Deadly syndrome that gives children heart problems linked to coronavirus by scientists
coronavirus that occurs in children causes "profound immune system changes", scientists have said. Researchers found that young patients with acute paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with Sars-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS) have raised levels of molecules, called cytokines, and reduced levels of infection-fighting white blood cells, called lymphocytes.While cytokines help the immune system suppress infection, overproduction of these molecules can cause severe inflammation, which can harm the patient.
