| Sumario: | Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) is a newer, rarer and dangerous childhood disease that require early attention and is
associated with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection. This article reports four clinically ill children of age 6-15 years
admitted to Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, during October and November 2020. The diagnosis was based on
elevated laboratory values (D-Dimer, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and Ferritin) and positive COVID-19 antibody test. No infectious
aetiologies were identified. All patients presented at Emergency Room (ER) with hypotensive shock and were treated with inotropic
support, Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg), and steroids. Children responded well to treatment and were discharged within a
period of 8-11 days. Clinical characteristics are necessary for understanding more about newly identified paediatric illness. |
