Doctors are investigating the case of a Winnipeg toddler with symptoms suggesting a rare, inflammatory illness potentially linked to COVID-19, the girl's mother says. The mother says health-care providers treating her daughter are concerned the girl may have developed Kawasaki disease, or multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, also called MIS-C. It's been more than a month since the one-year-old girl tested positive for COVID-19 in late April, the mother said. Canada documents roughly 100 to 150 cases of Kawasaki disease a year, for example, she said. "I think sharing knowledge and alerting the public is a very important component of this, so that people are alert and aren't afraid to come to the hospital," Yeung said.
