Children present with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), a post-infectious syndrome presenting a few weeks following an acute SARS CoV-2 infection. A few case reports of neonates presenting with a similar syndrome following maternal infection have been reported. This article summarizes the current literature and outlines the controversies surrounding the diagnosis and management of MIS-C in neonates (MIS-N).
