In this article Easter will be a serious illness for children, so,
I spread this awareness and take the necessary measures to avoid it.
Recently,
health experts in the United States have warned of a serious illness with mild
symptoms, but it is rapidly developing to end with paralysis.
After the
statistics conducted by the United States of America during the past year, it was
found that the number of victims of the disease has exceeded 228 patients. This
disease, known as acute debilitating myelitis, is an inflammation of the spinal
cord that damage and destroys nerve fibers.
The reason for the experts' warning of the disease is that the disease, which may sometimes cause fatal paralysis, spreads and ebbs between one year and another, and the wave of the year began to raise the concern of public health officials in the United States because it affects more and more
children,this makes him lethal because he threatens the future of the entire society.
The head of
the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Foschi said
that the disease carries elements similar to polio, which spread among humans
and harvested many lives for many centuries, before
other frightening epidemics exploded in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Foschi, who
published a report on the disease on Tuesday (April 2nd) ,
said that even though the disease is serious, it is unlikely that severe acute
myelitis will become a serious epidemic such as poliomyelitis,
Which
infected tens of thousands of American children annually before the vaccine
became available in the 1950s.
However, he
warned that although the disease is not a serious disease such as polio, it
will not be confined to a few hundred cases annually.
While other
countries have reported limited outbreaks of the disease, such as Canada,
France, Britain and Norway, the size and pattern of outbreaks in the United States
have been greater than in other countries.
More than
550 Americans have contracted the unknown disease in this decade, with 32 years
of age and children accounting for about 90 percent of all cases, most of them
between the ages of 4 and 5 and 6 years, Time said.
According
to the report, most of the people with the disease had symptoms such as
weakness and fever, and then developed symptoms to paralysis.
In some
cases, the symptoms begin more simply, such as the inability to move the thumb suddenly,
or the inability to eat or even breathe and take a normal inspiration.
Many of the
families of the infected children reported that their children had recovered at
least some movement in the affected legs, but there were no reports of complete
recovery from the disease.
Health
workers involved in the disease can not give details of cases of recovery among
those who have been infected, or even the number of deaths from the disease.
