This article appears to be a summary of the original paper. But, it leaves out some critical points - i.e.:
- The papers "Discussion" section concludes with: "MIS-C is rare but the potential long-term sequelae from this disease are currently unknown."
Also, the fact that it says:
- ”Children might have no symptoms, no one knew they had the disease, and a few weeks later, they may develop this exaggerated inflammation in the body.“
and then a few sentences later
- "...100% had fever, 73.7% had abdominal pain or diarrhea, and 68.3% suffered vomiting."
Seems contradictory.
- claudeganon 6y agoIt’s not contradictory. The children experienced none of the typical COVID symptoms during their initial infection, which present themselves in 2-14 days. Hence, they’re categorized “asymptomatic.” Subsequent to the infection (3-4 weeks), they develop MIS-C, which manifests with the cited symptoms.
