NHS doctors and GPs in the UK have been sent an alert warning them to look out for a rare but dangerous reaction in children that may be linked to coronavirus infection.

The alert said that in the past few weeks, intensive care departments in London and other parts of the UK have been treating children with a “multisystem inflammatory state” that looks similar to toxic shock syndrome or sepsis.

These young patients of varying ages have had gastrointestinal symptoms – tummy pain, vomiting or diarrhoea – and inflammation of the heart, as well as abnormal blood test results.

The alert, which was issued to GPs in North London by their clinical commissioning group but has now been shared more widely, advises such cases are urgent and should be treated as such.

It is unclear how many have been diagnosed with the illness, although the numbers will be low.

Some of the cases have tested positive for coronavirus but others haven’t.

There is “a growing concern” that a coronavirus-related inflammatory syndrome is emerging in children in the UK, the alert says, or that there may be another, as yet unidentified, infection linked to these cases.

You have a link for this and can it occur in young adults.

My son-in-law has had these symptoms for a month and tested positive for the virus.

Dotchnite,

No not at all, I just question how many are really staying awake all night worrying about the economy, or battered women, or suicides, or I they just using those issues as ammunition because their routines have been disrupted.

I understand that there are people genuinely concerned but therre are most certainly plenty who couldn't really give two sh1ts about those issues as well but are happy to use them in an argument.

People will be worried about the economy when it cant fund the NHS and half the Nurses are made redundant.

thegiggolo. Is everything in your life right or left wing? My current experience in the teaching profession is that they are appalling compared to NHS staff, Supermarket staff etc.

But you just carry on in your simple right wing/left wing world.

You do realise that everyday we stay in this severe lock down it costs the Treasury £3bn.

That is ultimately £3bn less for public services going forward.

thegiggolo. Anybody who doesnt see the need to get the economy back to work is naive at best as it pays for every public service we need.
My anguish as you pathetically phrase it is simply that I want our NHS to exist in its current form next year and pensioners to continue to get their pensions. Why cant you see that without ranting about right/left wing nonsense.

There was a study done by the Department of Biomedical Engineering , Northwestern University and Boston Medical Center , posted April 10th titled

"The Role of Vitamin D in Suppressing Cytokine Storm in COVID-19 Patients and Associated Mortality ."

They found a pattern of two peaks , one in very young patients and one in the elderly population . they hypothesised that cytokine storm and

immunosuppression were major reasons for admission to intensive care units . They were possibly activated by the innate immune system in the under

4's and the adaptive immune system in the over 60's . this part of the study was based on 63,002 cases from Spain .

It was removed a few days after I read it as the medical research had not been evaluated so could't be used to guide clinical practice .
