Abstract

We describe characteristics, clinical features and outcomes of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons compared with non-Hispanic white persons. AI/AN patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children were younger, more often obese, and from areas of higher social vulnerability. A greater proportion of AI/AN patients had severe respiratory involvement and shock.
