ABSTRACT
A temporary association between SARS-CoV-2 and late inflammatory systemic manifestations in previously healthy
pediatric patients has recently been found that could be due to post-viral immunological reactions called Multisystem
inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Descriptive, observational, transversal study it was carried out from May
29 to July 12, 2020 in a second level Hospital in the city of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. We included all children
and adolescents (aged ≤18 years) who met the criteria for MIS-C according to the CDC. 6 patients were studied, in 5
(83%) reported exposure to COVID-19 within 4 weeks prior to the onset of symptoms, the median age was 5.3 years,
male predominance of 5: 1, all of Hispanic ethnicity, without predominance of the purse group, with an average of 2.8
days of symptoms prior to admission. 100% had a fever of more than 24 hours of evolution, gastrointestinal symptoms 4
(66.6%), abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea, neurological symptoms in 33%, (irritability, seizures and headache).
Upon admission, 2 patients presented manifestations similar to Kawasaki, both under 5 years of age. An alteration
in the leukocyte count was observed in 100%, lymphopenia in 5 (83%), thrombocytopenia in 3 (50%). 66% required management
of intensive pediatric therapy, no patient with respiratory symptoms upon admission but with abnormalities in
CT of thorax in 33% (2) of consolidation type during its evolution. RT-PCR was performed in 100%, reported as positive
in 5 (83.4%), the determination of IgG and IgM antibodies in 2 patients was positive. Intravenous immunoglobulin and
steroid was administered at 6 (100%), 2 (33%) received tocilizumab. Average hospital stay was 6 days, mortality of 50%
was observed in the first 24 hours of admission. MIS-C is a new entity related to SARS-CoV-2. That affects previously
healthy children, this should be suspected in a feverish child associated with gastrointestinal manifestations, this for early
management, especially of multisystemic failure secondary to the large inflammatory process.
