(Reuters) – Nearly six hundred young people were admitted to U.S. hospitals. With a rare inflammatory syndrome related to the new coronavirus for 4 months at the height of the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a report Friday.
Multisiste inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) is a rare but serious disease that accumulates symptoms with poisonous surprise and Kawasaki disease, adding fever, rashes, inflammation of the nodes and, in severe cases, central inflammation.
It was reported in young people and adolescents about two to 4 weeks after the onset of COVID-19.
With the accumulation of COVID-19 cases, there would possibly be an increasing frequency of MIS-C, but this may not be obvious because the progression of symptoms stops, the report’s authors said, adding those from the CDC’s COVID-19 Reaction Team.
In May, the CDC issued a fitness notice detailing how MIS-C manifests itself in patients and asked doctors to report suspected cases in the United States to state fitness services.
As of July 29, physical fitness in the country’s states reported a total of 570 MIS-C patients diagnosed with the disease from March 2 to July 18.
Of the MIS-C cases, all patients who were tested for COVID-19 and 10 died, the CDC said in the report.
The knowledge is consistent with two US studies in June and several reports on COVID-19 patients in France, Italy, Spain and Great Britain. [nL4N2E64AX]
The report, the CDC said, underscores the need for increased awareness among fitness service providers, as it is to distinguish MIS-C patients from those with acute COVID-19 and other hyper-inflammatory situations for early detection, early diagnosis and immediate treatment.
