Holiday COVID-19 surge to blame for rising MIS-C cases in some US cities
ABCNews In recent weeks, hospitals in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Colorado, Nebraska and New Jersey have reported an increase in cases of MIS-C cases, a rare inflammatory condition found in children.
The apparent uptick in MIS-C cases coincides with a decrease in COVID-19 cases nationwide, in the wake of a post-holiday surge. But experts interviewed by ABC News explained that there is often a lag sometimes three to four weeks between COVID-19 infections and the onset of MIS-C symptoms. MIS-C is a post-infectious complication of coronavirus infection, which only manifests about four weeks, or longer, after a child has had their initial infection, said Dr. Audrey John, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children s Hospital of Philadelphia.
