Childhood pneumonia cases are surging in the Netherlands and in China, health agencies have reported. Here's what we know so far about the mysterious increase in respiratory infections.
That was an increase from 83 the prior week, according to the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL). "They were locked down for all of 2022, and when you release the lockdown, all of the upper respiratory viruses — RSV, influenza, COVID — came roaring back."

This is a significant increase over the peak of the 2022 flu season, when the country recorded 58 cases of pneumonia per 100,000 children.
