Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children was first reported in Britain in late April. FMTNews Covid19
WASHINGTON: US health authorities issued an alert Thursday over a rare but sometimes deadly autoimmune condition among children that is believed to be linked to Covid-19.
The criteria include fever, multiple inflamed organs that cause severe illness requiring hospitalisation, a confirmed active or recent coronavirus infection and no other plausible causes. The CDC said that physicians should “consider MIS-C in any paediatric death with evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection,” referring to the virus that causes Covid-19.Sunil Sood, a paediatrician at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York, told AFP that some children had very mild forms of illness, but about half of the patients that he and colleagues had seen had to be treated in intensive care for heart inflammation.
