Hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome (HIDS) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks with fever, abdominal pain, lymphadenopathy, aphthous stomatitis, and skin lesions. There are few reports on HIDS patients complicated with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS); however, to our knowledge, there is no case of HIDS with recurrent MAS attacks. We report two pediatric patients initially diagnosed as Kawasaki disease and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis presented with recurrent MAS episodes with prolonged fever, skin rash, hepatosplenomegaly, cervical lymphadenopathy, aphthous stomatitis, headache, pancytopenia, hyperferritinemia, and hypofibrinogenemia, finally diagnosed as HIDS with a documented homozygous MVK gene mutation.
