What in the world is going on? Last week, we were getting reports that hospitals in China were being absolutely overwhelmed by sick kids that had developed a condition known as "White lung syndrome". In many of these cases, "White lung syndrome" is being caused by "a bacterial infection that many antibiotics cannot fight". 'White lung syndrome' pneumonia - nicknamed due to how the lung damage shows up on scans - is caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae, a bacterial infection that many antibiotics cannot fight. In Ohio, there have been 142 child cases of "White lung syndrome" since August, and it is being reported that this "Meets the Ohio Department of Health definition of an outbreak". In Warren County, just 30 miles outside Cincinnati, there have been 142 pediatric cases of the condition - dubbed 'white lung syndrome' - since August, a figure health officials there described as 'extremely high'. In western Massachusetts, physicians are seeing 'a whole lot' of walking pneumonia, a milder form of the lung condition, which is being caused by a mixture of bacterial and viral infections.
