(沒特別寫的通常代表COVID19病例)
The Ministry of Health (MOH) has been notified of four cases of paediatric
Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome-COVID (MIS-C) to date. These four cases
were amongst the over 8,000 paediatric COVID-19 cases in Singapore since the
start of the pandemic, and considered rare. Of these four cases, one is in
the Children’s Intensive Care Unit (CICU), one is in a General Ward, and two
have been discharged.
新加坡回報了4例兒童MIS-C，
自疫情開始以來新加坡回報了約8000個兒童病例，MIS-C發生率低
4位病例的狀況是
CICU(兒童加護病房)1名、住院1名、2名出院
2. The four cases are:
a. A three-year-old boy admitted to the National University Hospital (NUH)
CICU on 16 October 2021. He had repeatedly tested PCR-negative, but his
serology test results indicated that he likely had a COVID-19 infection two
to six weeks prior to the development of MIS-C. He has since recovered and
was discharged on 23 October.
b. An eight-year-old boy admitted to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital’s
(KKH) CICU on 27 October 2021. He had been previously diagnosed with COVID-19
infection on 30 September. He has since recovered and was discharged on 1
November.
c. A four-year-old boy admitted to KKH CICU on 1 November 2021. As of 6
November, the boy remains in the CICU and his breathing is supported by
mechanical ventilation. He had previously tested positive for COVID-19
infection on 24 September. The KKH paediatric teams are actively managing his
care.
d. A two-month-old female infant admitted to KKH General Ward on 3 November
2021. She was previously admitted to KKH for COVID-19 infection on 12
October, and discharged on 19 October. The patient’s condition remains
stable, with no oxygen requirements.

3. In May 2020, an international review from 26 countries reported a MIS-C
incidence of 0.14% (14 in 10,000) among all children with COVID-19 infection.
4. MIS-C is similar in presentation to Kawasaki Disease (KD) which has been
linked to various virus or bacterial infections, and occurs in 150 to 200
children a year in Singapore. Symptoms of MIS-C include persistent fever
above 38.5°C for three days or more, with difficulty breathing, headache,
neck swelling, rash, swollen hands and feet, conjunctivitis, diarrhoea, or
abdominal pain.
5. As MIS-C is linked to previous COVID-19 infection, measures such as mask
wearing, hand hygiene, and safe distancing measures remain important to
reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 infection.
