TL;DR
- A health expert explains the surge of illnesses before the New Year as caused by adenovirus.
- Adenoviruses are common respiratory viruses that can cause a range of illnesses, from cold-like symptoms to flu-like symptoms.
- Compared to a cold, adenovirus is more likely to cause a fever, and symptoms can last longer.
- Unlike the flu, there is currently no vaccine for adenovirus.
- Factors contributing to increased infections include colder weather, more time spent indoors, and weakened collective immunity from reduced circulation of other viruses in previous years.
- Common symptoms include cold/flu-like symptoms (cough, runny nose, fever), sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, acute bronchitis, ear infections, pneumonia, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and acute gastroenteritis (diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain).
