12 Days of Duchenne Day 8 Its the time of year when flu season is upon us. This brings with it more dangers for a kid with Duchenne. In Duchenne children Flu can very easily turn to Pneumonia and with already weakened heart and lung muscles this can be deadly. It is especially dangerous for DMD patients who take regular glucorticosteroids since the steroids weaken the immune system. Also kids on steroids can not take Nurofen, a popular medicine with kids to help reduce temperature common in flus.
