Children’s Hospital Has First Cases of Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome

Children’s Hospital is identifying the first suspected cases of Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children in Wisconsin.  MIS-C is a new and rare inflammatory response that causes swelling in different organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs.  MIS-C has been seen in some kids who have been infected by or exposed to COVID-19.  Children’s Hospital says it has a team dedicated to identifying and treating children with MIS-C.  The C-D-C says the best way to prevent MIS-C is protecting children from the spread of coronavirus.
