Pool fever - Pool fever

Japanese: プール熱 - ぷーるねつ
Pool fever - Pool fever
An acute viral infection caused by adenovirus. It is common among children and school-age children, and is transmitted through the hands and saliva of an infected person. Its official name is "pharyngoconjunctival fever," but it is commonly called "swimming pool fever" because it is often spread through swimming pool water. It usually spreads mainly in the summer (June to August), but it can also occur in winter. Once infected, after a 5-7 day incubation period, symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, and conjunctivitis appear. There is no specific treatment, and symptomatic treatment is the main focus. It usually heals naturally within about a week. As it is designated as a Class 2 infectious disease under the School Health and Safety Act, if infection is discovered, students will generally be suspended from attending school until two days have passed since the main symptoms have disappeared.

Japanese:
アデノウイルスによる急性ウイルス性感染症。小児や学童に多い疾患で、感染者の手や唾液などを介して感染する。正式名称は「咽頭結膜熱」だが、プールの水を介して流行するケースが多いことから、一般に「プール熱」と呼ばれる。例年、夏季(6~8月)を中心に流行するが、冬季にも発生することがある。感染すると、5~7日の潜伏期間を経て、主に高熱、のどの痛み、結膜炎といった症状が現れる。特別な治療法はなく、対症療法が中心になる。通常は1週間程度で自然治癒する。学校保健安全法で第2種感染症に指定されているため、感染が判明した場合は主要な症状がなくなってから2日間経過するまで、原則として出席停止となる。
