Title: The Spectrum of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) in Children Infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Abstract

Introduction: The impact of SARS?CoV?2 infections in children has generally been described as relatively benign. However, since April 2020, there have been reports of a new multisystem inflammatory illness affecting children and related to COVID?19 termed Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

Aim: To describe three cases of children diagnosed with MIS-C and discuss the disease spectrum.

Methods: We collected and reviewed data from three cases diagnosed with MIS-C admitted to our pediatric ward between October 2020 and January 2021.

Discussion: MIS-C is a newly described disease that spans a spectrum of phenotypes and severity, and while it shares clinical similarities with Kawasaki disease, it has a unique set of epidemiological, laboratory and prognostic characteristics. In this review, we hope to add to the understanding of this new entity.

Keywords: PIMS, MIS-C, Kawasaki disease, COVID-19, SARS-Cov-2
