CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS AND 5
HAVE DIED. I SPOKE EXCLUSIVELY
WITH A FAMILY WHO JUST WENT
THROUGH THIS AT ST. LOUIS
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
DOCTORS AT ST. LOUIS
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TELL ME
THEY'VE HAD A COUPLE OF RECENT
CASES OF COLLEGE PSAKI
DISEASE. A RARE INFLAMMATORY
CONDITION THAT CAN BLOCK BLOOD
FLOW TO THE HEART. DOCTORS AT
CHILDREN'S AND ACROSS THE
NATION ARE NOW EXAMINING
WHETHER CALLOUS A KEY IS
COVID-19 RELATED MANY OF THE
CHILDREN IN NEW YORK HAVE
TESTED POSITIVE. 15 YEAR-OLD
ANTONIO LEWIS AND HIS MOM CAME
TO ST. LOUIS FROM PHOENIX TO
VISIT HIS GRANDPARENTS FOR
SPRING BREAK ON MARCH 10TH. I
STARTED NOTICING THAT HE
STARTED HAVING LIKE A OUT HIT
COLD.
WHERE HE WAS STOPPED A
RUNNING NOSE AND HE HAD A
LITTLE OUT TEMPERATURE
DANIELLE TOOK HIM TO THE
DOCTOR AND WAS SENT HOME THE
RASH CAME ON HIS ARMS HIS LEGS
IN THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEELS,
ANTONIO DEVELOPED PINK EYE AND
A HIGH FEVER DANIELLE TOOK HIM
TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE SAYS
HE WAS TESTED FOR COVID.
BUT WAS NEGATIVE I COULD
BARELY MOVE MY LEGS AND IT A
WALK AND GET BUSY.
AND I WERE YOU I WAS ALL
THIS. IT SHOULDN'T WORK. IT'S
CERTAINLY WORTH. DOCTOR SENT
HIM TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HIS
TEMPERATURE WOULD NOT GREAT IT
WAS ONE '04. I WOULD SAY FOR
ABOUT WE CAN HAVE DOCTORS AT
CHILDREN'S DIAGNOSED ANTONIO
WITH KAWASAKI DISEASE HAPPY.
TO HAVE SEEN HER FOR MORE
THAN 5 DAYS AND THEN A
COMBINATION OF RASH A BIG WIN
NOTE IN THE NECK, MAYBE YOUR
EYES ARE RED LIKE WHAT WE CALL
CONJUNCTIVITIS SWELLING OF
YOUR HANDS AND SEE CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL DIDN'T TEST ANTONIO
FOR CORONAVIRUS WE NEVER
TESTED ANTONIO IT'S REALLY
EARLY ON IN THE MIDST OF THE
PANDEMIC AND WE'RE STILL KIND
OF IN THIS PHASE OF POORLY
IT'S DEFINITELY APPEARING
TO STIMULATE AN INFLAMMATORY
RESPONSE EVEN IN OUR CHILDREN
THAT RESEMBLES A SCHOLAR
SOCKING DISEASE THAT'S RELATED
TO THIS THE CORONAVIRUS AND
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN A LOT
MORE AND I WOULD SAY AND THEN
NEXT WEEK'S TO MONTZ WILL GAIN
MORE AND MORE INFORMATION NOW
DANIELLE SAYS KAWASAKI'S LEFT
ANTONIO WITH AN ACTIVE
ANEURISM IN HIS HEART HE TAKES
ASPIRIN DAILY TO PREVENT A
STROKE. SO WHAT KINDS OF
THINGS ARE YOU NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO DAY.
BASKETBALL FOOTBALL. ALL
TYPES OF 4.
A 3 DAY SPRING BREAK TRIP
TO ST. LOUIS THEN ENDED 59
DAYS AND ON LIFE CHANGING
DIAGNOSIS LATER, THEY SAID
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING
TO BE WITH HIM AND THAT THEY
JUST HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE
ON IT. BUT IT DOES NOT EXPECT
THAT WAY.
SO THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR
SURE IF ANTONIO HAD COVID AND
KAWASAKI IS TO TEST HIS
ANTIBODIES AND HIS MOM TELLS
ME HE'S GOING TO HAVE THAT
DISCOVERED JUST ABOUT 3 WEEKS
AGO SO DOCTORS ARE STILL
LEARNING ABOUT THIS AND A
LIFETIME TO DEAL WITH YOU NOW.
WE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
