This prospective nationwide study in Croatia (March 1, 2020-December 31, 2021) embraced 121 children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Incidence rates, disease course and outcomes were similar to those reported from other European countries. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus Alpha strain appeared associated with a higher propensity to result in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children than the Delta strain but did not appear related to disease severity.
