A national research team investigated acute encephalopathy that rarely develops in children infected with the new coronavirus. The type commonly seen with conventional viruses such as influenza was the most common type.
It was found that 14 people, or 13% of the total, were susceptible to severe illness. Of the 14 patients with the type that is more likely to become seriously ill, 11 died. If you have symptoms such as prolonged convulsions or unresponsiveness to calls, please seek medical attention immediately.
