At least three pediatric patients at Children’s Hospital Colorado are suspected of having developed "pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children,” or MIS-C, Fox 31 reported.

In fact, a seemingly growing number of states have reported cases of MIS-C in pediatric coronavirus patients in recent weeks.

The syndrome has been said to affect children who test positive for a current or recent infection of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Previously, Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital (YNHCH) in Connecticut announced three cases of the condition in pediatric coronavirus patients there.

The cases are said to be the state’s first and have since been reported to the Connecticut Department of Public health, the hospital said in a news release.

Jacqueline Szmuszkovicz, a pediatric cardiologist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, recently said that children who have a fever that lasts for four or more days should seek medical attention.
