Stevens-Johnson syndrome and COVID-19 : a case report with suspected multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)

Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc..

Introduction and importance: Symptoms similar to diseases such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) were reported in pediatric coronavirus infections.

Case presentation: Here, we present a 4-year-old girl with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an earlier diagnosis of SJS, and a final diagnosis of MIS-C.

Clinical discussion: Unlike the negative PCR test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the positive serological test confirmed COVID-19.

Conclusion: The monitoring of this case indicated that higher coronavirus infection can delay immune reaction and cause symptoms similar to SJS.
