In New York, 85 children have a rare inflammatory syndrome
The New York State Department of Health is investigating 85 cases of toxic shock in children associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s press service.
According to state guidelines, children have symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease or toxic shock, possibly caused by the coronavirus. Two children, ages 5 and 7, as well as a teenager died from the disease.
According to Cuomo, the Department of Health is now considering the cases as a complication of COVID-19.
“The Center for Disease Control is asking New York to develop a national criteria for the disease, and the state is also collaborating with the New York Genome Center and Rockefeller University to conduct a study to help us understand it. This is a terrifying development, but you can be assured that we are doing our best to learn more and inform our parents, “the governor said in a statement.
On his Twitter, Cuomo wrote that the number of sick children can reach 85.
New York has become one of the largest COVID-19 outbreaks in the United States. Now in the United States, more than 1.3 million patients with coronavirus disease were registered, of whom more than 79 thousand died.
Doctors in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland have identified a similar syndrome in children, which may be associated with the coronavirus.
