Two weeks ago, only two or three children a day would come into Dr. Nick Hysmith\u2019s hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, with Covid-19, usually ones who were admitted for other reasons, like broken bones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, he is seeing as many as 28 children under 18 a day, some of them landing in the intensive care unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the country,\u00a0child hospitalizations for Covid-19 have increased\u00a0to levels not seen since January, when U.S. cases and deaths were at their highest levels, according to the latest government data. Doctors in the hospitals hardest hit by the recent surge say the situation is worse than it was in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happened fast: As of Wednesday, U.S. hospitals were tending to an average of more than 1,200 children a day, twice the number from the end of July and four times from the start of July, according to an NBC News analysis of data released this week by the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data show the U.S. facing another peak in child hospitalizations as the delta variant of the coronavirus hits communities hesitant to get vaccinated. And while\u00a0unvaccinated adults are filling ICUs in parts of the South, minors in those areas are filling up the pediatric wings at an alarming pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hysmith, who is medical director of infection prevention at Le Bonheur Children\u2019s Hospital, said the influx was alarming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe went from single digits with not really sick kids to 28 kids in a matter of a few weeks, and some of them are quite sick,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Shelby County, which includes Memphis,\u00a037 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated, compared to Tennessee\u2019s full vaccination rate of 40 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An increase in cases of respiratory syncytial virus, an illness that primarily affects children and has symptoms similar to those of Covid, has also made things worse, Hysmith said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re sitting at about 95-97 percent occupancy right now, which is normally where we are in the dead of winter,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that’s concerning, because we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen in the next couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troubling spike in Covid cases among children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HHS data show that pediatric hospitalizations when adjusted for population are highest in Alabama, Florida, Delaware, Louisiana and Oklahoma; in all but Delaware, full vaccination rates are lower than the national rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other data show an accelerating trend, including a\u00a0study released this month by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which showed\u00a0that Covid cases among children rose in the first week of August to more than 93,800 from a low of about 8,400 in June. Reuters reported that the U.S.\u00a0hit a record of 1,900 children hospitalized\u00a0on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitalizations are rising as some children return to the classroom in an acrimonious back-to-school kickoff that has politicians, parents and school officials fighting over mask mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Texas, which leads the country with an average of 219 children a day in the hospital for Covid, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, issued an executive order last month banning vaccination and mask mandates. Several school districts defied the order with mask mandates, and on Sunday,\u00a0the state Supreme Court temporarily\u00a0blocked such mandates in Dallas and Bexar counties. (Abbott tested positive\u00a0for Covid on Tuesday.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas, with 45 percent of the state fully vaccinated, is averaging 15,000 Covid cases a day, at the higher end of state Covid rates when adjusted for <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the pandemic, pediatric hospitalizations were rare, but with the more aggressive delta strain, children are now packing hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida has the second-highest number of hospitalizations, at an average of 188 children a day, as of the latest figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Marcos Mestre, the chief medical officer at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital in Miami, is keeping a close eye on the number of minors in beds with Covid symptoms as school starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the hospital has had 86 patients so far in August, up from 76 in all of July and 16 in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we continue at this pace, we\u2019ll be at our highest number of patients in a month\u201d since July 2020, \u201cwhich was our peak in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest\u00a0report from the Florida Health Department, 44 percent of the state\u2019s teenagers have been vaccinated. Half of Florida\u2019s population has been vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Alabama, where pediatric cases have started to rise, an average of 43 children a day are in the hospital with Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a pretty busy week,\u201d said Dr. Scott James, a professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who treats patients at Children\u2019s of Alabama hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe began seeing increased hospitalizations in children towards the end of July. And we\u2019ve now surpassed our previous peak from last January,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James said that most of the older children being hospitalized are unvaccinated teens and that it has been difficult having families walk their children through ICU-level care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn our profession, we\u2019re called to be near suffering. So we\u2019re right where we want to be. We\u2019re here on the front lines serving in this pandemic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
