Since mid-May 2020, the CDC has been tracking case reports of multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a rare but serious condition associated with COVID-19. CDC is working to learn more about why some children and teens develop MIS-C after having COVID-19 or coming into contact with someone with COVID-19, while others do not. As of October 1, 2020, the number of patients meeting the MIS-C case definition in the United States exceeded 1,000. In 2021, this number surpassed 2,000 on February 1 and 3,000 on April 1. Last update with cases reported to CDC on or before May 3, 2021 *: Additional patients are being investigated. After review of additional clinical data, patients may be excluded if there are alternative diagnoses that explain their disease.

After review of additional clinical data, patients may be excluded if there are alternative diagnoses that explain their disease. Characteristics of MIS-C patients being closely monitored by CDC by race and ethnicity, sex, and age. To date, the majority of MIS-C patients have been of Hispanic / Latino race / ethnicity or non-Hispanic black. Hispanic / Latino and non-Hispanic black populations have also been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 in general. Further studies of MIS-C are needed to learn why certain racial or ethnic groups may be disproportionately affected and to understand the risk factors for this disease. Next steps
MIS-C can occur weeks after COVID-19 and even if the child or family did not know the child had COVID-19. CDC and state authorities will be monitoring additional cases and will adapt the MIS-C recommendations as necessary. Researchers are evaluating reported cases of MIS-C and associated health outcomes to try to learn more about specific risk factors for MIS-C, disease progression in children and adolescents, and how to better identify MIS-C. and distinguish it from other similar ones. diseases. Additional comments Some patients may meet partial or full criteria for Kawasaki disease, but must be reported if they meet the MIS-C case definition Consider MIS-C in any pediatric death with evidence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Timing of reporting Case reporting may be delayed due to limited capacity in state / local health departments and as the CDC evaluates the data to ensure that cases meet the MIS-C case definition.
