20.500.12556/DiRROS-29899 Kawasaki-like illness following COVID-19 infection in a minor β-thalassemic girl Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS), also known as a Kawasaki-like illness, is a rare condition linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It presents with systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction, and it shares several clinical features with Kawasaki disease (KD). This case report describes an 8-year-old girl that developed symptoms suggestive of MIS or KD several weeks after a COVID-19 infection. She experienced a high fever lasting 4 days, followed by the appearance of itchy, erythematous patches on her legs, which later spread to her trunk and face. The inflammatory symptoms resolved spontaneously in less than 2 months without any lasting effects. multisystem inflammatory syndrome Kawasaki-like illness COVID-19 children β-thalassemia multisistemski vnetni sindrom Kawasakijeva bolezen otroci β-talasemija true false true Združenje dermatovenerologov Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Na spletni strani revije navedeno: Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica (ISSN 1318-4458) is an open access medical journal published quarterly by the Association of Slovenian Dermatovenerologists (https://acta-apa.mf.uni-lj.si/index.php); Authors publishing in our journal retain copyright of their work under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0).
