Substantial alteration in gut microbiome observed in children with with MIS-C and COVID

A team of scientists from Turkey has recently evaluated the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in children diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) and acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They have observed significant alteration in the gut microbiota composition in children with MIS-C. These changes are associated with autoimmunity, metabolic dysfunction, and obesity.
