Children with MIS-C are very ill and have a fever and inflammation in their body that gets confirmed from lab tests. While different, MIS-C has some of the same symptoms as other rare childhood conditions such as Kawasaki Disease and toxic shock syndrome. Children with MIS-C may also have thrombosis (blood clots), poor heart function and problems with many organs, such as the intestines, heart, brain, lungs, skin, and kidneys.
