Background: Post-COVID-19 cases are being reported with features of hyperinflammatory state causing multiple system dysfunctions in previously healthy children. Objectives: To describe clinical characteristics, laboratory, and radiological profile of children affected with COVID-19-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome postsecond wave in India and compare them with respect to adverse outcome.

Children who survived the clinical course were compared with those died during hospital stay.
