Summary
For this patient’s doctors, this was the “ah-ha” moment.“Given the patient’s recent history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, fevers without localizing symptoms, oral mucosal changes, cervical lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis, and lower extremity changes, we suspected inflammatory post-COVID-19 syndrome,” wrote Kerkerian and Vaughan.The patient received treatment with aspirin and steroids. His doctors discharged him after 5 days with a repeat electrocardiogram showing normal.While multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is rare, it is common enough that pediatricians are on high alert for this condition in patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2.
