Case Report: Pediatric Patient with COVID-19 and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rarely manifests with severe complications in pediatric patients. An association between COVID-19 and a Kawasaki-like inflammatory syndrome has recently presented in pediatric patients. CASE REPORT We report a unique case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children presenting with characteristic findings in a child who later developed cardiogenic shock requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. CONCLUSION: Recognition of these early signs and symptoms facilitates screening and risk stratification of pediatric COVID-19 cases associated with increased morbidity.
