Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Neonates following Maternal SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 Infection

Abstract: Children present with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), a post-infectious syndrome presenting a few weeks following an acute SARS CoV-2 infection. A few case reports of neonates presenting with a similar syndrome following maternal infection have been reported. This article summarizes the current literature and outlines the controversies surrounding the diagnosis and management of MIS-C in neonates (MIS-N).

“…Most infections in neonates and children arise from family clusters [ 60 ], linked to infected adult patients; they often exhibit only milder clinical signs [ 61 ]. Recently, a few case reports of neonates presenting with a multisystem inflammatory syndrome after maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection (MIS-N) were reported [ 62 ].…”

“…Recently, there have been reports of multisystem involvement following SARS-COV-2 infection in neonates; however, the extent of involvement, assessment, and their management has varied. Of note, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N) takes various forms with multiple cardiac presentations and complications, and the reported therapies include various immunological treatments [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. MIS-N is postulated to develop because of immune-mediated multisystem injury either due to the transplacental transfer of maternal SARS-Co2 antibodies or due to late response to antibodies mounted by the newborn to SARS-CoV-2 infection [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 ].…”
