Thankfully, this new syndrome is still quite rare and it is treatable, and most kids who develop it fully recover. No one knows for sure whether this new syndrome, which is now being called paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome, or PMIS, is linked to the coronavirus, but many doctors think so. Doctors haven’t identified any conditions or medical histories that put children at risk for the syndrome — except for coronavirus exposure. But again, because kids who get sick with the syndrome didn’t necessarily have any COVID-19 symptoms, it can be hard for parents to know if their children might be at risk. Even the few kids who do go on to develop this inflammatory syndrome usually get better.
