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. ‘

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Teja Sajja decodes the success of HanuMan and other Telugu films, talks about his upcoming projects, and more.
When Prasanth Varma’s superhero film HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, was announced to be released alongside big films like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga in January this year, no one expected the underdog to emerge on top. And yet, the film, made on a budget of under ₹50 crore, managed to collect over ₹300 crore at the box office worldwide in 25 days, becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films for the year.

Ask Teja about the moment he realised his film had not just fought against the tide but also risen to the top; he tells Hindustan Times in an exclusive conversation, “Since I returned to acting (as a lead actor after being a child artiste since 1998), this is the moment I’ve been waiting for. When everything from the HanuMan teaser to the songs was grabbing attention, we knew we had hit a gold mine. But I don’t think we imagined it would cross the ₹300 crore threshold. We were so satisfied with the opening numbers; everything else was a bonus.”

‘Success has given me fear of disappointing people’

Teja acted in Zombie Reddy, Ishq and Adbhutham before HanuMan, but they are what you would call ‘critical successes’, adding to his repertoire as an actor who can perform. But things have changed for him now, says Teja, who is being picky about the roles he says yes to. “Success either makes you overconfident or gives you the fear of disappointing people; I have the latter,” he explains.

Teja admits he wants to chart out his career in Hrithik Roshan’s footsteps, but not in the way you think. “I have such a fondness for Hrithik due to Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. No matter how well he performed after that, these left a lasting impression on me; I’m sure 90s kids will agree,” he says, adding, “Similarly, I’ve realised that I have an audience in children now. I want to be conscious of that when I pick roles. I want to make films families can enjoy together.”

But despite people in places like Mumbai or Delhi recognising him, Teja says he’s clear that he wants to cater to the Telugu audience first. “I am conscious that I am making films for my playground – the Telugu states. This is the sensibility I have grown up with, and I don’t know if I can cater to everyone else. Will I promote my films in other languages? Sure. But I also can’t be part of films that aren’t authentic to what I know or understand,” he explains.

‘Rootedness has put us on the world map’

And authenticity seems to be the need of the hour. Be it Baahubali and RRR or the recently released Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kalki 2898 AD and Devara: Part 1, certain kind of stories seem to be finding success. “Rootedness and going local is proving to be such a boon for us, be it in Devara or Pushpa or HanuMan. Kalki 2898 AD was our version of a Hollywood film (the sci-fi concept) with actors from across languages in predominant roles; it put us on the world map,” reflects Teja.

However, the actor admits Tollywood went through a phase of Bollywood-inspired rom-coms and family dramas that worked in their favour for a while. “That wasn’t easy to replicate either, but it’s just that these local stories are what the audience seems most interested in now. It can’t just be chalked up to religion, too. It’s about the morals these films are hinged on, the fighting for righteousness, and how an underdog can find their strength. Introducing Mahabharata or Ramayana to a new audience in a cool way is just a perk,” he says.

And it’s this rootedness that Teja says his next films, Mirai and Jai Hanuman (the sequel to HanuMan), will also have ample of. “Mirai is also a superhero film that caters to kids, but it’s not an origin story like HanuMan. It has a pan-Asian and Buddhist touch because the story is based on King Ashoka’s ideologies. I hope that I will get to deliver something new to the audience again. I will only feel like I’ve arrived if Mirai is equally, if not more, successful,” says Teja.

Rishab Shetty will headline Jai Hanuman, but Teja also looks forward to shooting that. “I can’t wait to be on that set; it’ll be exciting. Now that we know India is ready to watch our films, I want to step it up. I want to shift gears and shoot for at least two films in 2025,” he says. As for what he will do next, Teja says he wants to up the ante. “When I got a SIIMA award for Zombie Reddy as a debutant, I remember telling Prasanth this would be the last award I get. But now that I won a Radio City Cine Award for Best Actor, I hope more awards will follow,” he signs off cheekily.
