Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which was first documented in the United Kingdom and later recognized in other countries, is a postinfectious immune response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Its clinical manifestation resembles that of other inflammatory processes. Differentiation can be accomplished through epidemiology, a positive temporal relationship to COVID-19, and multiorgan involvement. Health care providers should maintain a high level of suspicion for MIS-C during the COVID-19 pandemic. A consistent picture of this immune response is emerging and diagnostic and treatment approaches are evolving. Advances continue to be made in the knowledge attainment regarding MIS-C clinical presentation and management.
