Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children associated with covid - 19. A case Report

Abstract

Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) associated with asymptomatic COVID-19 has been reported in children of various ages from infancy onwards. The dominant symptoms of PIMS are fever above 38.5 C lasting more than three days, elevated inflammatory markers, and the occurrence of symptoms from at least two systems; the digestive system and the cardiovascular system. Early diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis and may reduce life-threatening complications. We present a case of a 7-month-old infant hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Child Neurology in Poznan.
