Popis: This case report describes a child with heart failure and incipient multiorgan failure following infection with SARS-CoV-2. This is not COVID-19, but a delayed immune response known as multiorgan inflammatory syndrome. We have treated a number of children with this condition, and similar cases have been reported internationally. Patients can quickly become seriously ill, with high fever, gastrointestinal symptoms and cardiogenic shock.
