[Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with Covid].

Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (mis-c) Asociated with covid Although children are less susceptible to sars-cov-2 and less symptomatic than adults with low mortality, clusters of Septic shock associated with elevated cardiac biomarkers and unusual vasoplegia have been recently described and Treated by inotropes, vasopressors, and fluid loading. Both clinical symptoms (i.e., high and persistent fever, gastrointestinal Disorders, skin rash, conjunctivitis and dry cracked lips) and biological signs (e.g., elevated crp/procalcitonin, high Levels of ferritinemia) resembled kawasaki disease. In most instances, intravenous immunoglobin therapy with glucosteroids Improved the cardiac function and led to full recovery within a few days. However, adjunctive biotherapy (e.g., Anti-il-1ra, anti-il-6 monoclonal antibodies) was sometimes necessary. Although almost all children fully recovered Within a few days, some of them developed late coronary artery dilation or aneurysm. Thus, a new "multisystem inflammatory Syndrome in children" (mis-c) associated with sars-cov-2 has been identified, and its pathophysiology better Understood.
