Impetigo in children increased sharply

According to Dr. Nguyen Thanh - head of the National Dermatology Hospital, the number of pediatric patients examined because of impetigo is increasing sharply. The disease usually occurs in the face and limbs when the skin is red, rising water blisters.

Children often touch their sores with their hands, spread to other skin areas. This treatment is not complicated, but if it is severe, it can cause complications of kidney inflammation, blood infection is very dangerous.

At the National Institute of Dermatology, in recent hot days, there have been cases of hospitalization when the disease has been relatively severe, with water swelling with pus and fever, mainly in children aged 5-6 years, part Bigly transferred from outside of Hanoi. Dr. Thanh said the cause of the disease is due to strep infection.

The climate change is continuous, as well as when the weather is too hot, the disease tends to rise. Therefore, parents need to keep their children clean. In addition, it is also necessary to limit feeding children with high sugar content because this is the factor that makes them more susceptible to disease.
