"Critical Health Alert: Parents Urged to Monitor Covid-Positive Children"
A study conducted in the US has revealed that a "high proportion" of children and teenagers who test positive for Covid-19 may experience blood vessel damage, leading to various alarming conditions. Researchers found elevated levels of a biomarker associated with vascular trauma in children with the virus, indicating potential blood vessel injury. The study also discovered that 86% of the children met the medical criteria for thrombotic microangiopathy, a rare disease causing clots in small vessels. Parents have been advised to monitor and test children with Covid-19 to better understand the virus's short and long-term effects on their cardiovascular health.
