2/ #Multisystem #inflammatory #syndrome of children (MIS-C) is characterized by a massive #inflammation about 4 weeks post benign #COVID19 upon infection by #SARSCoV2, with life-threatening cardio-vascular manifestations (nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…; link.springer.com/article/10.100

SpringerLinkDistinctive Features of Kawasaki Disease Following SARS-CoV-2 Infection: a Controlled Study in Paris, France - Journal of Clinical ImmunologyBackground An outbreak of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, including Kawasaki disease (KD), emerged during COVID-19 pandemic. We explored whether Kawasaki-like disease (KD), when associated with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, has specific characteristics. Methods We included children and adolescents with KD criteria admitted in the department of general pediatrics of a university hospital in Paris, France, between January 1, 2018, and May 26, 2020. The incidence of KD was compared between the outbreak and a pre-outbreak control period (January 1, 2018, to April 25). Characteristics of patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 testing (KD-SARS-CoV-2) were compared to those of the pre-outbreak period (classic KD). Results A total of 30 and 59 children with KD were admitted during the outbreak and pre-outbreak periods, respectively (incidence ratio 13.2 [8.3–21.0]). During the outbreak, 23/30 (77%) children were diagnosed as KD-SARS-CoV-2. When compared with patients with classic KD, those with KD-SARS-CoV-2 were more frequently of sub-Saharan African ancestry (OR 4.4 [1.6–12.6]) and older (median 8.2 vs. 4.0 years, p < 0.001), had more often initial gastrointestinal (OR 84 [4.9–1456]) and neurological (OR 7.3 [1.9–27.7] manifestations, and shock syndrome (OR 13.7 [4.2–45.1]). They had significantly higher CRP and ferritin levels. Noticeably, they had more frequently myocarditis (OR 387 [38–3933]). Conclusions Children and adolescents with KD-SARS-CoV-2 have specific features when compared with those with classic KD. These findings should raise awareness and facilitate the study of their pathogenesis.
