简要总结
Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) is acomplication of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children, which occurs 3-4 weeks afterthe acute infection due to a cytokine storm. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG)and Steroids (Methyl prednisolone) are the main stay of treatment. However, we are yet to fully understand the immumopathologicalrole of these treatments in MIS-C. Most of the clinicians and institutionsaround the world use both IVIG and Steroids, but few use either one of them.Early reports and experience of paediatricians suggest that different regimenseem to work equally. However, there is no evidence in identifying the righttreatment pathway. Evidence is therefore, urgently needed to support treatmentdecisions for children with MIS-C. Through this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of different treatment regimen followed in variousPaediatric intensive care units across Chennai, India in the management ofMIS-C to reach a consensus.
Stored plasma samples from children aged 0 to ≤18 years, admitted to PICUs of various hospitals across Chennai, with MIS-Cwill be included in the study. We will be analysing the following on stored samples:
· IL-6,IFNγ, TNFα, IL-2, IL-10, MIP-1a, GM-CSF, MCP-1, MI-1a
· Neutrophilelastase, plasmin and alpha-1-antitrypsin
· ProBnPand Troponin
Analysis will be performed on the 3main groups formed based on the treatment received:
1)IVIG plus MPS; 2) IVIG alone; 3) MPS alone
