Abstrakt:	According to the 2020 CDC criteria, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) due to Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is diagnosed when all of the following criteria are met: fever for+≥+24 hours, laboratory evidence of inflammation, multisystem (+≥+2) organ involvement, evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection or exposure, and no alternative plausible diagnoses (CDC, 2020). Alternative diagnosis need to be excluded before coming upon an MIS-C diagnosis since there are plenty of infectious diseases that may mimic MIS-C (Dworsky et al., Pediatr Infect Dis J 2021; 40; e159-e161; Yalçinkaya et al., Pediatr Infect Dis J 2021; 40; e524-e525; Kaneta et al., Pediatr Infect Dis J 2023; 42; 590-593; Stanzelova et al., Pediatr Infect Dis J 2023; 42; e201-e203; Kolsi et al., Arch Pediatr 2023; 30; 521-523). Herein, we present a 6-year-old girl who was preliminarily diagnosed with MIS-C and received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment before referral to our center. She was diagnosed with acute pneumococcal meningitis due to serotype 19 F and ultimately suffered from sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) as a sequela. We present this case to remind physicians that MIS-C should not be diagnosed unless other infectious causes are excluded.
