Cases of pneumonia among children are on the rise in a number of European countries.<\/p>\n

As China is battling a concerning spike in infections, both the Netherlands and Denmark reported an uptick in the cases recorded.<\/p>\n

In the Netherlands, the number of youngsters aged between five and 14 diagnosed with pneumonia has risen to 130 every 100,000 children in the week leading up to November 26, according to the country’s Institute for Health Services Research. Last year, the highest number recorded was 58.<\/p>\n

Young people aged between 15 and 24 also appear to be getting ill in larger numbers than in previous years, the institute reported.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Denmark\u2019s Statens Serum Institut (SSI) also reported an increasing number of Danes affected by pneumonia. Within five weeks, cases rose from 168 to 541.<\/p>\n

It isn’t known whether the uptick in respiratory diseases in China is linked to the rise of cases in Europan countries.<\/p>\n

India, Taiwan and Vietnam have on the other hand started taking preventative measures to avoid their healthcare systems becoming overwhelmed with patients affected by respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n

In late November, a news report by FTV News claimed hospitals in northern China were “overwhelmed with sick children”.<\/p>\n

Mr Wei, a Beijing citizen, told the news outlet: “Many, many are hospitalised. They don’t cough and have no symptoms. They just have a high temperature (fever) and many develop pulmonary nodules.”<\/p>\n
