A New Rare Viral Disease Called "Tomato Flu" is Affecting Children in India ‐ Symptoms Comparable to Covid-19 and Blisters Resembles with Monkeypox Virus

[Gateway] In India, a large number of children have been diagnosed with a newly discovered infectious disease, and even professionals are uncertain as to where the outbreak may have originated.

According to a report published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine Journal, "tomato flu" was first discovered on May 6 in India and has since infected more children ages 1 to 9.

"Just as we are dealing with the probable emergence of fourth wave of COVID-19, a new virus known as tomato flu, or tomato fever, has emerged in India in the state of Kerala in children younger than 5 years," the Lancet Journal wrote on its website.

Tomato flu was first discovered on May 6, 2022, in the Kollam district of Kerala, and as of July 26, 2022, more than 82 cases in children younger than 5 years old have been reported by local government hospitals.
