Abstract mean of 128(18), hypotension with mean of 80(5.7) for systolic blood pressure & mean of 42(6) for diastolic blood pressure, spo2 mean 94.5(2), high grade fever of mean 39(0.6) and SOFA score mean of 9(2). KD-like features were seen in many patients (skin rash in 55.6%, conjunctivitis in 46.7% and Cardiovascular abnormalities were seen in 100% e.g. (myocardial dysfunction, valvular regurgitation, coronary dilatation, pericardial effusion and shock). In our patients, 13 patients (28.9%) had significantly severe comorbid conditions, like (hematologic e.g. ALL, Cardiac e.g. ASD&VSD, Endocrinologic e.g. Diabetes mellitus). Our MIS-C patients had signs and symptoms of an inflammatory state and we believe that steroids played an essential role for those who recovered. Conclusion: MIS-C is a hyper-infammatory syndrome affecting multiple organs and is triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is usually seen 2–4 weeks following infection. Adaptive immune mechanisms have a major role to play in pathogenesis of this condition. |
