Recently, there has been a growing number of children (and adults) with symptoms of fever, runny nose and conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the white of the eyes.
It causes redness of the eyes and yellowish discharge.
The cause is most probably the highly contagious Adenovirus.
Adenovirus can also cause other clinical syndromes, such as gastroenteritis (fever, vomiting and diarrhea) pneumonia (severe cough and shortness of breath) and a rash. The symptoms may last from
7 – 10 days.

Hand in Hand Humanitarian Mission Quang Binh 2007
"It is probably easier to choose to help the richest of the rich, ather than the poorest of the poor."
The Family Medical Practice Vietnam went on another humanitarian medical mission from 13 May 2007.
Dr. Rafi Kot, General Director, FMP:
This was the second year we headed off on our annual rural medical project. It is probably easier to choose to help the richest of the rich, rather than the poorest of the poor. When I set trail to the Ho Chi Minh road for 8 days, covering some 1,200km and numerous districts, communes, border villages and other remote areas, I did not know what to expect.
Although working in Vietnam for 20 years, 7 of them in rural remote areas, it always strikes me how much is needed and still to be done.
