Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the largest public health pandemics since the Spanish flu of1918. With a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, COVID-19 has caused major setbacks in healthcare worldwide and challenged the capabilities of some of the most accomplished health care systems in the world. Although up to 80% of patients are initially asymptomatic, a nonnegligible percentage eventually require hospitalization and intensive care admission (ICU)Johns Hopkins,2020.Currently, the worst complication of COVID-19 is vascular inflammation and degeneration, AbdelMassih AF, Kamel A et al. Most children with COVID-19 present with a range of signs and symptoms that are not severe or specific enough to prompt disease testing.3 Some children and adolescents show no symptoms at all,Han MS, Choi EH, et al .The challenge with unrecognized COVID-19 cases is that asymptomatic children might become silent carriers in the community, DeBiasi RL, Delaney M,et al.or be at risk of developing post-COVID-19 complications. post-acute COVID-19 includes patients with persistent or delayed symptoms that develop, or last, more than 3 weeks after symptom-onset. The 3-week period is in line with evidence that viable virus is rarely detected past 10 days in mild to moderate COVID-19, and rarely past 20 days in severe cases, DeBiasi RL, Delaney M, et al. Another term used to describe this condition is "long COVID". Butler M, Pollak TA, Baker HA,et al. Since MIS-C is not true sequelae, we will report on MIS-C separately from post-acute COVID-19. MIS-C is a newl recognized illness associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. McMurray et al. (2020) described MIS-C as a post-viral systemic inflammatory vasculopathy of children following SARS-CoV-2 infection, with similar clinical presentations to Kawasaki disease. Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion,2020. In April 2020, reports from the United Kingdom documented a clinical presentation in children identical to Kawasaki disease (KD) or toxic shock syndrome. Since then, there has been an increase in reported cases of similarly affected children in other parts of the wothe, Riphagen S, Gomez X, et al ,2020. The cases have been reported from Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe in the past 3 months, describing children with COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is likely to develop after the disease instead of developing during the acute phase of COVID-19 Jones VG, Mills M, et al, 2020.Thrombotic complications have alsobeen reported in children with COVID-19, Mitchell W, Davilla J, Whitworth H, Sartain SE,2020.
