Description:
\n<\/b>Children presenting with COVID-19 associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), with hyperinflammation-like Kawasaki disease (KD), have dominated public discussion during the COVID pandemic. Cases of COVID-19-associated hyperinflammation\/KD\/shock have been reported worldwide, many with KD or KD-like presentation and often requiring ICU admission. This syndrome was initially coined \u201cPaediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Temporally associated with COVID-19\u201d (PMIS-TS), by the Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health in the UK. Different names and case definitions have been issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the USA, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS). The name \u201cMIS-C\u201d is now used by the WHO and CDC, adding to the definitions debate and difficulty with direct comparisons between countries. Common elements to all definitions are prolonged fever, (multi)-organ dysfunction, and laboratory evidence of hyperinflammation. The CPS case definition casts a wider net and acknowledges the reality that serologic testing for SARS-CoV-2, a requirement in some definitions, is not readily available in Canada. Although many questions remain, we do know that hyperinflammation syndrome (KD\/MIS-C\/PIMS) is temporally associated with COVID-19, and that there is a wide spectrum of clinical disease ranging from: 1) Shock, cytokine storm syndrome and multiorgan involvement) to 2) KD and 3) Fever and hyperinflammation. We will review the spectrum of clinical presentation and investigative algorithm and management pathways proposed to help direct clinical care of children with suspected MIS-C\/KD.<\/p>\n
