SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in an immunocompromised child with leukemiaTo the Editor:associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is increasingly recognised in children with clinical presentations resembling disorders ranging from toxic shock syndrome to Kawasaki disease. MIS-C is diagnosed in immunocompetent children based on the clinical and laboratory profile of the patient with history or evidence of exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis of MIS-Cin cancer patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. We describe the first case of MIS-C in a child receiving significantly immunosuppressive chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
