Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) is a rare but severe condition that shares symptoms with toxic shock and Kawasaki disease, including fever, rashes, swollen glands and, in severe cases, heart inflammation.

In May, the CDC published a health advisory with details of how MIS-C manifests in patients, and asked clinicians to report suspected U.S.

Among the MIS-C cases, all patients tested positive for COVID-19 and 10 died, the CDC said in the report.

The report, the CDC said, highlights the need for greater awareness among healthcare providers, as distinguishing patients with MIS-C from those with acute COVID-19 and other hyperinflammatory conditions is critical for early recognition, early diagnosis, and prompt treatment.
