Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is defined as a clinically serious condition requiring hospitalization involving fever, multi-system organ dysfunction, and an increase in inflammatory biomarkers. The syndrome was originally described as a post-infectious complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which usually causes COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, not only did the virus undergo mutations but vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 were also developed. Both these conditions led to a decrease in the incidence of MIS-C. This narrative review summarizes the recent updates for MIS-C, particularly regarding the change in incidence, the link between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and MIS-C, and new updates of MIS-C treatments.
儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)被定义为一种需要住院治疗的临床严重病症,其症状包括发热、多系统器官功能障碍以及炎症生物标志物升高。该综合征最初被描述为严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染的一种感染后并发症,SARS-CoV-2通常会引发冠状病毒病(COVID-19)。在冠状病毒病大流行期间,不仅病毒发生了变异,针对SARS-CoV-2的疫苗也得以研发。这两种情况都导致了MIS-C发病率的下降。本叙述性综述总结了MIS-C的最新进展,特别是关于发病率的变化、SARS-CoV-2疫苗与MIS-C之间的联系以及MIS-C治疗的新进展。
