In northwestern Pennsylvania, we are seeing the ubiquitous influenzas A and B in greater numbers than last year. RSV is milder with about 7 admissions from our practice of 8000, none of whom were high-risk or on Synagis. Most of the viral syndrome patients in the office have "high" fever, non-purulent conjunctivitis, cough (varying from loose to harsh, barky, repetitive), and nasal symptoms. We don't usually test out patients for Influenza, as they always present @ >48 hours anyway. The weather alternates between the 20s (snow) and the high 40s (rain) every couple days. Michael L.

In Eastern NC we had 2 weeks of unusually warm weather that seemed to bring out erythema infectiosum. Of course we are having lots of Influenza A as the "bug of choice". -gb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Len Leshin" <> To: <> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 5:21 PM Subject: re: amoxil rash At 03:53 PM 2/19/2002 , wrote: > >ps - we've been hit hard with rotavirus and RSV since the weekend - 10 >inpatients (just mine) in our little town of 50,000.
