Dr. Robert Fern with Waynesboro Pediatrics says there aren't any major sicknesses in high frequency. He's just seeing seasonal allergies and asthma.

However, an alert has been issued to watch for severe gastroenteritis due to E. coli in the wake of the recent outbreak at the Boy Scout camp in Goshen. Children with bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain should see a physician immediately.

In Page County, Dr. Jeffrey Feit is seeing a lot of enterovirus. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Other than that, he says things are pretty slow.

If you are a doctor in the Shenandoah Valley or in the Potomac Highlands and you are interested in contributing to this weekly report, please e-mail me at feedback3@whsv.com.
