A small number of children who contracted the coronavirus suffered brain damage, according to a new study.
As Yahoo Life reported, ever since the coronavirus pandemic first emerged, it has been largely thought to spare children, instead mostly sickening the elderly or people with underlying health conditions. Indeed, the health community estimates that fewer than half of children who are exposed to the virus even develop an active infection, and those who do almost uniformly fight it off without ever developing symptoms.
However, the virus has infected some children, however small the number, and indeed, the ways in which it has affected some kids have been horrifying.
Specifically, as previously reported by The Inquisitr, some children sickened with the coronavirus developed what is known as Multisystem Inflammatory State. Caused by the body’s immune system’s response to the virus, the syndrome, similar to Kawasaki Disease, which also primarily affects children, the illness causes blood vessels and organs to become inflamed.
