A virus that you've probably never heard of is expected to increase this spring, causing breathing problems. Health experts are warning us not to blame the usual suspects like flu, RSV or Covid for a runny nose.
The virus was first identified by scientists in the Netherlands in 2001 and is spread through close contact with an infected person or by touching contaminated areas or items. It causes a short illness, lasting two to five days, and then goes away on its own. People often catch this bug unknowingly and are only tested for it in hospital. It can lead to serious conditions like bronchiolitis and pneumonia, which might require a hospital stay.
