RAJKOT/SURAT: Parents of three-year-old Yash Gokani (name changed) panicked when he suddenly suffered convulsion some days ago. His parents had tested positive for Covid-19 and recovered.
Yash’s antibody test was positive, leading doctors to safely presume that he too may have been infected but asymptomatic. Further investigation revealed that Yash had suffered from multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a serious condition associated with Covid-19.
With the novel coronavirus gripping a large number of kids in this wave, doctors fear a bigger re-run of MIS-C which they saw in the previous pandemic wave too.
