White Lung Syndrome: The world is in danger due to a new, mysterious disease called “White Lung Syndrome,” which originated in China. Globally, this illness has begun to spread over time. In addition to the United States and the Netherlands, reports of cases have also come from Denmark. In the US state of Ohio, 142 cases of “White Lung Syndrome” were reported on Saturday. According to the Ohio Department of Health, declaring it to be an outbreak is being considered.
Predominance Among 3 to 8-Year-Old Victims
“Pneumonia White Lung Syndrome” is the name given to this novel, enigmatic illness. The age range of the majority of this disease’s victims is 3 to 8 years old. Although the exact cause of the disease is unknown, some researchers have hypothesised that the Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria may be its primary cause. Its infection affects the lung systems.
Distinct from China’s Respiratory Illness

Given the rising number of cases, experts are beginning to suspect the arrival of a new threat. It would be incorrect to make any firm statements at this time.
