AI Article Synopsis
- Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a serious condition linked to COVID-19, usually appearing 2 to 6 weeks after infection or exposure.
- A recent case illustrates that MIS-C can occur much later, specifically 16 weeks after the initial COVID-19 illness.
- This highlights the need for ongoing awareness of the risk for MIS-C even after several weeks have passed since a child had COVID-19.
