Two cases of childhood and adolescent multi-organ inflammatory syndrome in Korea … Crown 19 infected person

After the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) was confirmed, 2 out of 7 national confirmed cases reported as suspected cases of multi-organ inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents were actually diagnosed with multi-organ inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents. Both recovered and it was confirmed that they had been discharged.

The Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Disease Administration) (Bang Dae-bon) made this announcement at a regular briefing held at the Osong Disease Office in Chungbuk in the afternoon of the 5th.

Pediatric and adolescent multi-organ inflammation syndrome is a specific case reported in children and adolescents infected with Corona 19 in Europe and the United States since April of this year. Two to four weeks after being infected with Corona 19, fever, rash, and multiple organ damage develop.

According to quarantine authorities, multiple organ inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents has occurred to date in 935 people in the United States, of which 19 have died. In France and the United Kingdom, 79 and 78 were reported, respectively, with 1 and 2 deaths respectively. Daebon Bang has also been capturing the current status of multicentric inflammatory syndrome in domestic children and adolescents since May 25. Of the seven reported since May 25, two of them have been subjected to epidemiological investigations, laboratory tests and expert meetings. It was found to correspond to the inflammatory syndrome.

The first case, an 11-year-old boy, remained in the Philippines from January to March this year, and was hospitalized from April 29 to May 11 for fever and abdominal pain.

The boy was initially classified as a non-conforming case at the expert judgment meeting after reporting on May 25. However, as the positive results were confirmed in the antibody test performed later, the final case was confirmed at the expert case evaluation conference held on the 28th of last month.

The second case is still 12 years old. He was discharged after being hospitalized from August 19 to September 1, but was hospitalized from 14 to 23 last month for fever and abdominal pain. After reporting on the 17th of last month, the boy went through a case trial meeting and was deemed compatible with multi-organ inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents.

Jeong Eun-kyung, director of Bang Dae-bon, said: “The level of COVID-19 is relatively low compared to Europe and the United States, and the outbreak of multi-organ inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents is rarely reported.” And we will continue to operate the investigation ”.
