MIS-C stands for multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children. It continues to be rare and is mostly seen in unvaccinated children now.
The condition is called multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, and it is serious but rare. Early in the pandemic, kids began showing up in emergency departments with symptoms including persistent high fevers, vomiting, fatigue and heart inflammation. Some needed intensive care and ventilators.
At the height of the pandemic, only a small subset of children – about 1 out of every 2,000 – who got infected with COVID went on to develop MIS-C. Most recovered fully.These days, the condition is even rarer. DeRisi says it now mostly occurs only in unvaccinated children.
