Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare criteria for diagnosing hyperinflammation in children with COVID-19, focusing on adult COVID-19-associated hyperinflammatory syndrome (cHIS) against hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis criteria.
- Pediatric patients treated with intravenous anakinra during their stay in the PICU from July 2020 to April 2021 were analyzed for hyperinflammatory signs, clinical progress, and inflammatory markers.
- Findings showed that adult cHIS criteria effectively identified hyperinflammation in children, and most patients experienced reduced inflammatory markers and improved health after starting anakinra treatment early.
