Hospitals report more cases of parechovirus in infants: "This is not normal"
CBSN
Multiple health systems are now reporting a potential uptick in serious cases of parechovirus infections in infants, after cases largely disappeared from children's hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documents how cases have increased at one medical center in Tennessee, which has already hospitalized 29 cases so far this year, including 23 infants in a six-week period.
That marks an increase from previous years: only 19 cases were detected over five months in 2018.
