A pediatric pneumonia outbreak has been reported in Warren Countyin southwestern Ohio. The Warren County Health District has recorded 142 cases of childhood pneumonia since August.
"We do not think this is a novel/new respiratory disease but rather a large uptick in the number of pneumonia cases normally seen at one time," a WCHD spokesperson said in a Wednesday press release. "Every year, we get cases of children hospitalized for pneumonia related to infections such as RSV, influenza or COVID."
