One study was retrieved from a pre-print server. For those with available data, 34\/47 (78.7%) mothers were infected in the third trimester. Of the 199 mothers (two with twin pregnancies), 183 (92.0%) were from India. The median age of neonates at presentation was 2.0 days (interquartile range 1.0\u20139.5). Over two-thirds (144\/201, 71.6%) presented with respiratory distress, while 112 (55.7%) had cardiac involvement, such as ventricular dysfunctions, involvement of coronary arteries, and atrioventricular blocks. Arrhythmias and thrombosis were reported in 15\/201 (7.5%) and 2\/201 (3.0%) neonates, respectively. All neonates, except one, required critical care; 64\/160 (40.0%) required inotropic support and 105\/187 (56.1%) required respiratory support, of whom 59\/105 (56.2%) were specified to require intubation. The mortality rate was 5.0% (10\/201).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion\/Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>MIS-N should be considered in ill neonates presenting with involvement of
