美国全国广播公司 （NBC）最新报道显示，纽约已发现93名儿童感染一种疑似与新冠病毒有关的“炎症综合征”。

美国纽约州州长科莫表示，至少已经造成3名儿童死亡，另外2个死亡案例正在调查中。

New York may have as many as 93 cases of children presenting with a new pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome likely linked to COVID-19. At least three children have died, and two more deaths are under investigation, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.

《纽约邮报》报道称，科莫称，该疾病的症状与罕见的川崎病相似。他表示，检测很棘手，因为该疾病“并未表现出新冠肺炎的典型症状”，它的攻击对象是血管和心脏而不是呼吸系统。

…Cuomo said of the mysterious sickness that mimics the rare inflammatory condition Kawasaki disease.

Cuomo said that it has been tricky to detect because it “does not present as a normal COVID case,” by attacking blood vessels and the heart rather than the respiratory system.

在当地时间9日的发布会上，科莫曾表示，“患病的孩子正好有新冠病毒抗体，或者新冠病毒检测呈阳性。”纽约州目前正在进行研究以更好地了解这种疾病。

"As it turns out, these children happened to have the COVID antibodies, or be positive for COVID…," Gov. Cuomo said Saturday.

Cuomo said, adding that the state……will conduct further studies to better understand the illness.

他认为，这可能预示着儿童面临大流行病的风险，并提醒其他州注意儿童出现的新症状。

症状包括发烧、肠胃病症和皮疹

当地时间6日，美国纽约州卫生部门曾发表声明称，该病症状与中毒性休克综合征和川崎病相似，可能出现发烧、肠胃病症和皮疹。要求所有医院如发现该病例立即上报。

据悉，川崎氏病是一种全身血管发炎的疾病，最常见的症状为无法用常规药物治疗的发烧、颈部淋巴结肿大、红眼、生殖器部位、嘴唇、手掌或脚底长出皮疹，其他症状则有喉咙痛和腹泻。

欧洲多地现儿童罕见综合征

疑似与新冠病毒有关

《纽约时报》报道称，儿童较少感染新冠肺炎，且大多数症状较轻。但是近期，欧洲和美国的部分孩子出现严重病情，包括皮肤、眼睛、血管和心脏等部位出现炎症。

The coronavirus has largely spared children. Most confirmed to be infected have had only mild symptoms. But doctors in Europe and the United States have recently reported a troubling new phenomenon: Some children are becoming seriously ill with symptoms that can involve inflammation in the skin, eyes, blood vessels and heart.

据路透社报道，英国卫生大臣马特·汉考克称，英国近日出现罕见的炎症综合征导致多名儿童死亡的案例，他认为这种病症与新冠病毒有关。

Some children in the United Kingdom with no underlying health conditions have died from a rare inflammatory syndrome which researchers believe to be linked to COVID-19, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Tuesday.

汉考克称，这种疾病可能是由新冠病毒引起的，但有些患病儿童核酸检测为阴性，所以还不能百分之百确定。

"It's a new disease that we think may be caused by coronavirus and the COVID-19 virus, we're not 100% sure because some of the people who got it hadn't tested positive…"

英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）医学总监史蒂芬·鲍维斯表示，NHS系统已经注意到这个现象，已请国家儿童和青年临床主任紧急调研解决此问题。

"I've asked the national clinical director for children and young people to look into this as a matter of urgency," Powis said.

据悉，在欧洲地区，西班牙、意大利等国也都发现了有儿童突发类似症状。

据央视新闻报道，在这些病例中，有的孩子出现了川崎氏病或中毒性休克综合征 （TSS）的临床表现，有的孩子尽管身体相对健康，但他们的病情仍然可能会在数小时内迅速恶化，出现休克、心动过速、低血压等情况。
