For example, in the winter in the north

There can be peaks in prevalence of pathogens such as influenza virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, etc. However, the simultaneous prevalence of multiple pathogens does not mean that the child will be infected with multiple pathogens at the same time. In most cases, children are mainly infected with a single pathogen.
For example, children are more likely to be infected by multiple pathogens only when they are young, have serious illness, have a persistent fever for a long time, or have underlying diseases. In addition, judging from the outpatient situation at Beijing Children's Hospital this year, there has been no abnormal phenomenon of an unusually large increase in patients this winter.
In the past two months, the number of visits to our hospital's ghana telegram data internal medicine outpatient clinic has decreased significantly compared with the same period in 2023, and is consistent with the level in 2019. In addition, the number of patients diagnosed with influenza virus is about 50% of last year, mainly influenza A, and the number of patients with human metapneumovirus accounts for a very small proportion, about 3%.
As I said earlier, although it is rare for our children to be infected with multiple pathogens, it is possible that a child will recover from a cold and then develop a fever again a few days later, or the condition will worsen again after the cold improves. This is mainly because the child may have been infected with two different pathogens successively. For example, he may have been infected with rhinovirus or other pathogens at the beginning, and then infected with influenza virus or mycoplasma and other different pathogens. At this time, children should pay more attention to protection. Although the cold is getting better, it may take longer for his immunity to recover, so during this period the child's protection should be strengthened to prevent new infections.
