description We report three cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during July 2020 from a tertiary care hospital with different clinical presentations and course of management. This will guide in better management of children with MIS-C. All three patients, aged 1 to 12 years old, were critically ill. They presented with common features of MIS-C, such as fever, conjunctival congestion, gastrointestinal involvement, and skin manifestations. Clinical features were suggestive of shock, coagulopathy, and multiorgan involvement. Laboratory findings revealed raised inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and D-dimers (DD). All patients required intensive care with oxygen therapy, fluid resuscitation, inotropic agents, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. All patients received steroids, and two patients were given intravenous immunoglobulin. One patient died, and the remaining two patients were discharged. Our findings confirmed that COVID-19 may cause severe disease in children, and the presentation may vary, requiring early recognition and timely management.
