MIS-C is also referred to as Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with SARS-COV2 (PIM-TS).

Common symptoms of MIS-C in babies show as a rash and/or diarrhea. In older children, the symptoms are respiratory.

MIS-C is similar to Kawasaki’s disease, although the symptoms usually resolve in contrast to Kawasaki’s disease.

Treatment for MIS-C includes:
• supportive care and observation
• maintaining volume status as dehydration worsens symptoms
• steroids
• IVIG
• Interleukin blockers
• anti-coagulation
• cardiology work-up with an EKG and cardiac echo
