Current illnesses or new outbreaks

Where we were having 1-5 patients in a group of 10 doctors every day with H1N1 at the start of school...now we are up to 100 per day. Where is that H1N1 vaccine?!!

Well at our peak we were seeing about 100 H1N1 new diagnoses a day earlier in November, now I have 1 in a week...looks like we are well past our peak!
Now we have parainfluenza and strep. throat with increasing scarlitiniform rashes showing up and the parents are getting strep too!

I just returned from Florida, where in a small public health clinic had 3000 doses...that's 9x the number of doses than our clinic has received and we serve a patient base larger than that county's population...hmmm

Well we survived Round 1 of H1N1 with a peak of 100 per day, Round 2 after thanksgiving peaked at 20/day (both totals for a group of 10 pediatricians), got a very small bump after Christmas, now just smoldering till college get back into session. Awaiting round three. Also hear reports of Tamiflu resistance in Carolinas and Tennesse.

New problems: strep continues, mild Enterovirus acute gastroenteritis, RSV Bronchiolitis (2nd year in a row), adenovirus causing both gastrointestinal difficulties as well as bronchiolitis, some reports of seasonal flu and minor levels of H1N1.

Good luck out there!
