ABSTRACT
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a novel entity first described in April 2020. It is a complication of COVID-19 that appears with a latency of 2-6 weeks and is characterized by fever, multiorgan involvement, and elevated inflammatory markers. Diagnosis is based on certain diagnostic criteria, and in these recommendations we chose the World Health Organization case definition. Patients should be treated with intravenous immuno-globulin and glucocorticoids together with other symptomatic and supportive measures. Follow-up should be at least a year-long, and even longer in case of cardiac complications. The aim of these recommendations is to help clinicians in diagnosing and treating this disease.Copyright © 2022, University Hospital of Infectious Diseases. All rights reserved.
