Influenza, Covid, RSV, Norovirus, stomach virus, pneumonia

According to our local doctors and hospitals, our weekly summary of the spread of diseases in the Metro Detroit communities is the most.

Wayne County – Influenza, Covid, RSV, Norovirus, stomach virus, pneumonia

Dr. Tiffney Widner – Pediatrician, Michigan children's hospital

“A lot of flu A. There are also stomach bugs (viral gastroenteritis) this week. I think a big deal that repeats the flu this year is that the symptoms take about 2 weeks and that the cough is the last symptom to solve yourself. In addition, the outbreak of measles outbreak in Texas, including the first death of the measles, should be a memory to keep Kiddos up to date. If you do not have a regular pediatrician, contact us or your local Ministry of Health can lead you to a local vaccine location that is often free of charge. “

Sannid Saleh, Rn – Emergency Director for the Central Campus of DMC in Detroit in Detroit

“The emergency rooms in Detroit have an increase in seasonal diseases, whereby the flu cases are still high in addition to Covid-19 and RSV. While the Covid 19 cases have slightly decreased, flu activity remains a significant problem. Norovirus also contributes to the increase in visits and starts the health facilities additional stress. But as always, DMC remains ready to treat all patients with speed and quality. The waiting times are kept in the lobbies of the emergency room in the DMC Detroit reception hospital and the DMC Harper University Hospital. “

Dr. Asha Shajahan – family doctor, CoreWell Health Beaumont Large Pointe Hospital

Oakland County – respiratory viruses, influenza, covid, norovirus

Dr. Justin Skrzynski – Doctor of Internal Medicine, CoreWell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak

“At the moment we see a large number of respiratory viruses in the hospital and in the community, namely influenza. With the upcoming warmer weather, these numbers will hopefully fall quickly, but in the meantime it is important to stay on viral symptoms too consciously and at home or to wear a mask if you are sick. “

Dr. Rena Daiza – family doctor, Henry Ford Medical Center Bloomfield TWP.

“There are many upper respiratory diseases, especially influenza A that run around. Influenza A is very contagious. I encourage everyone to test themselves, to wear a mask if they don't feel good and look for medical care when their symptoms take longer than a week. “

Dr. Rachel M. Klamo – family doctor, Henry Ford Glennan Primary Care

“We see influenza A (flu) and covid with persistent cough and fatigue.

Washtenaw County – Influenza A, influenza B, secondary pneumonia

Dr. Stuart Bradin – Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics, Michigan Medicine

“Influenza A and many patients with secondary pneumonia. It is particularly difficult for these children who are exposed to a risk of breathing subjects, including those with chronic diseases and neurological disorders. RSV and Croup are still widespread. We also see an increase in Covid. Many children of college also have flu-like symptoms, including myalgia, fever, traffic jams, cough and many GI symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea with secondary dehydration. “

Dr. Brad Uren – Clinical Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Michigan Medicine

“Still see a lot of flu on adults, but also occasionally see Covid and RSV. These have been very rare in the past two weeks. There are many “other” uris. A little more GI disease this week compared to last week. “

Ministry of Health of the Washtenaw County

“Influenza cases in the residents of Washtenaw County are currently at a high level. Cases of influenza A and influenza b are reported. Most influenza cases reported in Washtenaw County are influenza A. Influenza A wastewater detection is currently at a high level in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. Influenza B sinking water is currently being detected at a low level in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. “

Monroe County – Influenza, Norovirus

Dr. Nicholas Schenk – Promedica Monroe Regional Hospital Family Medicine Residency

“In the pediatric population, influenza A presents itself primarily as a breath virus. Common symptoms are a high fever, followed by a persistent cough. We also see cases of Norovirus that typically cause significant vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms generally last one to three days and most children recover pretty quickly. In adults, influenza A remains the prevailing disease, although Norovirus is still circulating, especially in households with young children. Older adults have a higher hospital stay rate due to flu A. In the case of respiratory diseases that carry a mask at home – especially if not everyone is sick in the household – the spread can prevent significantly. Hand hygiene is essential for gastrointestinal diseases! “

MACAMB County – Influenza, upper respiratory virus, sore throat

Dr. Ali Saad – emergency doctor at McLaren Macomb

“The patients continue to test positively for influenza A in significantly high volumes, although there are signs that it takes advantage of it. While not positively tested for the flu, many patients show similar symptoms, coughing, congestion, slight fever due to a viral upper infection of the upper respiratory tract. Winter conditions still let many slip and traps and light soft tissue or orthopedic traumatic injuries. “

Dr. Maria Samuel – family doctor, Henry Ford Medical Center Sterling Heights

“Fortunately, we record a decrease in flu cases. Other infections of the upper respiratory tract and sore throat are still a problem. “
