ABSTRACT
Aim:
We report two cases of pediatric patients diagnosed and treated for pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS) symptoms. Materials &methods:
Two previously healthy 3- and 4-year-old boys were referred to the hospital after 5 days of 39°C fever, with symptoms such as erythema multiform in the lower extremities, irritability, refusal to eat, restlessness, lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis and abnormal echocardiography.Results:
After 8 days of hospitalization, the patients showed normal laboratory tests, improvement of clinical condition and were discharged from the hospital.Conclusion:
This study raised several issues for physicians about SARS-CoV-2, its complications, diagnosis and treatment. Based on our results, pediatrics with PIMS-TS should be first screened for SARS-CoV-2, then treated with a combination of antivirals, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and intravenous immune globulin.
