The city hospital's Blood Testing Office admitted 300 children for blood tests on the same day, the hospital's Dr Nguyen Thi Ut said.
She added that most of them had digestive problems, pneumonia, bronchitis or asthma, largely caused by cooler weather.

Most of them came from the Cuu Long (Mekong) River Delta, according to the hospital's doctors.
