In New York, 232 kids have been diagnosed so far with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C. New York state officials continue to track the syndrome, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not respond to repeated requests for information on how many children nationwide have been diagnosed with MIS-C. Studies published June 29 in the New England Journal of Medicine reported on 186 children in 26 states who were diagnosed with MIS-C by May 20. A researcher writing in the same issue added in reports from other countries, finding about 1,000 children worldwide have been diagnosed with MIS-C.
