According to data from the Brazilian Health Ministry, 14 children and young people have died in the country after developing a rare inflammatory syndrome as a result of contracting Covid-19. Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) is seen in people up to 19 years old who have previously been infected with the coronavirus. A total of 197 cases were confirmed.
The ministry said that despite these symptoms having to be observed carefully, occurrences “have been rare so far, given a large number of cases with good recovery.” The new syndrome has been seen in 14 of the country’s 27 states; Ceará tops the list with 41 cases confirmed, making up 21 percent of all PIMS patients in the country so far.
