<< We currently have an 'epidemic' of "laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis": terrible
mostly dry hacking cough for weeks. some kids are geting sub-conjuntival
haemorrahges. One of partners is notifying these cases as pertussis but
taking no swabs for diagnpsric culture as recommended by public-health >>
Saw a child with spectacular facial petechiae and subconjunctival h'age from
same cause at the coop on Sunday. So bad that I looked at the fundi to see if
had any retinal h'age. Pity I didn't have a camera
We have the same. So bad that the local reception class was down to less than
half its members in the week before xmas.
