Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a postinfectious immune mediated complications seen in children and develop after 4-6 weeks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, however, it is rare in neonates. The index case was admitted at day 19 of life with complaints of fever, loose stools and rash. Baby was discharged after 1 weeks with diagnosis of Multisystem inflammatory syndrome with persistent neutropenia. We follow up the case at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months of life. Growth, neurodevelopment and hematological parameters were monitored over time. We are reporting this follow up of MIS-N with persistent neutropenia because it is very rare, organ specific manifestations, effect on growth & development is unknown and needs to be reported. Improvement in hematological parameters and markers of coagulopathy & systemic inflammation required months before they return to baseline. There are no long-term sequelae on growth and neurodevelopment.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal vascular changes by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 21 patients who were diagnosed with MIS-C and had a history of hospitalization, 20 pediatric outpatients with a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis, and 26 healthy children. All patients underwent a detailed ophthalmologic examination and OCTA.

IgG-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an under recognised multisystem inflammatory disorder that has several typical manifestations. Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD are well documented however do not feature in the definition or diagnosis of IgG4-RD according to a recent consensus statement. The most well recognised cardiac manifestation of IgG4-RD, pericardial disease, is outlined in this case report as the initial presenting pathology.

There is a new awareness of the widespread nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its connection to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This has catalyzed collaboration between cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to address the need for earlier identification of those with MASLD who are at increased risk for CVD. The overlap in the pathophysiologic processes and parallel prevalence of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD highlight the multisystem consequences of poor cardiovascular-liver-metabolic health.

Importance: There is growing understanding that Social Determinants of Health (SDH) impact on the outcomes of different pediatric conditions. We aimed to determine whether SDH affect the severity of MIS-C.
Design: Retrospective cohort study, 2021-2023.

Background: Little is known about the dermatologic manifestations of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in children and adolescents.
Objective: We sought to describe the demographic background, key clinical features, and the clinical consequences of developing rash manifestations in MIS-C patients at Texas Children's Hospital.
Methods: Descriptive retrospective cohort study of 290 hospitalized eligible patients between May 2020 and April 2022.
