We aimed to reveal the skin, mucous membrane, hair and nail findings of children who meet the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) criteria.Method:
A prospective case series consisting of 43 children who applied to Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine Farabi Hospital between January 2020 and January 2022 and met the criteria for MIS-C according to the diagnostic criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was conducted.Results:
Of 43 patients diagnosed with MIS-C, 18 (%41,9) were female and 25 (%58,1) were male. The mean age of the patients is 7.63, the age range is between 7 months and 15 years. The results of polymerase chain reaction tests for SARS-CoV-2 were positive for 4 (%9,3) patients, and the results of SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G tests were positive for 39 (%90,7) patients. No mucocutaneous involvement was observed in 3 (%6,9) of the patients. Nonpurulent conjunctivitis was observed in 25 (%58,1) patients, and periorbital edema was observed in 4 (%9,3) patients. 4 (%9,3) patients had symmetrical edema of the hands and feet, and 2 (%4,6) patients had periungual desquamation. While no oral mucosal findings were observed in 15 (%34,9) patients;12 (%27,9) patients had fissured lips, 10 (% 23,3) had cheilitis, 8 (%18,6) had diffuse hyperemia of the oral mucosa, 6 (%13,9) had strawberry tongue, and 3 (%6,9) had herpes labialis. 21 (%48,8) of the patients had urticarial, 12 (%27,9) of them maculopapular, 5 (%11,6) patients livedoid and 1 (%2,3) patient had a skin rash compatible with pseudopernio.
