Isn't this similar to the adult patients? There is inflammation. Children are known to test negative for the SARS virus.

This more or less indicates children have far less body tissue to invade and the virus moves quicker in children to include other body systems besides the lungs. The viral load needed to cause tissue damage in children is most likely smaller than adults and that may be why the children are testing negative when these symptoms manifest. The tests are not specifically designed to test children. The tests are designed to test adults.

The alert, which was issued to GPs in North London (click here) by their clinical commissioning group, said there was "a growing concern" that a coronavirus-related inflammatory syndrome is emerging in children in the UK or that there may be another, as yet unidentified, infection linked to these cases.

These young patients of varying ages were extremely ill. They had similar features to toxic shock syndrome, which can include a high temperature, low blood pressure, a rash and difficulty breathing.

Some also had gastrointestinal symptoms - tummy pain, vomiting or diarrhoea - and inflammation of the heart, as well as abnormal blood test results.

Experts say these are the signs you can see when the body is becomes overwhelmed as it tries to fight off an infection.

The alert, which has now been shared more widely, advises these cases need urgent treatment.

But experts stress that very few children become severely ill with coronavirus - evidence from around the world suggests they are the population least affected by the disease....

How old are the parents of the children developing illness? Younger people show up far less in the demographics of COVID-2. Are the parents being tested after their child became ill? Age 45 or older is where the demographics show more victims. Age 75 or older is when infestations kill nearly 50 percent of the victims. I still think an infusion of White Blood cells would help this group.
