Pune: A particular post-Covid-19 syndrome in children, medically termed as “multi-
system inflammatory syndrome in children” (MIS-C), has been keeping child
specialists across the city on their toes.
MIS-C can trigger high-grade fever, rashes, eye redness, vomiting and loose motions.
Occasionally, children may also suffer low blood pressure, which will need ICU care.
Doctors have urged parents to be vigilant and identify these signs early. Recovery,
they said, is 100% if there’s swift treatment.
“The number of children presenting with Covid or Covid-like symptoms has reduced
drastically in the last week. But we are seeing quite a few children with post-Covid
problems such as MIS-C,” said paediatrician Sachin Shah, director of the paediatric
and neonatal intensive care unit at Surya Mother and Child Super-speciality Hospital,
Wakad.
Parents, especially of those children who have had Covid or were exposed to people
with the infection, have been asked to stay alert.
