The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and CDC have released a position statement that includes an updated case definition for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
In the statement, the CSTE and CDC recommended that all states and territories report cases meeting confirmed, probable or suspect criteria of the new case definition beginning Jan. 1, 2023, for cases with MIS-C illness onset on or after that date (MMWR Recomm Rep 2022;71[4]:1-14).
