Adenovirus

Millions of children have been instructed to remain at home due to the emergence of 13,000 new cases of viral conjunctivitis within a single day.

Lashing out at the West Bengal government over the Adenovirus spreading among children in the state, Dr Manas Gumta, general secretary of the Association of Health Service Doctors alleged that the West Bengal government "underreported" the deaths.

Members of the West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights (WBCPCR) visited a hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday as child deaths due to acute respiratory infection (ARI) continued in the state, officials said.

Five children have died in West Bengal due to respiratory infections in different hospitals in the city in the last 24 hours fuelling fears of growing incidences of Adenovirus in the state, health department official said today.

Adenovirus leads to flu-like symptoms including common cold, fever, sore throat and bronchitis.

Public health alerts in the United States and Europe have asked doctors to be on the lookout for the condition, and to test children for adenovirus if they suspect hepatitis.

Summer colds can actually make you feel sicker than that in winters as they generate more symptoms.
