Europe and North America have reported small numbers of children with a severe inflammatory condition.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has now commented on the outbreak.
He says the condition's symptoms are similar to Kawasaki's disease and toxic shock syndrome, but very little is known about it so far.
He called on all clinicians worldwide to work with their national authorities and the WHO to be on the alert and better understand this syndrome in children.
