"MUSC’s Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital has seen 14 children with MIS-C within the last year. The hospital is the first in the nation to try a new treatment for those with severe cases. The treatment is called remestemcel-L, currently in clinical trials as part of an expanded access program. The therapy uses mesenchymal stromal cells, which is made in the bone marrow of healthy people.

So far, two patients have received the new treatment including four-year-old KJ Griffin. After visiting several healthcare providers for symptoms, the boy’s mother ended up taking him to MUSC in July where he ultimately received a diagnosis."
