Multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 from the pediatric emergency physician's point of view.

The emergency department pediatrician must recognize and treat it early using immunomodulatory strategies to reduce systemic injury. Further studies are needed to identify the disease pathogenesis and establish the most appropriate treatment.
