As of Sunday, the world health organization is reporting at least one death in connection to a liver disease outbreak affecting children in the U.S. and Europe.
DOTHAN, Ala. - “It’s a little different than most upper-respiratory infections and it doesn’t really have a seasonal period,” says Dr. Mark Strassburg, Pediatrician and Clinical Director at Dothan Pediatric Clinic. “Most of our upper-respiratory infections tend to occur during cold and flu season, but this one can occur year-round. It also can have some gut manifestations too, so you know, vomiting, diarrhea that kind of thing too.
“There are 300,000 kids in Alabama, so right now you’d be looking at a statistic of nine kids out of 300,000,” so to me that’s a pretty low risk, expresses Strassburg. “We probably see lots of cases for Adenovirus and don’t know it because we don’t test everybody for it. It’s just one of those things where you typically have to do panel and you can get it that way.
