WASHINGTON (AP) – The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning doctors about a serious rare inflammatory condition in children linked with the coronavirus.

In an alert issued Thursday, the CDC called the condition multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. The agency’s case definition includes current or recent COVID-19 infection or exposure to the virus, a fever of at least 100.4 for at least 24 hours, severe illness requiring hospitalization, inflammatory markers in blood tests, and evidence of problems affecting at least two organs that could include the heart, kidneys, lungs, skin or other nervous system. The name and definition are similar to those used in Europe, where the condition was first reported several weeks ago.
The condition has been reported in at least 110 New York children and in several kids in other states. A few children have died.
Some children may have symptoms resembling Kawasaki disease, a rare condition in children that can cause swelling and heart problems.
Reported cases have all involved children but the CDC said it is unknown if the condition can occur in adults.
Doctors should be on the lookout for the condition and report suspected cases to local or state health departments. It should be suspected in all deaths in children who had evidence of COVID-19 infection, the CDC said.
Children are less likely than adults to develop COVID-19 and their illnesses usually are less severe although they can spread the disease without showing symptoms.
they should LOCK UP these kids and maybe send them Rikers for Kids
The CDC is nothing more than a left-wing Soros funded propaganda machine.
My son had this syndrome 40 years ago as a child. It was scary but he overcame it in a few days with no side efects at all.
Doctors were familiar with it.
In these times every litlle quirk is immediately blamed on Corona.
Nonsense !!!!
When your kids get sick do you call Fox News or do you call your doctor? Over 200 children have Kowasaki disease as a result of Covid-19 in USA. Are you a Covid Denier? Do you drink BLEACH or take prescription drugs?
Well, well , look at yankel defending a kapo self hating jewskunk.
Rodef Archy said kids can’t get it or spread it and who would have more medical expertise than him? He has got to send his kids to camp so that they don’t suddenly become drug dealers or serial killers! This is clearly a conspiracy between CNN, the Illuminati and Joe Biden – so just open up those camps!
