Article Synopsis
- The study investigated short- and long-term cardiac complications in children with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) linked to different SARS-CoV-2 variants (original/alpha, delta, omicron) over time.
- Data showed that younger patients were more prevalent during the omicron wave and had significantly fewer cardiac issues compared to those in the alpha and delta groups, with only minor complications reported.
- Overall, while cardiac complications were more severe in older children during earlier waves, most cases resolved during hospitalization, indicating a favorable long-term outcome.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the incidence and management of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during periods dominated by different COVID-19 variants (Alpha vs. Delta/Omicron).
- Out of 108 analyzed patients, 68.5% were hospitalized during the Alpha phase, while 31.5% were during the Delta/Omicron phase, with most key clinical indicators remaining similar between the groups.
- Notably, respiratory symptoms were more frequent in the Delta/Omicron group, but overall treatment approaches, including the use of intravenous immunoglobulins and corticosteroids, showed no significant differences.
