Recommendations for the suspected diagnosis and management of multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (Mis-c) in the context of a sars-cov-2 pandemic. april 2021

Abstract

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with COVID-19 (MIS-C) is a post-infectious complication described in children and adolescents with previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Because of its potential to evolve to severe disease-including cardiovascular impairment and multiple organ failure-it requires a prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, including intensive care for most cases. These guidelines compile recent information from scientific literature, from our local clinical experiences during the past pandemic year, and have been discussed by experts. The recommendations provided are meant to help the clinical work of health teams attending the pediatric population.
