Advances in Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C)

Dear Colleagues,

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a newly identified clinical entity that has been linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children, adolescents and young adults.

MIS-C represents a “hot topic” at present, given the direct correlation with SARS-CoV-2 infection and the high percentage of patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission and aggressive therapy. Indeed, data regarding disease epidemiology and pathogenesis, but also the best treatment strategy and outcome, are very heterogeneous. Recently, a more aggressive therapeutic approach in the early phases of the disease showed greater efficacy in terms of reducing ICU access and allowing better long-term outcomes.

The purpose of this Special issue is to provide cutting-edge data on MIS-C, for a better understanding of all aspects of the disease. Original data from observational and registry studies will be kept in the utmost consideration, but we will also consider reviews and case reports if they present advances in our understanding of the disease.
