Hi Dr. Crystal! Love your newsletter every week. What was your source on the MIS-C? Sorry if I missed it in the text. Thanks, Andrea (former patient 🤱🏻and currently working on MIS-C)

Hi Andrea,

Great to hear from you! The MIS-C data was reported by the CDC here https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/whats-new/get-vaccinated.html

It says "Since the summer, public health officials have been tracking a rise in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is caused by COVID-19."

You could try contacting the Virus division at:

E-mail: ncirddvdinquiry@cdc.gov

Viral Diseases: 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636)

Cheers,

Dr. C

Thanks for the heads on on the long covid European conference. It looks great. I Just watched the video of Dr. Al Aly's presentation to Raina MacIntyre's group @Globalbiosec in Australia which she posted on her twitter feed. A one hour presentation which was very informative.

I was just wondering how you found out about the European conference? It was not posted by anyone that I follow.

I found out about the Demystifying Long COVID conference on Twitter because people that I follow were talking about it. The research presented was really insightful.

thank you for this...an important correction is needed where you quote journalist Ed "Fong" and it is Ed YONG
