We report a pair of siblings who developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in close temporal proximity after recent exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Both siblings presented with Kawasaki disease-like features and haemodynamic instability, with the onset of symptoms within 6 days of each other. Remarkably, one of the siblings was the elder of a pair of monozygotic twins. The younger monozygotic twin, however, did not develop MIS-C.

The study sought to assess the clinical utility of complete blood count-derived composite scores, suggesting their potential as markers of inflammation and disease severity in Kawasaki disease (KD) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with Kawasaki-like features. This retrospective study analyzed data from 71 KD and 73 MIS-C patients and 70 healthy controls. The KD group showed a higher rate of coronary involvement (26.

Importance: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is an uncommon but severe hyperinflammatory illness that occurs 2 to 6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Presentation overlaps with other conditions, and risk factors for severity differ by patient. Characterizing patterns of MIS-C presentation can guide efforts to reduce misclassification, categorize phenotypes, and identify patients at risk for severe outcomes.

The immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection in children are still under investigation. While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is usually mild in the paediatric population, some children develop severe clinical manifestations or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) after infection. MIS-C, typically emerging 2-6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 exposure, is characterized by a hyperinflammatory response affecting multiple organs.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with multisystemic involvement and unclear etiology. Although SLE could be linked to multiple neuropsychiatric manifestations, the co-occurrence of anorexia nervosa was only described through a few case reports that mainly affected children and adolescents.
Case Presentation: a 40-year-old Filipina woman presented to hospital with a 3-day history of agitation, anorexia and auditory hallucinations.
