Hi, how are you ?

February

   “It’ll be warm winter.“ , that’s what they announced by weather prediction but contrary to expectation, the cold weather continued from the end of last year, and that made influenza outraged. However the epidemic suddenly stopped from mid January and that made us confused. In that environment, it’s weird but coronavirus infection is still remains. It’s not clear the reason yet whether by decreasing of vaccination or by changes in coronavirus strains, we need to be careful about.
 Infectious gastroenteritis is increasing, Bacterial gastroenteritis, too. When stomach pain or vomiting stays long, please ask it to your doctor.
 It’s common that RSvirus infection increases in this season but sometimes Human metapneumovirus which recently emerged and causing pneumonia appears in combination with it.Human metapneumoniavirus was used to be named as clinical RSvirus in virus classification but it was identified different kind from RSvirus. Therefore, the diagnose is differentiated. Their symptoms are similar, but Human metapneumomia virus infection’s peculiarity is relatively high fever.  Infectious erythema ( Fifth disease ) is spreading , too. When children are infected with it their symptoms are slight fever, their cheeks and arms turn to red, though pregnant women have to be very careful because it makes a risk of miscarriage when they’re infected with.
 Influenza B doesn’t spread yet but it’ll be. We learned the importance of gargling and mask on to avoid COVID-19 and don’t expect its huge epidemic but better be careful always.

 The exam season is upon us. The important things to keep good condition for students who get exam is rest and meal.
 After a month later, Spring will wait for you.
