Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) was first recognized as a novel
illness in 2020 with manifestations similar to other hyperinflammatory syndromes, such as
Kawasaki disease or macrophage activation syndrome. Severity varies from a self-limited
febrile illness to shock requiring inotropes and mechanical ventilation. Gastrointestinal

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) was first recognized as a novel illness in 2020 with manifestations similar to other hyperinflammatory syndromes, such as Kawasaki disease or macrophage activation syndrome. Severity varies from a self-limited febrile illness to shock requiring inotropes and mechanical ventilation. Gastrointestinal symptoms and persistent fevers are the most common clinical symptoms, with the addition of cardiac manifestations inclusive of ventricular dysfunction and coronary artery aneurysms. With no controlled trials or comparative effectiveness studies evaluating treatment of MIS-C to date, current treatment with immunomodulatory agents has mainly been derived from previous experience treating Kawasaki disease. This article provides a comprehensive review summarizing published data for the evaluation and management of MIS-C, with a focus on pharmacotherapy treatment considerations.
