The article presents a study which examined the viral sequences of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Also cited are the manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 as hyperinflammation and severe interstitial pneumonia in adults, and the identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the study.
