This study reports a case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Although MIS-C is currently not widespread in Japan, it is important to consider this syndrome, particularly when the patient is younger than 21 years and presents with fever and shock symptoms associated with COVID-19. According to the latest statistics updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in early 2021, the total number of MIS-C patients is only 1659 and there have been no reports from Japan. Therefore, information to accurately diagnose MIS-C is needed. This study is the first case report of MIS-C in Japan, and it proposes information to identify this serious syndrome.
本研究报告了一例儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)。尽管MIS-C目前在日本并不普遍,但考虑到这种综合征很重要,特别是当患者年龄小于21岁且出现与COVID-19相关的发热和休克症状时。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心2021年初更新的最新统计数据,MIS-C患者总数仅为1659例,且尚无来自日本的报告。因此,需要准确诊断MIS-C的信息。本研究是日本首例MIS-C病例报告,并提出了识别这种严重综合征的信息。
