Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), also known as COVID-19, has rapidly spread resulting in a worldwide pandemic. Although COVID-19 infections in children are generally mild and nonfatal, there is increasing recognition of its association with the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), leading to serious illness and possible long-term complications. This report describes a 6-month-old Indian infant who presented with a 4-day history of fever with nonspecific signs of viral illness and erythematous rash. Although the initial echocardiogram was normal, subsequent scans showed progressive dilatation of bilateral coronary arteries. Despite the timely intervention, he developed left coronary artery thrombosis, leading to myocardial infarction. His SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers were strongly positive. Through this case, we discuss the management of MIS-C with coronary artery involvement. The long-term outcome of coronary artery aneurysm due to MIS-C remains unknown and close follow-up is important. Further research is pivotal for a better understanding of MIS-C.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2),也称为新冠病毒病(COVID-19),已迅速传播,导致全球大流行。尽管儿童感染COVID-19通常症状较轻且不致命,但人们越来越认识到它与儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)有关,可导致严重疾病和可能的长期并发症。本报告描述了一名6个月大的印度婴儿,他有4天发热病史,伴有病毒感染的非特异性症状和红斑皮疹。尽管最初的超声心动图正常,但随后的扫描显示双侧冠状动脉逐渐扩张。尽管进行了及时干预,他仍发生了左冠状动脉血栓形成,导致心肌梗死。他的SARS-CoV-2抗体滴度呈强阳性。通过这个病例,我们讨论了伴有冠状动脉受累的MIS-C的治疗。MIS-C所致冠状动脉瘤的长期预后尚不清楚,密切随访很重要。进一步的研究对于更好地理解MIS-C至关重要。
