The current investigation was carried out because of the realization that although though the effects of COVID-19 in children are milder in comparison to those in adults, severe symptoms can still be seen in children. This realization led to the decision to carry out the study. Multiple nations have reported cases of children exhibiting symptoms of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome that has been linked to COVID-19. The primary purpose of this investigation was to conduct a literature search focusing on this syndrome and the effects it has on children. According to the findings of this work, a severe acute infection with COVID-19 can put children at risk for developing a multisystem inflammatory syndrome that can be fatal. Several organs, including the kidneys and lungs, are susceptible to damage from this. The treatment of this syndrome was another topic of conversation. When considered together, a severe acute infection with COVID-19 or an infection with MIS-C can result in illnesses that have the potential to be fatal in children. This is especially true when the infections are combined.
