Taiwan reports 80,223 new COVID-19 cases, 159 deaths, first MIS-C case
08-06-2022, 06:07 PM
Among these new severe cases are three children -- a 4-year-old, 10-year-old, 12-year-old -- and a 16-year-old teenager, the CECC said.
The 4-year-old girl has epilepsy, and she was admitted to the hospital due to seizures on June 3, where she was found to have low oxygen levels and a fever of 40.7 degrees Celsius.
She tested positive for COVID-19, and while her seizures stopped after her fever subsided, she later experienced difficulty breathing and was put on oxygen support. Doctors have diagnosed her with encephalitis, and she is still being treated in an intensive care unit (ICU), the CECC said.
The 10-year-old boy, meanwhile, has been diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome-children (MIS-C), making him the first-ever MIS-C case in Taiwan. His condition was first made public by a National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) physician on Sunday and has been widely reported in the media.
MIS-C is a rare but serious condition linked with COVID-19 that affects children and causes different body parts to become inflamed. When it affects adults, it is called MIS-A.
The boy tested positive for COVID-19 on April 26 and had a fever that lasted for two days. On May 28, he began to have a high fever, swollen lymph nodes, a rash, swollen extremities, red eyes, vomitting, and diarrhea.
He was admitted to an ICU at NTUH on June 1 and diagnosed with MIS-C, but his condition has since stabilized, the CECC said, adding that he has no underlying health issues.
