New York, 24th February: A boy’s arms and legs got mutated due to the rare condition of COVID-19.
Baaghi TV: In the US, a ten-year-old boy underwent four amputations after developing a rare condition linked to the coronavirus.
According to reports, Dae-Shun Jamison, a resident of Michigan, was suffering from Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and had both of his hands and his left leg amputated this week. Whereas, his right leg was amputated earlier in February.
Dr Rosemary Olivero, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, said, “We see it happen in children that are otherwise healthy, so it does make it very challenging.”
Olivero informed, “The general way it’s going to go (is) you have the (coronavirus) infection, mild or not, you recover and then you develop this new illness that looks very different from an acute respiratory COVID.”
As per reports, the entire family of the 10-year-old boy contracted coronavirus a few months ago. He was asymptomatic, but his mother noticed about two weeks later that something was not right with him.
Autman said, “I noticed he started laying around. He said he had a headache and then the day before I took him in, the day I took him in, he had a high fever.”
Olivero further said, “The rule of thumb that we all keep going back to is that children are fine, children are fine and indeed children still have a much lower risk of having severe, acute respiratory COVID-19. That is still the case. However, MIS-C shows us one of the many rare, strange manifestations that coronavirus can cause that can make an individual very ill.”
Doctors have warned parents to look for signs of MIS-C after their kids get infected with COVID-19: fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes and fatigue.
After recovering from the surgery that took place on Monday, there will be more rehab, similar to the one Dae-Shun was previously been taking at the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids.
