At least 3 children with coronavirus at LA hospital develop rare inflammatory condition possibly linked to COVID-19
By Madeline Farber | Fox News

Some patients at a California children’s hospital have developed a rare inflammatory condition possibly linked to the novel coronavirus. The condition has also been reported in recent weeks in pediatric coronavirus cases in New York and the United Kingdom.

At least three patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles displayed signs of the pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome, or PIMS, which doctors have said is similar to Kawasaki disease, or a condition that causes swelling in medium-sized arteries throughout the body. Kawasaki disease, which primarily affects children and has less than 6,000 diagnosed cases in the U.S. each year, often leads to inflammation in the coronary arteries, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Teen in Seattle ICU for rare illness linked to coronavirus
The condition, which has been found in children who test positive for coronavirus, causes potentially deadly symptoms.

SEATTLE — A potentially deadly new illness thought to be linked to the coronavirus is impacting children.

The condition is rare but has been seen in seven states, including Washington state.

“We assumed our son had allergies because he had a little bit of itchy eyes and you know, just felt a little punky,” said Theresa Lawson.

Her 13-year-old son Anthony started feeling sick a week ago with itchy eyes, a low-grade fever, dizziness, a headache and a rash.

He tested negative for the coronavirus at urgent care and told it was probably an allergic reaction.

But his symptoms went from mild to deadly in a matter of days.

“He was now having problem breathing, we couldn’t get any kind of oxygen reading on him. His lips had turned bright red, his eyes, all the whites of his eyes were solid red. His fingernails started to turn blue,” Lawson said.

what is going on with this...is it that it was there before but they didn't realize it was linked to this..

it seems like another version of an attack...

--------------------

so for those with blood disorders.....I did find this older article which is interesting. Things may have changed greatly since then since is is 30 years old,..my search continues:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1600-0609.1981.tb01370.x

I cant read it all because you have to be a member but :

The ‘antioxidant’ enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) were found greatly elevated in red blood cells of subjects with β‐thalassaemia minor and similar to normal values in red blood cells of subjects with β‐thalassaemia major. These findings allows us to speculate that red cells in β‐thalassaemia minor react to the increased oxidant threat with augmented antioxidant enzyme activities. The normal levels of antioxidant enzymes in β‐thalassaemia major seem to be due to the presence of normal red cells owing to multiple transfusions."

Humans have L amino acids and D sugars. It's the property of rotating plane polarized light when passed through a solution containing the substance. Leverotatory (left), Dextrorotory(right). Organic chemists have a secondary labeling using the letter R (R being rectus or right) and S (S being sinister) for classifying organic molecules. The R/S design is strictly determined by the molecular weight of the items on the carbon atom. The lowest weight is oriented away from you. The next heaviest is oriented up. The two remaining are traversed from lower to higher weight. If left, then S. If right, then R.

The D or L plane polarized behavior can only be determined my measurement. This may be complicated by racemization where a mix of both D and L are present.

O-chem was one of my favorite classes on the pre-med track. Easy A in lab and lecture.

well heck..after all of that...is L-glutathione better than glutathione with no L or are they really just the same thing

A lot of them on Amazon don't have the L

I am not even sure if I should take it but I am going to have it on hand just in case. I dont want to be at home after ER refused to test me only to crash in the middle of the night!

Things are looking up. Saw a lot of traffic yesterday. If we work smart, the customers will keep coming.

Many herbs and spices Americans use can be grown in your own backyard.

Garlic is ridiculously easy.

Sage, oregano, and thyme are all perennials.

Parsley is a biennial so you can save the seeds from that.

Rosemary is a perennial in some climates but can be brought indoors in the north.

Basil is also easy and the seeds can be saved.

Stuff like cinnamon and nutmeg, well, just have to be bought and stored. However, whole nutmeg will keep better , you just need a grinder.

Vanilla is problematic.

I put any herbs I grow in a canning jar in the freezer. They keep far better that way.

I was considering doing the BJ’s senior hour at a local store and my son told me not to. According to the local community chat room, the place is PACKED for that hour.

He said to go later. I did and it wasn’t all that crowded.

Never heard of that.

Is that natural vanilla or artificial?

They or their moms may not have lived to see this Mother’s Day. Especially if mom was in one of those nursing homes.
