In England, the death of an 8-month-old baby could be due to Kawasaki syndrome, linked to Covid-19. This infant is said to be the youngest British victim of this rare disease which affects children.
Last April, in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic, an 8-month-old English baby was carried away by what appears to be Kawasaki syndrome, a rare disease that inflames blood vessels, also known as MIS. -C, and probably linked to the coronavirus. This infant is said to be the youngest victim of this syndrome in the UK. Before dying of an aneurysm rupture at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, the English baby had no known health problems, and two hours before his death, he smiled and played with his mother, like any child of 8 month.
“You have to stop playing with people’s lives”
Upset, her mother launched an appeal to the British authorities: “The fact that the children return to school on June 1 is insane. Other children will die. Other parents will be in the same unimaginable situation, unless the government starts listening to the advice of scientists, she told the Mirror. Stop playing with people’s lives. The doctors and nurses who fought to save my son were amazing , but if they knew more about the Covid-Kawasaki route, they might have been able to do more. “
For this infant, the first symptoms of the disease were a rash that looked like sunburn, high temperature, and swollen lymph nodes. His hands and the soles of his feet then turned red. This syndrome usually affects children under the age of 14. To date, at least 4 other children – 3 in New York and one in France, in Marseille – have died from this disease. In Europe, 230 suspected cases have been reported, including ten in Italy, according to the British scientific journal Lancet.
