Pediheart Podcast #125: SARS CoV2 Infection and MIS-C - Early US Reports

This week we have a very topical episode on the recently identified multi system inflammatory syndrome in children associated with SARS-CoV2 infection (MIS-C). What defines this syndrome and how does it differ from other inflammatory disorders such as toxic shock syndrome or Kawasaki disease? We speak with 2 world authorities - Associate Professor of Pediatrics - Albert Einstein - Dr. Nadine Choueiter as well as Commissioner of Health for NY State - Dr. Howard Zucker. A rare opportunity to speak with a clinician 'on the ground' as well as get a public health perspective from Dr. Zucker who is also a pediatric cardiologist and anesthesiologist. One of the most interesting episodes of the series. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2021756 & doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2021680
