What are the current treatments for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)?
While treatment for children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome depends on the organs that are affected and the severity of the symptoms, children with this syndrome will usually need to be treated in the hospital by a multidisciplinary team with both supportive care (blood pressure medications, fluids, and oxygen to alleviate symptoms) and drugs to treat inflammation, such as antibiotics, steroid therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and cytokine targeted therapies. Some children with this syndrome may need to be treated in the pediatric intensive care unit with ventilators, anticoagulants, and, in rare cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
