Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare post-infectious complication associated with COVID-19. This case report presents a detailed account of a paediatric patient diagnosed with MIS-C who developed dilated cardiomyopathy as a significant complication. This report aims to enhance our understanding of the rare potential cardiovascular implications of MIS-C and highlights the importance of prompt recognition and management.
