A warning for Sydney locals...
Сейчас в Сиднее, особенно в северный его частях, очень тяжелая форма вируса, вызывающего hand, foot & mouth disease. Может вызывать кучу осложнений, включая менингит, и не только.
Основное правило, которому следовать - если у вашего ребенка на фоне HFMD (или после контакта с носителем) развилась высокая температура (выше 39 в ухе), ехать в емергенси (вообще HFMD не дает высокую температуру обычно). Не к ДжиПи, которым все равно рекомендовано отправлять в емергенцы, а вот туда прямо напрямую.

A VIRUS that usually causes hand, foot and mouth disease is linked to a serious outbreak of meningitis on Sydney's northern beaches.
The Northern Sydney Local Health District has confirmed a spike in cases of meningitis, encephalitis and transverse myelitis has been caused by the enterovirus.
The health district confirmed that since December last year there have been 15 cases of encephalitis, three cases of viral meningitis and one case of spinal myelitis.
The diseases cause inflammation of the brain or spinal cord and, in serious cases, brain damage or death.
Symptoms can be similar to someone coming down with the flu and include fever.
The health district has advised general practitioners in northern Sydney to have a "heightened awareness" of unusual neurological symptoms such as involuntary muscle twitching.
Doctors are being asked to refer patients with high fevers and other neurological symptoms to emergency departments.
Личный опыт тоже имеется. Все уже хорошо, но некоторое время было очень страшно.
