Abstract :
Multiple inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a multisystem inflammatory disease following COVID-19 in children. This
disease occurs a few weeks after COVID-19. A child with this condition develops a cytokine release cascade that results in organ
damage. The involved organs include the heart, lungs, brain, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system. Fever is present in
all patients and Kawasaki-like symptoms are one of the common features in these children. In this article, we introduce a child with
MIS-C who has skin, gastrointestinal, neurological, and renal symptoms and has been hospitalized in the PICU.
