Abstract :
Since the emergence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19), critically ill childrenwithCOVID-19 made up a small proportion of the patients. Still, recent records of coronavirus infection in children and adolescents have been accompanied by multisystem inflammatory syndrome and Kawasaki-like symptoms (1-3). This new phenomenon, called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C), seems to be a kind of post-viral inflammatory disease rather than a remitting infection.
