and viral pneumonia. “In our experience, we actually had a higher percentage of patients needing ICU care than in previous RSV seasons,” said Chang. “So not only did this RSV season start unusually early, it lasted a pretty long time, and it was also more severe.”
