Children routinely sanitize to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease at Farmington Family YMCA summer camp in Farmington Hills, Michigan, on Jun 23, 2020. REUTERS: Nearly 600 children were admitted to US hospitals with a rare inflammatory syndrome associated with the novel coronavirus over four months during the peak of the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report on Friday.

With rising COVID-19 cases, there could be an increased occurrence of MIS-C, but this might not be apparent immediately because of the delay in development of symptoms, said the report's authors, including those from the CDC's COVID-19 response team. As of Jul 29, state health departments across the country reported a total of 570 MIS-C patients diagnosed with the illness from Mar 2 to Jul 18.Among the MIS-C cases, all patients tested positive for COVID-19 and 10 died, the CDC said in the report.
