ABSTRACT
Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented a huge challenge to the health care system in terms of magnitude of cases and to pediatric oncology units with varied clinical presentations. Acute myeloid leukemia(AML) is a rare heterogenous cancer of childhood with an induction mortality around 15% in our country due to neutropenic sepsis. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children(MIS-C) is an hyperinflammatory syndrome seen 4–6 weeks after COVID-19 infection. COVID infection in some of these children would have gone unnoticed. Here we report a two year eight months old boy diagnosed with AML on induction chemotherapy developed post COVID MIS-C. © 2022
