In May 2020, many countries that had an outbreak of the coronavirus started reporting an inflammatory syndrome in some children. This is now called multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C for short. Though this syndrome is rare, kids in Idaho have experienced what can be a serious medical condition.

Idaho Matters learns more about MIS-C from Dr. Kenny Bramwell and Dr. Derrick Duplaise from St. Luke's Childrens Hospital in Boise.
