So, let’s chat about something that might be on your mind these days—Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, often called MIS-C. It’s a rare condition that’s been linked to COVID-19, and I know that can sound a bit scary, especially with all the parenting challenges we’re facing during this pandemic.
MIS-C can affect various parts of a child’s body, including the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Basically, it causes inflammation that makes these organs not function properly. While experts are still figuring out the exact causes, they have found that many cases occur in kids who recently had COVID-19. Symptoms often include prolonged fever and issues with multiple organs.
Initially, most reports of MIS-C came from New York, but as of now, cases have popped up in 49 states, with over 5,000 reported in the U.S. That said, it remains quite rare.
