Texas Case Counts 
The following data is based on confirmed cases of MIS-C that have been reported to DSHS. Data is updated every month. All data is preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Visit CDC’s website for a summary of health department-reported cases of MIS-C in the United States.
See our Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) page for general information about the condition and case reporting in Texas.
Note: The increase in MIS-C cases from the last data update reflects a backlog of previously unreported cases from 2020 and 2021. MIS-C cases are typically reported through voluntary reporting, and delayed or incomplete reporting may be due to resource constraints at healthcare facilities and local health entities. DSHS carefully reviews all MIS-C data reported to the department to confirm each patient meets CDC case definition.
