Serious Illness Threatens Children And Adolescents

Serious Illness Threatens Children And Adolescents



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.
