Researchers find 'clue' behind rare, coronavirus-linked inflammatory illness in kids
Fox News
A team of researchers from Mount Sinai claimed to have discovered an “important clue” behind a rare, potentially serious coronavirus-related inflammatory illness in children, called MIS-C.
As of July 30, the CDC noted over 4,400 reported cases of MIS-C, and at least 37 deaths. The latest findings published Wednesday in the Nature Communications journal stemmed from sequencing of blood samples which indicated a downregulation of so-called natural killer (NK) cells and an "exhausted" T cell subtype (CD8+), believed to contribute to the harmful bodily inflammation MIS-C patients can experience in the weeks following initial COVID-19 infection.More Related News
