Up to 5.8 million kids have long COVID, study says
Amanda Goodhart says her 6-year old son Logan caught COVID multiple times. But even months later, his symptoms didn't get better.
The research also shows long COVID can raise the chances of a child developing type 1 diabetes. And it can even be deadly, leading to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes the syndrome as a "rare but serious condition associated with COVID-19 in which different body parts become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs."
