This syndrome is characterized by fever, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal and cutaneous symptoms, and hemodynamic alterations. MIS-C has similar features to those of Kawasaki disease (KD), toxic shock syndrome (TSS), macrophage-activation syndrome, bacterial sepsis, meningitis. MIS-C is typically a progressive illness, and patients who initially had mild symptoms can develop severe illness with multi-organ dysfunction within a few days of symptom onset. The majority of affected children were treated with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), and several also received adjunctive high-dose steroids. The paediatricians should be aware about this new and potentially life threatening condition in children during COVID-19 epidemics</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Covid 19, Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome, children</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://revista-medicina-scolara.ro/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=9684&title=MULTISYSTEM INFLAMMATORY SYNDROME ASSOCIATED SARS-CoV-2, A NOVEL SPECTRUM OF PEDIATRIC ILNESS</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
