US doctors say they may have seen a possible complication of coronavirus infection in a young child: a rare inflammatory condition called Kawasaki disease.
National Health Service England sent an alert to doctors and on Sunday the Paediatric Intensive Care Society tweeted it out to members. It warned about a small increase in cases of critically ill children with"common overlapping features of toxic shock syndrome and atypical Kawasaki disease with blood parameters" with some children testing positive for Covid-19. There have also been some reports in Italy and Spain, doctors said.
"I think this is going to be a subset, of a subset, of a subset of individuals who develop it," Segal said."As far as we can tell, this is something exceedingly uncommon."CNN's Jacqueline Howard, Michael Nedelman, Simon Cullen, and Amy Woodyatt contributed to this report
