The world health organization expressed concern regarding the increase in respiratory diseases in China especially in children and asked the population “take protective measures.” But what do specialists say regarding this epidemiological scenario.
“No specific virus or bacteria has been detected,” explained the cardiologist and director of the Roca Medical Center, Francisco Lopez. Then he added: “We talk regarding mycoplasmas, which is a common bacteria. “There is also talk regarding the Covid virus and the influenza virus, which we have always had with us.”
Likewise, López asserted that, “There is no need to worry beyond the fact that they are having a lot and a very high frequency of serious illnesses in children.” “No cases are being reported in adults.”
In this situation, the world health organization requested laboratory results from studies carried out in children.
In case it is mycoplasmas, the director of the Roca Medical Center explained: “It has the characteristic that it does not give you a flu-like illness or the normal symptoms of pneumonia, in general what it gives is lack of air to breathe, a a little sore throat and fever, which can be serious, but responds well to antibiotics. “What is happening in China is that the overuse of antibiotics has generated significant resistance in this bacteria,” he indicated.
The measures proposed to China are similar to those applied during the pandemic such as vaccination, distancing, use of a mask, ventilating the rooms and hand washing
