Over the past month, as we saw the number of COVID-19 casualties increase in Barbados, one of the saddest cases involved that of a nine-year-old girl who succumbed to the pandemic. Her case was unique in that it was attributed to a new aspect of COVID-19 which has surfaced over the past year, namely Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C.
President of the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners (BAMP), Dr Lynda Williams, stated that the condition was first detected a year ago and was similar to another phenomenon called Kawasaki’s disease. “In April 2020, doctors in the United Kingdom first started seeing symptoms of a condition called Kawasaki’s disease in some children that had either tested positive for COVID-19 three or four weeks previously or were currently dealing with it.
