dc.description.abstractBackground: The effectiveness of using only glucocorticoids (GCs) in mild multisystem in flammatory syndrome (MIS-C) cases was compared with combined treatment [GCs + Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG)]. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted between June 1, 2020, and June 1, 2022, in a tertiary care center in Istanbul, Turkey. Clinical and investigational data of the MIS-C patients were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: those who received only GCs and those who received the GCs + IVIG combination. The primary outcome focused on assessing the deterioration of the patient's clinical condition, the occurrence of shock, admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and the need for additional immunosuppressive medication. Secondary outcomes included evaluating the course of cardiovascular and infection-related complications observed at the one-year follow-up. Results: Ninety-seven MIS-C patients with a median age of 41 (3 - 214) months were enrolled. Fifty-six (57.7%) patients were male. All the patients had fever at admission with a temperature of 39 degrees C (37.5 degrees C -40.1 degrees C). Thirty-two patients (33%) had cardiac findings on echocardiography [left ventricular dysfunction ( n = 13, 13.5%), coronary artery involvement ( n = 11, 11.3%), and dilation of cardiac cavities and/or increased cardiac muscle thickness ( n = 8, 8.2%)]. Thirteen patients (13.5%) required intensive care. All patients received GCs [only GCs (group I; n = 65, 67%)], and 32 patients (33%) with severe manifestations and/or cardiac involvement received GCs + IVIG (group II). No mortality was observed. None of the patients had any complaints at the oneyear follow-up, and all echocardiography findings were normal. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence that GC monotherapy is a safe treatment alternative for mild MIS-C cases without cardiac involvement. (c) 2024 Elsevier Inc.
