@@@ TEMPLE (September 8, 2014) Doctors at McLane Children's Hospital in Temple Monday said they鈥檙e monitoring a jump in the number of patients with respiratory illnesses, but say the strain here is not as severe as a severe virus that has sickened hundreds of children in about a dozen states in the Midwest.

The hospital received more than 100 reports of children with respiratory issues last week.
"Once school starts and you have <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Shoes-Australia>Kate Spade Shoes Australia</a>  a respiratory virus that's as aggressive as this is," Dr. Dominic Lucia, McLane Children's Hospital emergency medical director. 
"It's the perfect combination to really cause quite a bit of illness in the community. We in Texas and in the central Texas area have been fortunate. We haven't been hit quite as hard as some of the other states but we are still seeing especially in our asthmatic population and what we call our 鈥榖ronchiolitic鈥?population."
"You have to look at your child, see what preexisting conditions they have and pay attention <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Passport-Cover>Kate Spade Passport Cover</a>  to signs and symptoms," he said. 
There's no treatment or vaccine for the respiratory virus. 
Only supported care such as hydration, rest, and staying away from other children can help relieve the symptoms, he said. <a href=http://www.cicviseu.net/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Mules>Jimmy Choo Uk</a>  
Seton Medical Center in Harker Heights has also noted an increase in similar cases in the last couple of weeks. 
The suspected culprit in the Midwest, where nearly 500 children were treated at one hospital alone in Kansas City, Mo., is called enterovirus 68, an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through the fall.
The virus typically causes illness lasting about a week and most children recover with no lasting problems.
