A coronavirus-related disease is now hitting children. What parents should know
Health officials are increasingly sounding the alarm on what could be a COVID-19-related illness in children that’s been reported in at least 14 states and five European countries.
“It’s a wide array of symptoms, as you can see, which makes it even harder for parents to know exactly what they’re dealing with,” Cuomo said during his daily coronavirus presser. But just how dangerous is it, and how come we’re only hearing about this now? Dr. Purvi Parikh, a pediatric allergist and immunologist at NYU Langone Health, walked MarketWatch through what is known about PMIS. Keep in mind, however, that we’re still learning about both COVID-19 and this new illness in children, so this information is subject to change. Stay up-to-date by checking your local health department or visiting the CDC’s coronavirus website.
“ “We don’t want people to panic…The majority of kids don’t get it. And even if they do, they do very, very well [with treatment].” ” The short answer is, we don’t know yet, especially since we can’t be 100% sure what exactly is causing this in children until more research has been done. One theory that Parikh shared is that PMIS is a “delayed manifestation” of COVID-19 in children. “Often long after viruses are gone, they can cause inflammation or immune changes in your body,” she explained.
