\More information about it What is known about pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome During the pandemic, cases of children with an inflammatory syndrome that has common characteristics with other known ones, such as Kawasaki Disease, have been detected. It is the most serious spectrum associated with covid- in children. But it is rare, as shown in the \registry of the we have seen it in % of hospitalized children, but it is estimated that the incidence in the general population is less than %. The good news is that thanks to what has been learned in other countries, and the experience in the first wave of the pandemic, the response to treatments is very good. Can this syndrome now be linked with complete certainty to covid-? The exact relationship with Covid- has not yet been demonstrated, but it is striking.
That a new pediatric syndrome appears in temporal coincidence with the pandemic and that is why it is thought that there is a microbiological association. Why has it been seen less in Spain than in other countries? We don't know, it is also being investigated. It is thought that there are underlying genetic causes that could make certain populations more susceptible. In this second wave we hope to continue AOL Email List seeing cases, but we have well established action protocols, we are prepared. With the current situation, in which infections are increasing every day, how do you see the opening of schools? Our position is that we must respond to children's need to receive education in a stable manner, recovering schooling activities as much as possible. It's fundamental. Studies indicate that the most important thing to do is to maintain physical distance and do as many outdoor activities as possible.
Also, of course, the mask and hand hygiene; respect the ratios per class, the bubble groups; and that positive cases be closely monitored, streamlining surveillance of suspected and confirmed cases. Even when there is community transmission? Now in Madrid we can say that there is, with many asymptomatic cases, and yes, we still recommend returning to schools with the aforementioned measures. The AEP has issued some recommendations in this regard. Children must socialize with their peers, they need it. Furthermore, for many children, school is a place of care that they do not have in other places. Are you seeing children with problems derived from school closures? We are seeing very difficult situations, parents who cannot stay with their hospitalized children because they cannot stop working, families who really do not have anything to eat. We see this in the consultations. And outside of the hospital environment, the food banks in the neighborhoods cannot cope.
