The pediatrician at the health center No. 2 in the capital, Valbona Shahini, said in A2CNN's "Diary" that the Sinsincia respiratory tract virus (RSV), which has alarmed Europe, is transmitted rapidly and may have arrived in Albania.
" We expect to have you here as well. We have doubts because it is a circulating virus. If it is in a neighboring country, it comes here too. The transport of such viruses takes place in a very fast way, given the free movement of people. "
According to Shahini, December also started with the same influx of people affected by type A influenza as in the rush of October and November. For this reason, she advised parents of children under 5 years of age to show extra care even when they send them to kindergartens and schools, as the seasonal virus is also aggressive.
" It's been a few months since we had a terrible rush of patients? Not to alarm but we have quite a few patients visiting. Mostly they are small ages. Kindergarten children are the ones who frequent health centers more, because normally the body is more vulnerable. There are more weak points in them, but there are also kindergartens and schools. Even teenagers are starting to come, patients. As it seems, the last virus has also affected that age group quite a bit. I would advise parents to be careful. When a child is sick, it is better not to have contact with him. Or when they are not happy, don't take them to nurseries or kindergartens, because they protect their children but also others. Be careful with clothing. "
Asked about the dominance of viruses this season, Shahini said that very few cases of people affected by COVID have been registered and it is type A flu that remains present.
" We don't have COVID. We have had no cases. We have done thorough tests, there have been cases but very few. They are affordable cases, they are not to create alarm and say obobo we are in a massive epidemic. These are cases that the children's body copes with very well. Type A is seasonal and continues to be. It's been a while since this kind of virus continues. The most numerous cases of this type are. There is a certain aggressiveness to this type of virus that has fallen. It depends on the age of the child and the immunity of the moment. In addition, the duration is not specified, but the problem is that there were consequences with bronchitis and bronchopneumonia, but very rare. In some cases, it also affected the gastro-intestinal tract, which was more vomiting and diarrhea. The respiratory tracts have been affected the most. We have not had serious cases, very few cases have required hospitalization. " (A2 Televizion)
