Kids’ COVID-Linked Ailment Is Not Your Typical Kawasaki Disease

As data continue to emerge about a multi-system inflammatory disorder in children apparently connected to COVID-19, evidence is growing that this is not your typical Kawasaki disease.

In New York, up to 102 children have reportedly developed this inflammatory syndrome, and three children have died from it in the state as of Wednesday. Other cases have been reported in Washington, California, and elsewhere in the U.S. as well as in Europe.
