description Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has become a serious disease entity following the high prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection with the involvement of gastrointestinal organs, kidneys, heart, and lungs. When the patient presents with mucocutaneous findings such as conjunctival injection, red lips, neurocognitive symptoms, swollen hands and lymphadenopathy, it is always highly recommended to exclude multisystem inflammatory syndrome.  As it affects multiple organs, it can result in more serious consequences. The manifestations depend largely on the organ involved. Therefore, successful management partly depends on the early diagnosis. Many treatment strategies have been put forth to tackle the disorder so far.
