Were the children located in any type of damp living conditions, that 
would preclude mold growth? There was an outbreak similar to what you 
describe reported here in the US in Ohio, it turned out not to be viral 
but rather a mold that was present in the homes of these children. Adults 
were not affected only growing children between the ages of 2 months and 
5 years, and not all within the same radius.

Could be a lead that you may not have thought about. 

Good luck,
Paris
