🏴 11 y.o. Shenan Gnanaraj from Chesterfield #England struggled to breathe & began hallucinating due to multisystem inflammatory syndrome. He had a 50% chance of living. A heart valve & artery supplying blood to his heart is damaged. #KidsLivingWithCovid derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/ch… 
Ganga said: “The people at A&E couldn’t understand why he had been sent home twice. They realised he was really poorly, but they thought he had lymphangitis because of the lump on his neck.
"Another paediatrician assessed Shenan and realised that Ganga was right, but by this stage, Shenan’s condition had deteriorated drastically, and doctors were unsure whether he would survive."
“We were there in Sheffield for 2 weeks & they were giving him the maximum dose of everything they could. They were using the Great Ormond Street guidance for #PIMS, but they said his case was unlike anything they had seen before, b/c they just couldn't get the temperature down.
“My GP asked where Shenan was at an appointment the other day, and I told her he’d had PIMS, and she asked me what that was - none of them had heard of it.”
PIMS is Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome. In the U.S. we call it Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
