Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome - Penn State Health Children’s Hospital

Physicians are keeping an eye on a new syndrome that has emerged in children and is suspected to be associated with COVID-19.

The good news: PMIS is very treatable and most patients recover. Learn more from Dr. Michael Beck, a pediatrician at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital.
