Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with Bacille Calmette-Guérin scar: a case presentation.

Background: During Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the WHO reported a noticeable increase in Kawasaki disease prevalence in countries where Kawasaki disease is rare. This newly seen disease, unlike typical Kawasaki disease, tends to appear at a later age, has prominent gastrointestinal findings, higher rates of myocarditis and coronary artery involvement and a greater need for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Induration of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) scar is a rare finding seen in multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C).
