It was found that multiple children with symptoms such as "Kawasaki disease", which causes inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body, were reported in Japan in connection with the new coronavirus.
All of them are recovering, and the Japanese Society of Pediatrics and others are calling out, "You don't have to worry too much, but if your child becomes infected, be careful for a few weeks."
This was clarified by the Japanese Society of Pediatrics posting a joint document with the Japanese Society of Kawasaki Disease on its website.
According to this, although the number is small, there have been multiple reports of children with symptoms similar to "Kawasaki disease" related to the new coronavirus in Japan.
Unlike Kawasaki disease, these cases are thought to be "pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome" that was reported one after another after the spread of the new coronavirus in Europe and the United States, and are characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and rash. ..
All of them have recovered by treatment.
According to the people involved in the academic society, it seems that the child who had the symptom was infected with the new coronavirus or was a close contact, so the academic society is investigating in detail.
The two societies say that you don't have to worry too much, and if your child is infected with the new coronavirus or if you have an infected family member, you may have symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and rash for several weeks. I'm calling for your attention.
