ABSTRACT
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe complication of SARS-CoV-2 infections in children. This syndrome manifests about a month after the initial viral infection and is characterized by fever, multiorgan dysfunction, and systemic inflammation. This chapter will review the emergence, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, pathophysiology, immunomodulatory treatment, prognosis, outcomes, and prevention of MIS-C. While the pathophysiology of MIS-C remains to be defined, it is a post-infection, hyperinflammatory syndrome of childhood with elevated inflammatory cytokines.
