Description: 12.5 cc of blood (2.5 teaspoons) (for RNA studies, plasma protein studies, serum antibody measurement, and in vitro studies of PBMC and cultured HUVECs) will be drawn when phlebotomy is performed for routine clinical care from MIS-C. This will be at 3 timepoints: admission (pre-treatment), after treatment but before discharge, at the clinic visit between 1 to 6 weeks after discharge. Whole blood RNA will be collected in PAXgene tubes.

Rectal swab or stool for SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing in the Burns Lab at UCSD will be collected only once at the time of admission.

For sites able/willing to participate in live cell collection, heparinized blood (green top tubes) for PBMC and neutrophil studies.
