The objective of this work is to know the Pediatric Multi-Systemic Inflammatory Syndrome associated to COVID-19 and to alert health professionals about the importance of early diagnosis and conducts. The COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that has rapidly become a global public health problem. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the elderly and people with comorbidities are part of the risk group. While children are usually asymptomatic and more concerned about being considered a reservoir of the virus, they can transmit it to other people. However, recently, infantile cases have been reported that have had an unfavorable evolution. Pediatric Multi-Systemic Inflammatory Syndrome associated with COVID-19 was first reported in Europe as a disease occurring weeks after the acute phase of SARS-COV-2 infection. The clinical manifestations and laboratory characteristics of this disease are similar to other inflammatory diseases present in pediatrics such as typical Kawasaki syndrome, incomplete Kawasaki, toxic shock syndrome, bacterial sepsis and macrophage activation syndrome. Differently from what is observed in other inflammatory diseases, the SIM-P affects preferentially children older than 5 years, afro-descendants, besides presenting a higher incidence of cardiac dysfunction. The treatment must involve multidisciplinary actions and be early in order to minimize the sequelae, especially cardiac and thus reduce mortality.
