The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health advisory to thousands of doctors, advising them to be on the lookout for an inflammatory syndrome that may be associated with Covid-19 infection in children.
The syndrome, called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children , has been seen in children across Europe and in at least 18 states, plus Washington, DC.Doctors in the UK first alerted other doctors to the syndrome in April. Since then physicians in other countries, including Italy and France, have reported clusters of similar cases.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said earlier Thursday that the state Department of Health was investigating 110 cases of the syndrome."It tends to present in children who were exposed to the Covid virus and actually now have the antibodies ... or still test positive for the Covid virus," Cuomo said at a news conference in Albany. The CDC said it was still gathering information about the cases.
