A common childhood virus called parechovirus, which can cause severe illness in infants younger than 3 months, is spreading in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a health alert issued Tuesday.
Most of the infants had older siblings or were exposed to other kids, and one got sick while in the neonatal intensive care unit. The infants' symptoms included fever, fussiness, poor feeding, unusual sleepiness and congestion. One developed seizures.
A parechovirus infection can"cause a spectrum of disease in humans," from asymptomatic or mild symptoms to"severe illness," the CDC noted. It's common in childhood, with most kids having been infected by the time they start kindergarten. In children between 6 months and 5 years old, the virus usually causes upper respiratory tract infection, fever and rash.
