[Illustrated case study of a patient with pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome]

Abstract

Between November 2020 and June 2021, twelve children were treated at a university hospital in western France for pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS). While the clinical presentation may have been reminiscent of Kawasaki disease, PIMS, a new nosological entity, was mentioned in the media in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2023, research into this syndrome will continue in France and Europe.
