Insights
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MISC) presents diagnostic challenges post-COVID-19. This case highlights MISC's impact on liver function and other organs, underscoring the need for further research.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Infectious Diseases
- Hepatology
Background:
- Limited knowledge exists on the incidence and natural history of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MISC) following COVID-19.
- Data on long-term outcomes for MISC are scarce, posing diagnostic and management challenges.
Abstract:
Several new diagnostic and management challenges have evolved as a result of limited knowledge about the incidence of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MISC) and its natural history which is caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. There are no data on the long-term outcomes of the illness and MISC. A 12-year-old female child with no significant history was rushed to a emergency room with complaints of rashes all over her body for the past seven days, fever for the past five days, and altered sensorium for the last one day. The child tested negative for COVID-19 at first and then was found to be antibody positive for COVID-19. The child showed symptoms of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome, which involved the main alteration in liver functioning. This case is suggestive of how the COVID-19 virus causes alteration in liver functioning and its inflammation, including inflammation of other organs, which is called MISC.
