Albanian paediatrician speaks of rare child disease “Kawasaki”

Paddy Valbona Selimaj, who lives and works in Belgium, has spoken of child disease Kawasaki, saying that if parents notice any symptoms of equimps send them to the doctor immediately.

She encouraged her parents, saying that if the disease gets caught at its beginning, recovery is easier.

Selimaj indicated that there have been several cases of children infected with this disease.

It's clear that we've had an increase in symptoms. We've had several cases of Kawasaki's disease. Parents should not be alarmed about their children because they are being caught in time. We have very few mountain diseases. People are now afraid to come to the hospital and ask the doctor. While our fear is that people may come later for a pathology and be late for them”, she said.

As for opening the nests, she said that the place where she lives and works the nests has never been closed.

The nests have always been open here in Belgium. This is where society works a little bit differently... with young children even the cases we've seen have been small, with a temperature that's gone too fast. We have found that young children are much less affected, even if they are affected they transmit very little to adults”.

Meanwhile, she also spoke of the state of Belgium, where she said she is one of the most affected countries with COVIDD-19, as measures have been taken too late.

The number of infected in this country is about 58,000.

“Nors and statistics are much more difficult to understand especially when we think about countries that are less likely. The measures were taken a little late, the country closed a little later... The picture was about April 12, where we had 300 deaths in one day. Now we have a more encouraging phase, where some sectors are opening...”, said pediadiatur Valbona Selimaj.

Otherwise, Kawasaki disease, also known as Kawasaki syndrome, is a rare childhood disease that causes blood vessels ' walls to become irritated.
