Abstract: Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) is a severe postinfectious condition. This study aims to detail long-term follow-up. Forty-five patients were followed up for 24 months, inflammatory markers were normalized at 3 months and echocardiographic alterations were resolved in all patients at 6 months, remaining normal. MIS-C, despite being a serious disease, presents a fast resolution of clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic alterations.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
