DOUGLAS COUNTY - The first case of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, a condition believed to be related to COVID-19, has been reported in Douglas County.
The Douglas County Health Department says on Monday that a boy under 12 years of age has been hospitalized after presenting with atypical Kawasaki disease.
In this case the child showed a rash, fever, fatigue and abdominal pain.
MIS-C can lead to multiple organ inflammation. While MIS-C can be deadly, most children recover with medical treatment.
Many children who have MIS-C have been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or have tested positive themselves.
