Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)

Extremely rare and it has been known for weeks.



Have they officially decided that this is different that Kawasaki Disease?

Ah yes, there’s the WAFB breaking news alert to my phone right on cue. 13 cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children in Louisiana and 1 has died.

Most kids who get covid-19 will be completely asymptomatic

Around 1/5,000 who get covid, who actually will likely be asymptomatic from covid, will develop this inflammatory response AFTER they have beat the virus

Of those who get this inflammatory response, almost all will fully recover.

So, thats the facts

Also of note, almost all viruses can and sometimes do cause an inflammatory response in random children, but you likely wont hear that from the media.

Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles

Here’s an article that says they are different
quote:

If my child was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease recently, should I contact my child’s providers?

Yes. It is likely that you have already been contacted for testing to validate whether your child has Kawasaki’s disease or MIS-C. At CHLA, Our goal is to test any patients who have been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease following the arrival of COVID-19 and developing a follow-up plan for each family.

There really should be no fear of this for parents

Extremely rare, and also extremely treatable. Parents should just take note of the symptoms because if your child is treated relatively early this is pretty simple to treat

Since this site will want to know, my wife is a pediatric nurse of 10 years and they have been grilled on this by parents left and right


Scruffy can give more info Im sure

ETA: Also, this has been public news with cases in Louisiana since 3 weeks ago. Not sure how JBE is "breaking" this now

I don't know if that's necessarily saying they're different, though.

They noticed an increase in cases for the month of April, then correlated that to the CoviD-19 outbreak by using antibody testing.

Is it still the case that only a percentage of these cases are testing positive for antibodies? Not that that would be conclusive for a few reasons.

Not all cases are testing positive for antibodies

But like I noted earlier, an inflammatory response like this in children isn’t exactly unique to covid-19. This is also a know thing for many adenovirus strains

Killing grandma wasn’t enough to scare us into submission so now they’ll threaten our kids to make us bend the knee

Right. They haven't really pinned down what causes Kawasaki Disease, as far as my limited research has shown.

It appears 2-3 weeks after some infection...OR it appears 2-3 weeks after being exposed to some environmental allergen like spores or molds. Also coincides with the changing of the seasons. And kids in new homes, clean homes lacking germs, get it more often.

It's almost like all three things happened at once (seasons changed, infection out there, and infection causing people to disinfect like mad), and they're pinning it on the thing that is most scary...

Hmmm.

I would say it’s definitely linked to covid. Our health system has definitely seen a slight rise in these cases, and a new virus strain likely would cause more of a reaction from ones immune system

But, it’s extremely rare and very treatable and no reason for panic at all

An uptick in these inflammatory type responses during a new virus outbreak with most of the patients with the inflammatory response testing positive for antibodies is a fairly strong link

Not everything covid related is a conspiracy. People and parents need to be made aware, but should not panic

Just because some will use it for fear porn does not mean medical experts shouldn’t make people’s aware

Clockwork

All these people run to Facebook and to air all of their opinions into neatly organized databases, and give our government/media everything they need to know how to adapt the panic

"trending topic on twitter is that children can't get this disease -- so let's run the Fujiyakahama disease tomorrow morning with a story about a dead kid... across all networks"
