Abdominal pain, gastrointestinal problems and cardiac inflammation -- consistent with toxic shock syndrome and atypical Kawasaki disease -- are among the symptoms appearing, according to the NHS alert LONDON : British health authorities warned doctors over a growing number of children with a “multi-system inflammatory state" that could be linked to the coronavirus, while reassuring people any complications related to Covid-19 for children appeared rare.
The alert, posted on Twitter by the UK Paediatric Intensive Care Society and verified by a spokeswoman for the National Health Service, said there had been an increase in the number of children presenting the symptoms over the last three weeks, with some needing intensive care treatment.
