Abstract

Objective
Evaluation of clinical features and results in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Material and Method

Patients diagnosed with MIS-C between September 1, 2020 and February 25, 2021, followed at University of Health Sciences, Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Pediatrics were included. Their clinical findings and laboratory results were evaluated retrospectively.

Results

Average age of 16 patients diagnosed with MIS-C was found to be 6.5 years; of whom 62.5% were male and 37.5% were female. Our patients had no chronic disease. Fever (100%) and stomachache (81.25%) were the most common symptoms. All patients had high levels of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, d-dimer and pro-BNP at the time of diagnosis. Average ejection fraction was found as 63.1% in echocardiography. IV immunoglobulin, corticosteroids and acetylsalicylic acid was administered to all patients whereas enoxaparin and vasopressors were administered to 11 (68.75%) and 3 (18.5%) patients respectively. Left ventricular ejection fraction was found to be within the normal range at all patients at the time of discharge. Average in patient follow-up was found to be 10 days.

Conclusion

It is important to have a long-term follow-up of MIS-C patients, who show similar symptoms to Kawasaki disease yet have their own particular symptoms and cardiac involvement, in order not to miss the opportunity of early diagnosis as well as cardiac complications.


Amaç

Çalışmada kliniğimizde izlediğimiz çocuk hastalarda COVID-19 ile ilişkili multisistem inflamatuar sendromunun (MIS-C) klinik özellikleri ve sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Materyal ve metod

Çalışmaya 01/09/2020-25/02/2021 tarihleri arasında Bağcılar Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, pediatri kliniğinde takip edilen MIS-C'li çocuklar dahil edildi. Hastaların klinik özellikleri ve laboratuvar bulguları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.

Bulgular

MIS-C'li 16 çocuğun ortalama yaşı 6,5 yaş olup; %62,5 erkek, %37,5 kızdı; hastalarımızın kronik hastalıkları yoktu. Ateş (%100) ve karın ağrısı (%81,25) en sık görülen semptomlardı. Tüm hastalarda C-reaktif protein, prokalsitonin, d-dimer ve pro-B-tipi natriüretik peptid seviyeleri tanı anında yüksekti. Ekokardiyografide ortalama ejeksiyon fraksiyonun %63,1 olduğu görüldü. Tedavi için intravenöz immünoglobulin, kortikosteroid, aspirin tüm hastalara verilirken, enoksaparin 11 (%68,75), vazopressörler 3 (%18,5) hastaya verildi. Hastalarımızın taburculuk öncesi yapılan kontrol ekokardiyografilerinde sol ventrikül ejeksiyon fraksiyonunun normal olduğu görüldü. Hastalarımız ortalama 10 gün yatırılarak izlendi.

Sonuçlar

Kawasaki hastalığı ile benzerlikler gösteren ancak kendine özgü özellikleri olan ve kardiyak tutulumla seyreden MIS-C’nin, klinik bulgularının atlanmaması, erken tanı konulup tedavi edilmesi önemlidir.

Key words: COVID-19, MIS-C, Pediatrics COVID-19, MIS-C, Pediatri
