– The disease has killed three young New Yorkers. This is new and a development, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
On Friday, he announced that a five-year-old boy had died with symptoms of Kawasaki disease. It was the first known death in the state believed to be due to the disease and believed to be caused by the coronavirus.
Two more children are now dead.
Last week, the New York Times wrote about several children admitted to New York hospitals with symptoms associated with the rare kawasakis disease.
It is a rare fever disease that can cause the body’s blood vessels to become inflamed and, if left untreated, will form exposures to the coronary arteries.
It usually affects young children. In addition to fever, some of the symptoms are abdominal pain, skin rash, and swollen glands. As a general rule, the disease goes away on its own.
worried
At the Saturday press conference, the New York governor did not announce anything about the age of the three children or the circumstances surrounding the deaths. But he said he was concerned about what might seem like a new risk to children infected with the coronavirus.
Until now, children generally appear to have much milder symptoms of Covid-19 than adults.
– We are no longer sure this is correct. Chances are this has been going on for several weeks, but it hasn’t been diagnosed with a link to Covid-19, says Cuomo.
The New York hospital has mapped at least 73 cases of children with symptoms of Kawasaki syndrome, writes The Guardian.
Several of the children should not have shown typical signs of coronavirus such as respiratory problems when they arrived at the hospital. But all of the children tested positive for the virus or antibodies in the crown, the governor said.

Will calm
A press release from the US Heart Association confirms that some children appear to have symptoms of kawasakis. At the same time, they want to emphasize that it is rare to reassure parents.
– We want to reassure parents, this seems strange. Most children with symptoms of kawasakis recover, writes associate professor and director of the kawasakis program at Boston Children’s Hospital, Jane Newburger.
She has worked with Kawasaki disease since the 1980s.

Similar cases have also been reported in Europe.
In the UK, a 14-year-old boy died of symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which also tested positive for a crown, according to a publication in The Lancet.
A total of 8 children ages 14 to 4 are mentioned in the report. All associated with Kawasaki disease. However, not everyone has tested positive for corona, but several have been exposed to the virus by other family members.
In several countries, medical experts are now collaborating on the coronavirus, and outbreaks of Kawasaki disease may be related.
Kawaski’s disease was first discussed in 1967 by Japanese pediatrician Tomasu Kawasaki.
