Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is thought to follow SARS-CoV-2 infection and presents with fever and multisystem dysfunction. We report three children with suspected MIS-C found to have retropharyngeal edema without evidence of a bacterial etiology. We raise the possibility that an association between MIS-C and retropharyngeal edema exists.
儿童多系统炎症综合征（MIS-C）被认为是继 SARS-CoV-2 感染之后发生的，表现为发热和多系统功能障碍。我们报告了三例疑似 MIS-C 的儿童，他们均存在咽后水肿，但无细菌病因的证据。我们提出了 MIS-C 与咽后水肿之间存在关联的可能性。
