Cuerpo Med. HNAAA [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.2, pp.192-197. Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2225-5109. http://dx.doi.org/10.35434/rcmhnaaa.2020.132.673.
Introduction: The Inflammatory Multisystemic Syndrome arises as a manifestation of COVID-19 in the pediatric age, with diverse phenotypes within which a Kawasaki-like Syndrome is found, which responds to the usual therapy for classic disease. Case report: Two cases from Chiclayo city, 7 and 9 years old, female sex, history of probable and confirmed contacts for COVID-19, and one of the patients with positive IgG serology and compatible tomographic images with COVID-19 in resolution. Both met criteria for Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystemic Syndrome and classic Kawasaki Disease, in addition with a favorable response to usual therapy, without complications and in current follow-up. Conclusions: the reported cases respond to usual therapy and the presentation characteristics will contribute to the documentation of this emerging pathology in the scientific community.
