Abstract

We describe the clinical presentation, laboratory findings and complications of severe paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (PIMS-TS), also known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children in a 16-year-old female diagnosed in June 2025. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis of PIMS-TS in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era to ensure timely and appropriate management.
