dc.description.abstract | Until recently, the clinical course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in
children has been reported to be largely mild.1,2 Recently, it has become evident that a subset of
children exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can
become critically ill with a condition now referred to as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in
children (MIS-C), characterized by systemic hyperinflammation with fever and multi-system
organ dysfunction.3
Gastrointestinal symptoms are increasingly recognized to be associated
with the presentation of MIS-C, potentially confusing the diagnosis of MIS-C with other common,
less toxic gastrointestinal infections and even inflammatory bowel disease. In the first published
correspondence describing MIS-C in eight patients from the United Kingdom, 100% presented
with GI symptoms.4
Similarly 6 of 10 patients from an Italian cohort had GI issues.5
This is In
contrast to adults, who most commonly present with respiratory symptoms, and report GI
symptoms in <10-15% of cases.6,7 We examined whether similar presentations and prevalence
extended to our comparatively larger U.S. cohort of 44 patients (<21 years old) with MIS-C. | |
