14 Texas Children Have Confirmed Cases of Deadly Enterovirus-D68
Breitbart Texas | 10/12/2014 | Merrill Hope
Of the 691 cases of EV-D68 confirmed from by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now in 46 states and the District of Columbia, 14 of these cases are in Texas.
On October 9, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) confirmed that the children with EV-D68 were residents of Anderson, Bexar, Dallas (7), Denton, and Lubbock (4) Counties. One additional confirmed case was in a resident of another state.
In Lubbock, the Avalanche-Journal reported an additional case on October 10, although it was not recorded with the DSHS. If confirmed, this would bring the Texas EV-D68 tally up to 15.
Still, medical professionals caution against panic over EV-D68. Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) Medical Director/Health Authority Dr. Christopher Perkins said on September 26 that not all respiratory illnesses occurring are EV-D68. This also is cold and flu season.
The enterovirus season runs from July through October. Almost all of the confirmed cases of the virus this year have been among children the CDC reported. Infants, children, and teenagers are at higher risk than adults for getting infected and sick with enteroviruses like EV-D68. The CDC stated that is "because they have not been exposed to these types of viruses before, and they do not yet have immunity (protection) built up to fight the disease."
