MIS-C Linked to Rare, Immune-Related Variants

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a critical and potentially life-threatening complication of COVID-19 in pediatric settings. Children who were diagnosed with MIS-C tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or antibody testing and had fever for more than four days. More...
