News & Updates for Medical Professionals
We're doing our best to assure our patient families, associates and affiliates of our preparedness during the COVID-19 public health emergency. We want to work with you to ensure all patients get the most appropriate care.
MIS-C: A Serious COVID-19 Complication
While COVID-19 usually causes a milder infection in children than in adults, some kids can become seriously ill with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) — sometimes several weeks after being infected with COVID-19. Learn more about MIS-C.
If you have nonurgent questions about MIS-C or would like to request a consult on a patient displaying symptoms of COVID-19, please email covid19misc@nemours.org.
Return to Sports Physicals During COVID-19
Because of the finding that COVID-19 can leave student athletes at an increased risk of myocarditis and other serious complications, return to sports evaluations have changed and are more important than ever before.
Get guidance from Nemours Children's pediatric specialists on Managing Return to Sports Evaluations in the Age of COVID-19 (PDF) and use this Patient Screening Questionnaire (PDF) to assess risk.
