| Summary: | Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a newly defined hyperinflammatory disease linked to antecedent coronavirus disease 2019. Patients with MIS-C present with various symptoms, and ocular findings such as mild bilateral conjunctivitis are relatively common. However, detailed descriptions of severe ocular reports associated with MIS-C are scarce in the current literature. Here we report a case of MIS-C in a Japanese boy, with severe eye manifestations in the form of anterior scleritis as the primary MIS-C symptom. Detailed ocular examinations by ophthalmologists may be key for clarifying the pathophysiology of MIS-C. |
