Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has been observed in temporal association with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), typically within 2 to 6 weeks of illness or exposure. We present a case of MIS-C occurring 16 weeks after initial COVID-19 illness to highlight the prolonged period of risk for developing MIS-C.
We describe the presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of an adolescent presenting with a multisystem inflammatory process sixteen weeks following COVID-19. We highlight an expanded risk period, longer then commonly reported, for MIS-C to bring heightened awareness to its possibility. |
