Last week, a 13-year-old boy from Kathmandu admitted to Kanti Children’s Hospital for treatment died of multisystem inflammatory syndrome, believed to be linked to COVID-19.

The deceased boy, who was infected with coronavirus a few weeks ago, was rushed to the hospital after suffering from respiratory complications. Doctors at the hospital, who attended to the patient found that his heart was not functioning properly.

“We could not save one boy who was suffering from multisystem inflammatory syndrome,” Dr Krishna Prasad Paudel, director at the hospital, told the Post. “This might be the first reported death from the ailment which has been seen after the start of the coronavirus pandemic.”
