Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a newly defined hyperinflammatory disease linked to antecedent coronavirus disease 2019. Patients with MIS-C present with various symptoms, and ocular findings such as mild bilateral conjunctivitis are relatively common. However, detailed descriptions of severe ocular reports associated with MIS-C are scarce in the current literature. Here we report a case of MIS-C in a Japanese boy, with severe eye manifestations in the form of anterior scleritis as the primary MIS-C symptom. Detailed ocular examinations by ophthalmologists may be key for clarifying the pathophysiology of MIS-C.
儿童多系统炎症综合征（MIS-C）是一种新定义的与先前的2019冠状病毒病相关的过度炎症性疾病。MIS-C患者会出现各种症状，眼部表现如轻度双侧结膜炎相对常见。然而，目前文献中关于与MIS-C相关的严重眼部报告的详细描述很少。在此，我们报告一例日本男孩的MIS-C病例，其主要的MIS-C症状为前巩膜炎形式的严重眼部表现。眼科医生进行详细的眼部检查可能是阐明MIS-C病理生理学的关键。
