Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) can be present in the form of multisystem inflammatory disease in children. . A 25-month-old boy presented with fever, malaise, diffuse maculopapular rashes, and mucosal involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was first diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). Further evaluation revealed lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and fibrinogen. This was followed by a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19. In addition to receiving initial care for SJS, he was treated for MIS-C, which led to his recovery after four days.
COVID-19 infection should be considered in children with fever and dermatological features during the pandemic because it may cause different features of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), suggestive of delayed hyperimmune response.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）在儿童中可能以多系统炎症性疾病的形式出现。在新冠疫情期间，一名25个月大的男孩出现发热、不适、弥漫性斑丘疹和黏膜受累症状。他最初被诊断为史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征（SJS）。进一步检查发现淋巴细胞减少、血小板减少，以及C反应蛋白（CRP）、铁蛋白和纤维蛋白原水平升高。随后新冠病毒聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测呈阳性。除了接受SJS的初始治疗外，他还接受了儿童多系统炎症综合征（MIS-C）的治疗，四天后康复。
在疫情期间，对于出现发热和皮肤病学特征的儿童应考虑新冠病毒感染，因为它可能导致儿童多系统炎症综合征（MIS-C）的不同特征，提示免疫反应延迟增强。
