Читать книгу More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea - Tom Reynolds - Страница 14

I went to two cases of adult chickenpox last night. The hospital says that there was another adult with chickenpox the day before that. It seems like we have a little outbreak here.

As both my patients were Nigerian, I have a sneaky feeling that the big (mainly Nigerian) church in Newham may be where the disease was spread and the timing of the symptoms would support this.

As one of the families had school-age children with the disease, I’m going to guess that a lot of children will be ill over the next few days.

Off the top of my head, I can’t remember if I have been vaccinated against chickenpox—but I do know that I had it twice when I was a child, both times at Christmas.
