Specialists from the Department of Paediatrics and Infectious Diseases of the University Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Wroclaw are conducting extensive research on PIMS (Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome), a multi-system inflammatory syndrome that occurs in children after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Wrocław scientists, in cooperation with the Medical University of Warsaw and the University of Warsaw are implementing the MOIS-CoR (Multiorgan Inflammatory Syndrome COVID-19 Related) project. Its aim is to systematize knowledge about PIMS and develop guidelines for medical management of patients.
