Description

Four weeks after a COVID exposure, children may not be completely in the clear. MIS-C is a post-infectious inflammatory state that affects pediatric patients and can lead to heart failure, acute abdomen, and a new Kawasaki-like syndrome in older ages. We discuss the emerging evidence with expert, Dr. Adriana Tremoulet ( UCSD), who sits on the American College of Rheumatology MIS-C and COVID-19 Related Hyperinflammation Task Force. She educates us on the presentation, diagnosis, and management MIS-C so when you see this condition, you’ll be ready!
