Scientists at Italy Announced ten cases of children with crown, who have symptoms similar to rare inflammatory disease Kavasaki. The average age of the children (seven boys and three girls) was seven and a half years while none died.
The announcement, the first clearest association of Covid-19 with Kavasaki disease, comes after similar findings by doctors in Brittany (where the first cases and the first death of a child were reported), in NY (where about 100 children infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus showed symptoms similar to those of Kavasaki disease and three of them died), in France, in Spain and to Switzerland.
Italian doctors, led by a pediatrician Lucio Verdoni Pope John XXIII Hospital of Bergamo, made the relevant publication in the medical journal “The Lancet”.
««We note an increase in the number of children admitted to our hospital with an inflammatory disorder similar to Kavasaki disease at approximately the same time as the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in our area. Although this complication is still very rare, our study provides further guidance on how the virus can affect children.“Said Dr. Verdoni.
««I have no doubt that Kavasaki disease in these patients is caused by SARS-CoV-2.“Added the hospital pediatrician, Dr. Lorenzo D’Antiga.
Your symptoms Kavasaki – the cause of which has always been unknown – include abdominal pain, high fever, nausea, vomiting, severe skin rashes, and high blood biomarkers. They are treated with high doses of aspirin, anti-inflammatories, and immunosuppressants. But if treatment is delayed, the child, due to inflammation in the blood vessels, may develop Heart problems.
In Lombardia, Italy only 19 children were diagnosed with Kavasaki disease during the five years prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, while this year in the period from February to April there were ten cases that resemble this disease. According to the study, over the past two months, pediatric cases like Kavasaki show a 30-fold increase compared to the time before the pandemic (so only one Kavasaki case appeared on average every three months).
The children were admitted to his hospital. Bergamo With Kavasaki-like symptoms in the midst of a pandemic, they are at least three years older than children diagnosed with Kavasaki prior to the pandemic (they were generally babies approximately three years old). They also have more severe symptoms than in the past, with more than half of heart complications, compared to just two in 19 before coronary heart disease. Another half has signs of toxic shock syndrome (which can lead to organ failure), a complication that had not occurred at all in children with Kavasaki prior to the pandemic.
««In our experience, only a very small percentage of children infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus show symptoms of Kavasaki disease.“Confirmed the pediatrician from the same hospital Dr. Analysis Gervasoni. It is estimated that, at most, one in 1,000 children exposed to the coronavirus will develop Kasavaki-type symptoms, and a smaller percentage of them will have to be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) due to serious complications.
In the past and other viruses were associated with Kavasaki disease, such as retroviruses, Epstein-Barr virus, and chlamydia. To date, however, no virus has been confirmed to be the cause of this disorder. In any case, more research will be needed to convince doctors that the new settler is “shooting” Kavasaki. It should be noted that Kavasaki disease is considered one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose in pediatrics.
