The Institute of Public Health (ISHP) has confirmed the presence of the RSV virus in our country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Children are more affected by this viral infection, which causes problems in the respiratory tract.<\/span><\/p>\n

This virus can range from mild infection to pneumonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The circulation of viruses during this period has created an influx in the emergency unit of Pediatrics and QSUT. <\/span><\/p>\n

“My son is inside, he is sick, 13 years old. With nausea. A little high fever” said a citizen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are afraid, but there’s nothing we can do, hospital conditions here aren’t the best,” said another.<\/span><\/p>\n

The clinical signs between winter season viruses and subvariants of COVID-19 are similar, so doctors’ appeal to citizens is to be attentive to the first symptoms and consult with their family doctors and other medical specialists. <\/span><\/p>\n

Epidemiologists warn that the last two weeks of January will mark the peak of this virological period.<\/span><\/p>\n
