Fifteen kids in New York City have been hospitalized with a rare, life-threatening inflammatory syndrome “potentially associated with COVID-19,” health officials said in an alert Monday night. Four of the 15 children with suspected Kawasaki disease also tested positive for the coronavirus, the city’s Health Department said. Six others tested positive for having COVID-fighting antibodies. Kawasaki disease is a rare childhood illness that causes the walls of blood vessels in the body to become inflamed. Symptoms include high temperature that lasts for five days or longer, redness in the eyes, rashes and swollen glands in the neck. /New York Post
