Dear Colleagues:

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), also known as PMIS, is a recent COVID 19 associated constellation of symptoms that has been predominant in the East Coast and Europe.  This rare syndrome has been diagnosed in approximately 200 children in NYS, mostly in the NYC area, and has been characterized by high fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, rashes, lymphadenopathy, mucosal changes, cardiovascular findings, and other symptoms.  Most children hospitalized with these symptoms are showing positive antibody testing for COVID 19.   

The NYS AAP - Chapters 2 & 3 are seeking your input to enable us to plan programs/resources for our members on this topic.

Please help us by answering this survey by June 2nd.  It should take about 5 minutes to complete.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Shetal Shah, MD, FAAP, President, NYS AAP - Chapter 2
Lisa Handwerker, MD, FAAP, President, NYS AAP - Chapter 3
