Objectives: Multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a post-viral inflammatory vasculopathy of children and adolescents following Covid-19 infection. Since the incidence of SARS-CoVinfections has been increasing in Germany since October 2020, we observe an increasing number of children presenting with MIS-C. Design: We present detailed clinical characteristics of a cohort of nine children with MIS-C admitted to a tertiary PICU at the University Hospital of Cologne between March 2020 and February 2021. Results: The clinical sings and symptoms are largely in line with recent reports. All but one patient had positive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Latency form infection to MIS-C was 4-6 weeks. Two children presented with unusual findings: A girl had encephalomyelitis and a boy developed MIS-C side to side with acute leukemia. Conclusion: MIS-C has been increasing in Germany paralell to SARS-CoV-2 infections. Rarely, unuasual findings may be associated with MIS-C. (c) 2021 The Author(s).
