Document: COVID-19 infection can cause inflammatory reactions that could involve several organs. In the pediatric population, Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) has been reported as one of the consequences of COVID-19. We report a unique pediatric COVID-19 patient with MIS-C, associated with paralysis of the extremities. MRI showed abnormal signal in the cervical spinal cord compatible with transverse myelitis. Methylprednisolone and IVIG were administered, without significant symptom improvement. As a next step, Infliximab was tried for her, and she responded remarkably well to this treatment. Infliximab may be considered as a treatment option in COVID-19 patients with transverse myelitis.
