A case of severe rhabdomyolysis associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome related to COVID-19 (MIS-C) is presented in a one-year 10-month-old boy who presented digestive symptoms, myalgia, weakness, fever, and dark urine. COVID-19 IgM (-) IgG (+) serological test, COVID-19 PCR negative. Initial creatine kinase (CK) presented non-dosable values, with the highest reported level being 517,600 U/L. The creatinine value remained normal throughout the hospitalization. He received human immunoglobulin 2 g/Kg, Methylprednisolone 10 mg/Kg/d, and acetylsalicylic acid to manage MIS-C. Aggressive hydration and urine alkalinization were provided to manage rhabdomyolysis. Positive evolution with discharge after ten days. Few reported cases of rhabdomyolysis are associated with MIS-C and none with such high CK values. Based on the possible complications, performing CK dosing in all patients wit...

Objective: To assess the association between fluid overload (FO) and other risk factors in the mortality of patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Patients and Method: A historical cohort study was conducted. Pediatric patients older than one month and younger than 18 years who were hospitalized in the PICU for more than 48 hours during 2016 were included. Demographic and clinical data were recorded. FO was calculated as [Sum of daily (fluid in − fluid out)/weight at ICU admission] × 100. Poisson regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with mortality. Results: 171 patients were included. The median age was 31 months (RIQ 8; 84). Mortality was 8.18%. FO in the surviving population was 7% and 11.5% in the deceased patients (p < 0.05). The adjusted analysis identified FO as a major risk factor for mortality with a Relative Risk 1.32 (1.24...

Objective: To determine the association between glycemia values and mortality in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The study: Retrospective cohort study in pediatric patients between 1 month and 18 years; hospitalized in the PICU for more than 48 hours. Findings: 184 patients were included. The median age was 33.5 months; mortality was 11.54%. The adjusted analysis showed that maximum glucose in 24 hours and PIM2 scale value could be presented as risk factors for mortality, unlike sex, age, and Glasgow scale value, which were presented as protective factors. Conclusion: In the series evaluated, an association was found between the value of maximum glucose in the first 24 hours and mortality in the PICU. Prospective studies are needed to assess this association.
