Most reports of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) have come from Europe and North America. The paucity of reports in Africa is in contrast with the demographics of the series in New York, Paris and UK with children of African ancestry accounting for over 40% of all cases of MIS-C. With the global trend of higher prevalence of MIS-C in children of African ancestry, enhanced surveillance and awareness for this syndrome in children with COVID-19 in Africa are therefore important. A case report of a 12-year-old Nigerian girl with MIS-C is presented in line with the WHO global surveillance especially in areas were MIS-C is considered a rarity. This case report stimulates a call for vigilance and expanded effort at surveillance to promote early recognition and diagnosis of MIS-C in Nigeria and Africa. The favourable outcome and experience from this case will create awareness, expand knowledge, and support clinicians in Nigeria and the African continent in their approach to other potential cases.
大多数关于儿童多系统炎症综合征（MIS-C）的报告来自欧洲和北美。非洲报告的缺乏与纽约、巴黎和英国系列报告的人口统计学形成鲜明对比，非洲血统的儿童占所有 MIS-C 病例的 40%以上。随着非洲裔儿童 MIS-C 患病率全球趋势升高，因此在非洲对 COVID-19 儿童加强对此综合征的监测和认识非常重要。根据世界卫生组织的全球监测，特别是在 MIS-C 被认为罕见的地区，本文报告了一例尼日利亚 12 岁女孩 MIS-C 的病例。该病例报告呼吁提高警惕，并加大监测力度，以促进在尼日利亚和非洲及早发现和诊断 MIS-C。该病例的良好结果和经验将提高认识，扩大知识，并为尼日利亚和非洲大陆的临床医生提供支持，帮助他们处理其他潜在病例。
