Kawasaki Disease-Like Symptoms Seen In Children Infected With Covid-19 In Delhi
Symptoms of Kawasaki seen in Corona infected children have been found in several hospitals in the national capital Delhi. These symptoms include body rashes and swelling. Kawasaki is a type of syndrome, the cause of which is not yet known. It is believed that this disease affects children under five years of age and it also causes fever.
In the last few months, many hospitals in Delhi have reported that children with Covid-19 symptoms have reported symptoms associated with a rare disease such as Kawasaki disease. Kalawati Saran, a Delhi-based hospital for children in the country, has reported five-six cases of children with fever, rashes, respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. These are the symptoms that are found in Kawasaki disease. All these children were found to be COVID positive.
The head of Kalavati Saran Hospital, Dr. Virendra Kumar said ‘These are the most common symptoms that are prevalent worldwide. Other viruses can also cause this syndrome, but we are in the midst of an epidemic. It is likely that the disease is related to Covid-19. We are not saying at all that they were infected with Kawasaki, but they had Kawasaki-like symptoms. The children had unexplained tachycardia and some of them were in a state of shock. One child also died.

A report released by the WHO in May stated that groups of children and adolescents in Europe and North America needed to be treated in the ICU with Multisystem Inflammatory Condition (MIC) because of certain symptoms of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome.
Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi reported 6 cases in which four were found to be infected with Covid-19, while the other two had no antibodies developed to fight the disease. On Thursday, the hospital admitted a two-and-a-half-year-old boy who had fever and breathing problems.
Pediatrician in the hospital Dr. Dhiren Gupta said, ‘The child was feeling very cold and was infected three to four weeks ago. His blood pressure had fallen significantly and all parameters were pointing towards Kawasaki-like symptoms. This syndrome worsens the immunity system and can affect the heart, intestine, liver, and kidney. Three out of six such cases require an ICU. ‘
Experts point out that timely treatment and identification of symptoms play an important role. For example, a 13-year-old boy was suffering from fever and rushed to BLK Hospital. He had rashes on his body and suffering from fever. The family became worried and the child was found positive in the COVID test. He complained of vomiting and loss of taste as well as a high fever.
Dr. Sharma said, ‘The child has dried up and his blood pressure has reduced. His arms and legs turned cold and blue. The disease had progressed from a simple fever to a more serious condition where the disease affected his heart and kidneys. Blood sample reports taken for Corona were pointing to serious illness. In COVID multisystem inflammatory syndrome, the heart is usually affected in 50–60% of cases, and the child goes into unconscious state. ‘
