Docs, do any of you know much about or have any experience with MIS-C in children after having CV-19?

Interested in this too, friend of a friend up here in MN is a cardiologist and says they are starting to see kids that had it four weeks later are showing up to the hospital with this.

Seems an awful lot like Kawasaki syndrome. I've given a few lectures on it but Aggieland cannot see this patients due to no PICU so I have no personal experience with it.

No PICU here in small town nowhere, so no MIS-C experience either. I follow the AAP guidance for MIS-C and would transfer to the nearest PICU. Seems an awful lot like Kawasakis even in treatment (although the list of diagnostic labs are more involved than with Kawasakis) and I would suspect the similar relatively rare rates of MIS-C.

I've probably seen 100ish total kids with + Corona thus far myself, all in my outpatient clinic. Only one ended up inpatient thus far (fever and 48 hour rule out due to young age and not MIS-C). I've taken 50% of the call for our hospital since February (covers the entire area of 70,000 population) and haven't recieved a call from the ER for consult or admission other than the one above case. Ill continue to look for MIS-C and warn people to return with symptoms, but will be surprised if we end up with more than 1 (if even 1 presents). Just need more data for prevalence.
