Although COVID 19 infections in children are generally mild and non-fatal, there is increasing recognition of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19, leading to severe illness and long-term sequelae. Even though there is some evidence that the MIS-C is a post-viral immunological reaction to COVID-19, understanding of the immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2 remains unclear.Various local and international guidelines are being widely practiced in the diagnosis and management of patients with MIS-C. A case report of a young child who was diagnosed and managed as MIS-C is discussed here. The diagnostic challenges with the available case definitions and currently accepted treatment options are elaborated herein.

This article presents a clinical case of peripartum cardiomyopathy in a 21-year-oldpatient with a gestational age of 32 weeks, accompanied by clinical manifestationsof heart failure and Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome. The patient underwentlaboratory and instrumental examinations, including echocardiography and Holtermonitoring. Thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy was ruled out in the process of differentialdiagnosis. The final diagnosis and management of the patient were determinedafter consultation with the State Institution "Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics andGynecology, named after Academician O.M. Lukyanova, of the National Academy ofMedical Sciences of Ukraine". Medical treatment significantly improved the patient'scondition and vaginal delivery went without complications. Manifestations of theperipartum cardiomyopathy gradually regressed and completely disappeared 6 monthsafter delivery.This case indicates the importance of timely diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathyfor a positive prognosis of patients.
