'Pediatric Multi-Organic Inflammation Syndrome' is a disease that was originally known as'children's disorder'.

Our quarantine authorities asked us to use it as a'multi-organ inflammatory syndrome' recommended by the World Health Organization's WHO rather than a child's gangrene.



Multi-organ inflammatory syndrome is suspected to be associated with a novel coronavirus infection.



The Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters also said, "The two confirmed cases of multi-center inflammatory syndrome in Korea developed the syndrome 2 to 4 weeks after having a positive corona reaction or contact history."




Multi-organ inflammatory syndrome was first reported in Europe in April and reported to have occurred in the United States, Spain, Italy, France, and the Netherlands.



This disease is known to show symptoms similar to the so-called ``Kawasaki disease,'' and even death. Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile rash that usually occurs in infants and young children aged 4 years or younger.



Multi-organ inflammatory syndrome is known as a new rare disease in that the exact cause has not yet been identified, and unlike Kawasaki disease, it affects adolescents as well.



The World Health Organization (WHO) stated, "In patients under 19 years of age who have fever for more than 3 days, rash, non-purulent conjunctivitis, skin mucosa inflammation, hypotension or shock, myocardial dysfunction, or coagulation disorder. , In the case of acute gastrointestinal disorder, two symptoms appear at the same time" is defined as a multi-organ inflammatory syndrome.



Usually, blood vessels are inflamed, causing symptoms such as rash, muscle pain, and eye congestion along with high fever. In the United States, adult patients in their 20s have come out.
