Abstract

Multi Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) associated with Corona Virus Disease (COVID) in children and young adults presents with a varied clinical spectrum; from that mimicking Kawasaki disease (KD), Incomplete Kawasaki disease to even Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. A 14-year-old girl, presented to us, with headache, fever, bilateral uveitis, unilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, oral mucosal changes and abdominal pain. A disproportionate increase in inflammatory markers and Interleukin - 6, in the setting of a negative COVID real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) and significantly elevated COVID antibody titre confirmed our diagnosis. She was treated with intravenous Immunoglobulin and oral steroids with which she recovered. We want to highlight considering the possibility of MIS-C in children presenting with uveitis at a time when COVID-19 has been conquering the world with community spread.
