Item Rationale of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange as Rescue Immunomodulatory Treatment for MIS-C With Multiorgan Failure(2021) Díaz, Franco; Cores, Camila; Atenas, Omar; Rodríguez, Nicolás; Bustos, Raúl; Cruces, PabloMultisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is an infrequent and poorly understood illness.

Immunomodulation is the empiric treatment because a dysregulated immune response is the primary pathophysiologic mechanism.
