On November 13, at the 11th Vietnam - US Pediatric Conference in 2025, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Nam - Pediatric Center, Bach Mai Hospital - said: B order cyst is a bacteria that is endemic to healthy people's throat. However, in young children, the elderly or people with weakened immune systems, bacteria can enter the lungs, blood or cerebral cortex and cause dangerous diseases, even threatening their lives. This is a type of bacteria that causes many dangerous diseases in both children and adults, can leave many dangerous complications and even cause death if not treated promptly.
At the Pediatric Center - Bach Mai Hospital, in the first 9 months of 2025, the strain of the strain will account for 12% of bacteria classified in the inpatient area. Notably, in the outpatient area, identification results showed 55% of cases of pneumonia caused by staphylococcal bacteria, reflecting the great burden of disease caused by this factor in the community.
Children are most susceptible to loudspeaker attacks because their immune systems are not yet complete. In addition, children are often exposed to the environment of kindergartens and kindergartens; and are susceptible to respiratory viruses such as flu, RSV or adenovirus - factors that increase the risk of plaque outbreaks causing disease.
The bridge is transmitted through drops when coughing, sneezing or through hand - nose - mouth contact. Notably, people with symptoms-free bacteria can still be a source of infection for healthy children.
"Growing vaccinated not only protects children from serious illnesses, but also helps reduce the spread in the community by reducing the rate of people carrying frost in the throat. It is impossible to predict who will be seriously ill. Many children with perfect health can still develop severe and critical conditions in just a few hours. Meanwhile, antibiotics are not strong enough at present, because many strains of whooping cough are resistant to drugs such as penicillin, macrolid, cephalosporin... Therefore, vaccination is the only proactive and sustainable measure to protect children from whooping cough. The earlier the vaccination, the higher the protection effect" - Dr. Nam emphasized.
Also at the conference, Vietnamese and US pediatric experts discussed nearly 10 in-depth topics such as emergency resuscitation, infectious diseases, immunology - neurology, digestion - nutrition, diagnostic imaging and neonatal care.
Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co - Director of Bach Mai Hospital - said that as a special-class general hospital with many leading specialties, we always focus on international cooperation, updating knowledge and applying high technology to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment, especially in the field of Pediatrics.
He said that the Bach Mai Hospital Pediatric Center has closely coordinated with the hospital's specialties, deploying many modern techniques to handle difficult cases, contributing to improving treatment effectiveness for children.
