Children have had fevers and elevated levels of inflammation throughout the body. Some have been admitted to pediatric intensive care units. No deaths have been reported."This is happening all through Europe," she told NBC News."It is definitely happening in various cities on the East Coast and in some parts of the Midwest.
Though this new syndrome appears to be rare, if parents find that their child develops a high fever and"seems unwell," Newburger said,"they definitely should call their pediatrician and seek medical attention." Meanwhile, the National Institutes of Health is launching a study to determine exactly how many children in the U.S. have been infected with COVID-19, and if so, how the disease manifests.
The project aims to recruit 6,000 people from 2,000 families in 11 cities across the country. The participants will be tracked for six months.
