Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Clinical course was as follows: headache and myalgia developed in a healthy 14-year-old boy (day 1 of illness); by day 7, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, emesis, bloodshot eyes, red cracked lips, and rash had also developed. On day 10, he was brought for treatment to the emergency department and admitted to a quaternary-care pediatric hospital. Three months earlier, he completed the Pfizer-BioNTech 2-dose COVID-19 vaccine series. One month later, he experienced 3 days of coughing and congestion and tested positive by PCR for SARS-CoV-2 infection, from which he recovered. At hospital admission, examination noted sickly appearance, fever (39.1°C), tachycardia, rash, conjunctivitis, cracked lips, and abdominal tenderness. Laboratory testing revealed hyponatremia; thrombocytopenia; lymphopenia; and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and liver function test levels. Echocardiogram revealed trivial pericardial effusion. Abdominal ultrasound and chest radiograph results were unremarkable. SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid IgG results were positive. Other infectious condition test results were negative. On the patient first day of hospitalization, the infectious diseases section was consulted, and the Authors determined that the patient illness met Centers for Disease Control and Prevention MIS-C criteria. The next day, he received infliximab (10 mg/kg), followed by intravenous immunoglobulin. Rash, headache, conjunctivitis, and CRP improved; however, fever, malaise, and nausea persisted, and cardiac markers rose, prompting a second infliximab dose on hospitalization day 3. His fever subsided, and signs, symptoms, and laboratory results improved. On hospitalization day 5, echocardiogram showed no effusion; he was discharged the next day. Infectious diseases follow-up 3 weeks after hospital discharge revealed fatigue and occasional mild abdominal pain but normalized laboratory results. Cardiology follow-up 6 weeks after hospital discharge revealed ongoing fatigue. An echocardiogram showed new mild left main coronary artery enlargement (Z-score +2.7). They planned no interventions beyond interval outpatient monitoring. Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the reported events and the suspect drug cannot be excluded. The case will be reassessed once new information is available.
