Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a severe clinical condition associated with the SARS-CoV-2 infection characterized by an increased inflammatory response. MIS-C shares common features with other pediatric inflammatory and infectious conditions including bacterial infections. Salmonella infections should be kept in mind as a causative agent of bacterial gastroenteritis in the differential diagnosis of patients with suspected MIS-C to avoid misdiagnosis. In this report, a case series of pediatric patients with a final diagnosis of salmonellosis were presented, although a primarily diagnosis of MIS-C at admission was considered due to symptoms and findings together with strong laboratory or epidemiological evidence for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Çocuklarda Multisistem İnflamatuar Sendrom (MIS-C), artmış inflamatuar yanıtla karakterize, SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili ciddi bir klinik durumdur. MIS-C, bakteriyel enfeksiyonlar dahil olmak üzere diğer pediatrik inflamatuar ve enfeksiyöz durumlarla ortak özellikler taşır. Yanlış tanıdan kaçınmak için MIS-C şüphesi olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda bakteriyel gastroenterit etkeni olarak Salmonella enfeksiyonları akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu raporda, SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu için güçlü laboratuvar veya epidemiyolojik kanıtlarla birlikte semptomları ve bulguları nedeniyle başvuru sırasında öncelikle MIS-C tanısı düşünülmesine rağmen, kesin salmonelloz teşhisi konan pediatrik hastalardan oluşan bir vaka serisi sunulmuştur.
