Article: Paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporarily associated with SARS- CoV-2 (PIMS-TS): providing resuscitative care

Little is known about severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.   Children remain a small sample of the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the UK but the reasons for this are relatively unknown. However a small number have been identified as developing a significant inflammatory response, referred to as paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS-TS) which involves persistent fever and organ dysfunction.  This article presents a case study to explore the resuscitative care provided to a 10 year old with suspected PIMS-TS.
