Information that children infected with a strange virus can penetrate the brain is false.

In recent days, information has been spreading on Facebook that "Dong Hoi is experiencing a strange viral fever in children. Hospitalized, doctors concluded that the strange viral fever can invade the brain and be dangerous. Parents be careful."

On March 13, a representative of the Center for Disease Control of Quang Binh province said that the information about children infected with a strange virus occurring in the province is false, and there have been no recorded cases of the disease caused by the strange virus.

In recent days, on Facebook, information has been spreading that "Dong Hoi is having a strange viral fever in children (symptoms include a mild fever for a long time and nausea). After being hospitalized, the doctor concluded that the strange viral fever can invade the brain and be dangerous. Parents, be careful."

After this content was posted, many Facebook users commented and shared. Many people in Quang Binh expressed confusion and concern about the accuracy of this information.

Recently, in the province, only 1 primary school student (residing in Dong Hoi city) was recorded with fever and was taken to Hue Central Hospital by relatives for examination.

The doctor's preliminary diagnosis was that this case was viral encephalitis, a common disease in children.

After receiving information about this case, the unit sent people to monitor and investigate the child's living and studying area, but no similar cases have been discovered.

“Currently, the situation of common infectious diseases in Quang Binh is not unusual. The Provincial Center for Disease Control is also actively coordinating with units and localities to deploy disease prevention and control activities. In particular, measles has a risk of increasing, so the unit conducts regular monitoring and investigation and coordinates to vaccinate and vaccinate subjects," added Dr. Huynh Cong Hung.
