Italian doctors think there is a link between COVID-19 and Kawasaki disease

Italian doctors believe there is a link between COVID-19 and rare inflammatory disease known as Kawasaki disease.

According to the foreign media outlets, in the last weeks, children from different countries who experienced Toxic Shock Syndrome and Kawasaki Syndrome have been hospitalised in the clinics. Doctors think those syndromes triggered COVID-19, but they cannot prove it as yet.

One of the doctors in the Bergamo Hospital said that since COVID-19 outbreak, the cases of Kawasaki-like disease increased by 10 %. Children with Kawasaki disease underwent COVID-19 antibody testing at the Bergamo Clinic. The results were positive.
