In late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in China and spread worldwide. In rare cases, children who were infected with COVID-19 may develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), which could have higher mortality than COVID-19 itself. Therefore, diagnosis and management are critical for treatment. Specifically, most of the initial treatment options of MIS-C choose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and steroids as the first-line treatment for patients. Moreover, antagonists of some cytokines are used as potential future therapeutics. Of note, therapeutic plasmapheresis can be used as a treatment for refractory severe MIS-C. We believe that each patient, especially those with comorbid conditions, should have individualized treatment based on both multidisciplinary consensus approach and expert opinion.
2019年末,在中国检测到严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)并在全球传播。在罕见情况下,感染新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的儿童可能会发展为多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C),其死亡率可能高于COVID-19本身。因此,诊断和管理对治疗至关重要。具体而言,MIS-C的大多数初始治疗方案选择静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)和类固醇作为患者的一线治疗。此外,一些细胞因子拮抗剂被用作未来潜在的治疗方法。值得注意的是,治疗性血浆置换可用于治疗难治性重症MIS-C。我们认为,每位患者,尤其是患有合并症的患者,都应基于多学科共识方法和专家意见进行个体化治疗。
