COVID-19, which started in China in December 2019 and affected the globe, is seen less frequently in children compared to adults and progresses with milder symptoms. However, some of the children who had COVID-19 infection in Europe in April 2020 were critically ill cases in need of intensive care with shock and multi-organ failure, while others had characteristics similar to Kawasaki Disease. Studies show that SARS-CoV-2 causes multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) in children. In this article, a case diagnosed with MIS-C in the early period is presented, which can be frequently confused with Kawasaki Disease and should be considered primarily in the differential diagnosis.

Keywords: Child, COVID-19, Multisystem inflammatory syndrome, MIS-C, SARS-CoV-2.
