VIRTUALLY all children infected with Covid suffer from serious blood vessel damage, scientists have warned. <\/p>\n
The US study found a "high proportion\u201d of kids with the bug had elevated levels of a biomarker tied to this type of cardiovascular\u00a0injury.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And this was even the case for those who didn't get very ill from the infection.<\/p>\n
Dr\u00a0David Teachey, from the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia, said: \u201cAlthough most children with Covid-19 do not have severe disease, our study shows that there may be other effects of SARS-CoV-2 that are worthy of investigation." <\/p>\n
Blood vessels are channels that carry essential nutrients, like oxygen, to all the organs in the body. They also carry waste products away.<\/p>\n
Damaged blood vessels can cause blood clots, \u2018leaky\u2019 vessels and reduced blood flow, according to the British Heart Foundation.<\/p>\n
