In the last two weeks i have known quite a few children and now a few more of my employees have been suffering with what they call "Papera" here in Higuey.
The symptoms are an extremley swollen gland in the neck sometimes both that cause pain mainy due to the size of the swelling i think, and a fever.
It seems very contagious, but i have not come across this before and dont seem to be able to liken it to a virus/name that i am familiar with in order to research it a bit.
I really would like to know more so i can protect the rest of my workforce, my family and make some of you aware of this problem if it is indeed widespread. I would imagine if it is a virus that effects the glands to swell so much, men in particular would want to stay away from this problem
Has anyone else come in to contact with anyone suffering this problem?
Does anyone know the English name for such an illness?
Any info greatly appreciated, Thank you xx
