Inflammatory responses in SARS-CoV-2 associated Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome and Kawasaki Disease in children: An observational study.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a severe inflammatory disease in children related to SARS-CoV-2 with multisystem involvement including marked cardiac dysfunction and clinical symptoms that can resemble Kawasaki Disease (KD). We hypothesized that MIS-C and KD might have commonalities as well as unique inflammatory responses and studied these responses in both diseases. In total, fourteen children with MIS-C (n=8) and KD (n=6) were included in the period of March-June 2020.

Evaluation of blood pressure trajectories and outcome in critically ill children with initial hypertension on admission to Paediatric Intensive Care.

Objective: Hypertension on paediatric intensive care (PICU) is associated with adverse outcomes. Management is complex; hypertension often represents a physiological adaptive response and exposure to hypertension could lead to altered pressure-flow autoregulation. International treatment consensus is to avoid rapid blood pressure (BP) reduction.
