Harvard: Corona remnants in the intestines of children cause multiple inflammatory syndrome


A new research study from the American Harvard University revealed that the reason why children who were exposed to severe cases of corona infection with multiple inflammatory syndrome are the remains of the coronavirus in the intestine, which move into the bloodstream and infect the rest of the body’s organs, and the syndrome causes severe heart diseases and prolongs the child’s stay in the hospital, which An intensive treatment protocol that includes cortisone and intravenous immunoglobulin is required.


According to a report by time now news, a multidisciplinary research team, from Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, Brigham and Women's Hospital and other institutions, identified the mechanism that causes extremely rare but serious complications after corona that develops in children and adolescents.


The team of researchers, led by Lyle Juncker, assistant professor of pediatrics and pediatric pulmonologist at Harvard University, found that viral particles remaining in the intestine long after the initial infection with corona could pass into the bloodstream, leading to a condition called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. MIS-C).


In the current study, researchers measured high levels of coronavirus in the stool and high levels of zonuli or gluten sensitivity in the blood of children with multiple inflammatory syndrome, when they later detected viral particles in the blood.


 

What is Post-Covid 19 Syndrome in Children?

Children's Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C), according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, begins with an overactive immune response in children that occurs weeks after exposure to the coronavirus, a disorder in which inflammation can develop in various parts of the body and can lead to The disease leads to complications affecting the heart in children.


The risk of infection with the Corona virus in children


According to the World Health Organization (WHO), children under the age of 18 account for only 8.5% of reported cases, and there have been fewer deaths compared to other age groups and milder symptoms.


Corona virus affects young and old, but children are the least affected group, and there are a number of factors that make it especially safe due to the missing corona receptors in children.


How does post-coronavirus develop in children?

In post-Corona syndrome, inflammation occurs in children a few weeks after exposure to Corona, as fever develops, fluid forms around the heart, and heart valves begin to leak, and this is called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children at present, as the number of children who suffer from This syndrome is on the increase, and they develop fever, problems and disturbance of heart functions, so that a few may have to use respirators.
