Description
Frank Phoya and co-authors check how children in Cape Town fare well after MIS-C, the body-wide flare that can follow COVID-19 infection in kids. Little was known about its long tail. The team followed 24 children who had MIS-C, and set them beside 20 children with a joint disease for contrast.
At a median of about 705 days, every child from the MIS-C group had fully recovered, with no complaints and clean exams. On a standard quality-of-life form, far fewer MIS-C children showed a weak physical score than the contrast group (16.7 versus 60 in a hundred). The middle-term outlook after MIS-C looks good.
