    Abstract Background: As the number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases increases globally, more cases of a rare COVID-19-associated disease process are being identified in the pediatric population. This syndrome is referred to as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Clinical manifestations of the syndrome vary and include one or a combination of the following: vasodilatory shock, cardiogenic shock, Kawasaki-like disease, cytokine storming, coronary artery dilatation, and aneurysms.
    Case report: This case report describes the presentation, findings, workup, and treatment for a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with MIS-C. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: It is important to recognize MIS-C, as it shares many of the same features as other disease processes, for example, Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome, but has different complications if left untreated.

    Abstract Introduction: In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of chronic ocular itch in an outpatient ophthalmology and optometry clinic.
    Methods: Four hundred patients from an outpatient ophthalmology and optometry clinic were enrolled. The presence and characteristics of chronic ocular itch were assessed by a questionnaire. Data regarding ophthalmologic, dermatologic, and systemic conditions as well as current medications were extracted from medical records.
    Results: Chronic ocular itch was present in 118 (29.5%) of 400 participants. Chronic ocular pruritus was significantly more prevalent in females [
    Discussion: Chronic ocular itch is common and may be related to ophthalmologic or dermatologic pathologies. The present findings highlight the importance of identifying and managing this uncomfortable symptom that may negatively impact the quality of life and sleep of affected patients.
