Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome Temporally Associated With SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS) and Serous Effusions in a Child With Severe Hypoalbuminemia: A Case Report

In April 2020, Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS‑CoV‑2 (PIMS-TS) was described for the first time in children. Since then, many countries have registered hundreds of cases with clinical similarities to Kawas...

description In April 2020, Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS‑CoV‑2 (PIMS-TS) was described for the first time in children. Since then, many countries have registered hundreds of cases with clinical similarities to Kawasaki disease. We report the case of a five-year-old boy diagnosed with PIMS-TS who presented myocarditis with serous effusions (pleurisy, ascites, pericarditis) due to severe hypoalbuminemia. This case sheds light on the importance of hypoalbuminemia in evaluating the severity of PIMS-TS and preventing its complications. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins and oral prednisone.
