Child Dysenaaria

Child Dysenaaria is a form of the Dysenaaria brain disease that affects children. Children under the age of 10 are at most risk on contracting this disease, children between the ages of 10-16 are less likely to contract the disease while adults are immune to this disease.

Children who contract the disease will die within a month on average. This disease has a 100% mortality rate.

Child Dysenaaria is contracted through contaminated milk. The type of milk doesn't matter may it be breast milk, cow's milk or goat's milk.

Child Dysenaaria was the cause of a epidemic in Authorania lasting from 020 VTII to 029 VTII, killing 91% of newborns in that time.

History
Child Dysenaaria is a newer disease, formed from the Dysenaaria brain disease that affects adults. Child Dysenaaria was first documented during the pandemic of 020 VTII- 029 VTII. The epidemic lasted so long, for it took years for medical professionals to figure out the cause of the disease. They realized that the disease originated in cows, who passed on the disease through their milk. Children who drank the milk would contract the disease while mothers who drank the milk were immune to the disease but passed it on through their breast milk.

The epidemic killed 91% of Authoranian newborns and led to a population crisis for years after.

Signs and symptoms
Child Dysenaaria shares the same symptoms as Dysenaaria. Extreme headaches followed by weakness, loss of memory, loss of motor function and eventually loss of breathing resulting in death. The disease attacks quickly, with the symptoms occurring within a matter of days of each other.

Treatment
There is no cure for Child Dysenaaria, however, there are preventative measures discovered to prevent the disease from spreading. If a child dies from the disease, an investigation is conducted to figure out the source of the disease. If the mother alone had the disease, she is barred from breastfeeding future newborns. If the source is from milk, the farmer is made to kill all of his milk cows and replace them. This purging of a farmer's cow herd is subsidized by the government.
