Treatment of seasonal flu and COVID-19 virus, a challenge for the Clinic of Pediatrics

The Pacific Clinic in Pristina is seeking from health institutions to conduct faster tests by Covid-19 for children. As wintertime approaches, the main challenge is being considered to differentiate children with Covid, compared to seasonal viruses, due to the great similarity of the clinical mirror.

The director of this clinic, Drita Telaku-Cosaj, in an interview for Kosova Preress, as she talks about treating children with Covid-19, among the main challenges, is also considering testing.

If there's at least one of our institutions for children to have slightly faster tests, in terms of test therapy, or tests such as perhaps to give us a differential of a child who's with Covid-19, a child who's with a season virus, maybe testing will be a challenge because the clinical mirror is very similar to a seasonal flu with a child with the Individual-19, with some other virus that appears. It's hard clinically different than we're dealing with. The challenge will be to diagnose and differentiate these children, and then the medication is understood to be the rest”, she says.

And according to her, the work in this clinic is obviously going to make the seasonal flu difficult which starts in October, and at the same time confronting the pandemic.

The “Dirmy that's ahead of us, it's been a special challenge, here's the seasonal flu that starts now in October, where none of us know what the seasonal flu is going to have, and it's understood, the problem with Avid-19, is a special challenge that's been ahead of us. I think we should primarily think about children with chronic diseases”, she says.

Among other things, Director Telaku has announced that at the Clinic of Pediatrics, only one child is currently being treated with Coddy-19, whose situation says it is stable.

We've had 46 kids in the Covid unit so far, but fortunately, in general, their numbers are not large. At the moment we've only had one hospitalized child, in some cases in the children with accompanying diseases, they're having a more severe clinical mirror... of all these kids we've been treating with Avid, a child has been with a very serious heart disease, which has been diagnosed after birth and ended with fatality”, she says.

From July 25th, a special space has been created for children treated with the Tyvid-19 virus, which so far has been treated by 46 children, one of whom has fatally ended. In addition, this clinic has continued to offer all other services.
