"China is likely experiencing a major wave of childhood respiratory infections now as this is the first winter after their lengthy lockdown, which must have drastically reduced the circulation of respiratory bugs, and hence decreased immunity to endemic bugs," said Prof Francois Balloux of the University College of London Genetics Institute.
Prof Paul Hunter, of the University of East Anglia (UEA), said at present there was too little information to make a definitive diagnosis of what was causing the infections.
He added: "Overall, this does not sound to me like an epidemic due to a novel [new] virus. If it was, I would expect to see many more infections in adults. The few infections reported in adults suggest existing immunity from a prior exposure."

It is possible that as many as six people in the country have died from the flu so far this year, a Ministry of Health doctor said yesterday.
The ministry is advising the public, particularly vulnerable people, to take preventative measures and get immunized against influenza.
The immunization is available at all health centres.
Dr Sirjusingh cautioned that “the flu is not the common cold. The flu is a more serious disease which could lead to hospitalisation and unfortunately may cause death”.
Dr Sirjusingh said most people may not get very ill from influenza. “You will get sick, yes, but the average person will fight it off,” he said.

***Vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children six months and over, and persons with non-communicable diseases are more at risk, Alexander-Campbell said. She said vaccination was the best choice, particularly for these groups of people.

More than 42,200 people were infected with the virus in 2023, the WHO said, a 45-fold increase from the 941 cases reported in 2022.
