Abstract

The contagious condition known as coronavirus illness is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19). Most COVID-19 patients will only experience mild to moderate effects, and most will heal on their own. But, some individuals will develop severe ailments and require medical attention. The virus can spread from a person's mouth or nose in tiny liquid particles when they speak, sing, sneeze, or cough. These particles range in size from larger respiratory droplets to microscopic aerosols. If you are close to someone who has COVID-19, you can catch it by breathing it in or by touching your eyes, nose, or mouth after coming into contact with a contaminated surface. The virus spreads more quickly in cramped and busy areas. Children seem too often experience a milder illness from the corona virus (COVID-19) than do adults and elderly individuals. However, other kids have experienced more severe symptoms, sometimes weeks after contracting the virus. Children with this condition are said to have inflammatory multisystemic syndrome (MIS-C). Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) experience signs of inflammation (pain, swelling, and irritability) all over their bodies. Notable inflammatory diseases including toxic shock syndrome and Kawasaki disease share characteristics with MIS-C. Most often affecting children, Kawasaki illness is an inflammatory sickness with no known aetiology. Vasculitis, or blood vessel inflammation, is what makes it distinctive. It will lead to result in a high temperature, swelling in the legs and fingers, neck swollen node, rash, and red eyes, swelling, and dry, irritated lips and tongue. Similar to MIS-C, toxic shock syndrome is an inflammatory illness brought on by infectious disease, which may result in rash, fever, and low blood pressure. Doctors are investigating the connection between these symptoms and corona virus exposure. MIS-C can lead to a variety of issues in children. The inflammation can have an impact on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, digestive system, brain, and eyes. This can occasionally cause injury to the organs, notably the heart and lead to excessive blood vessel clotting.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) experience signs of inflammation (pain, swelling, and irritability) all over their bodies. Doctors are investigating the connection between these symptoms and corona virus exposure. MIS-C can lead to a variety of issues in children. The inflammation can have an impact on the cardiovascular, capillaries, renal, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, and eyes. Steroids and some biologic medications that are normally prescribed to patients with autoimmune diseases and rheumatoid arthritis are two medications that are frequently is employed to lower immunological response in kids with MIS-C. Additionally, patients may be given intravenous immunoglobulin, an antibody-containing medicine. Children may occasionally require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy or mechanical ventilation to maintain their breathing or hearts. Inotropes, a kind of drug that modifies the force of cardiac contractions, may be administered to patients whose hearts are impacted by MIS-C. This can occasionally cause injury to the organs, particularly the heart, or
