Lower Risk of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children With the Delta and Omicron Variants of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Jonathan M. Cohen et al.

Summary: Little is known about the risk of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. In southeast England, MIS-C rates per confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in children aged 0-16 years were 56% lower during prevaccine Delta, 66% lower during postvaccine Delta, and 95% lower during the Omicron period.

Duration of viable virus shedding and polymerase chain reaction positivity of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in the upper respiratory tract: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Yu Wu et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis included 29 studies and 230,227 patients to assess the duration of viable virus shedding and PCR positivity of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in the upper respiratory tract. The pooled duration of viable virus shedding was found to be 5.16 days, and the average duration of PCR positivity was 10.82 days. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference in the duration of viable virus shedding and PCR positivity between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. These findings have important implications for pandemic control strategies and infection control measures.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and SARS-CoV-2 variants: a two-year ambispective multicentric cohort study in Catalonia, Spain

Rosa Pino et al.

Summary: This is a study on the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of MIS-C cases in children in Catalonia, Spain. The incidence rate of MIS-C was 4.1 per million people and 273 per million SARS-CoV-2 infections. The incidence of MIS-C decreased significantly during the Omicron variant period. The clinical manifestations and severity of MIS-C were similar across different variants.

Comparison of the course of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children during different pandemic waves

Katarzyna Ptak et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate, clinical manifestations, and management of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during different periods of COVID-19 variant dominance. There were no significant differences in the incidence, symptoms, or treatment between the two groups. In conclusion, the clinical course of MIS-C remains similar in subsequent waves of the pandemic, but the incidence of MIS-C appears to be decreasing.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children During Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta and Omicron Variant Circulation-United States, July 2021-January 2022

Allison D. Miller et al.

Summary: This study describes 2116 cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from July 2021 to January 2022 during the Delta and Omicron circulation. The findings show that half of the MIS-C patients were aged 5-11 years, 52% received intensive care unit-level care, and 1.1% died. Only 3.0% of eligible patients were fully vaccinated prior to MIS-C onset.

Summary: This is the first international study to describe a global reduction in the trend of MIS-C incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 vaccination and other factors possibly linked to the virus itself and/or community transmission may have played a role in preventing new cases of MIS-C.

Cardiac manifestations in SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: a comprehensive review and proposed clinical approach

Francesca Sperotto et al.

Summary: Initial reports indicated that children were less affected by severe COVID-19 symptoms, but clusters of pediatric cases with severe systemic hyperinflammation and shock linked to COVID-19 have emerged since mid-April 2020. This condition, defined as SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, shares similarities with Kawasaki disease. Patients often present with persistent fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, rash, conjunctivitis, and mucosal changes, along with elevated inflammatory markers and cytokine storm. Management involves cardiac support, immunomodulation, and anticoagulation during the acute phase, with long-term follow-up crucial due to uncertain prognosis and potential cardiac complications.
