Recognizing and understanding this syndrome has never been more important, as Covid-19 cases are rising in the U.S.

, a potentially deadly condition caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventionthat “Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. We do not yet know what causes MIS-C. However, we know that many children with MIS-C had the virus that causes COVID-19, or had been around someone with COVID-19.
Recognizing and understanding this syndrome has never been more important, as Covid-19 cases are skyrocketing in the U.S., due in large part to the extremely virulent Omicron variant., nearly 6,400 children have been diagnosed with MIS-C, with nearly 55 fatalities. The CDC data graph also indicates that surges in MIS-C cases lag right behind Covid-19 cases; that is, if there’s a Covid-19 case surge, then a corresponding MIS-C case surge should be expected in the following weeks.
Many hospitals around the country are now facing a desperate situation, juggling with shortages of supplies, resources, healthcare professionals, and beds for sick patients. Pediatric hospitalizations are also on the rise, alarming experts that another surge of MIS-C is soon to come.
