I warn physicians of a burgeoning summer flu. It is caused mainly by 6-7 enteroviruses that assail us now. Enteroviruses are developed in the intestine. When young they attack the beta cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin, and thus trigger diabetes, but this is relatively rare. In adults, however, they can strike the heart, causing myocarditis, cause aseptic meningitis, which are treatable, and pain in intercostal space.
In most cases, summer flu viruses is rampant now, we bring fever, sore throat, chills, rash, nausea, stomach pain and permanently reside in the toilet. The disease goes away for about a week.
Summer...
