Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), United States, 2023–2024
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is rare following SARS-CoV-2 infection, but sporadic cases continue to be reported. This analysis of cases from 2023-2024 shows little change in clinical presentation between years. Among vaccine age-eligible children, 99% of cases occurred in children who were not up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccination.
