Abstract: Key Clinical Message: COVID may manifest multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) which mimics Kawasaki disease (KD). Differentiating KD and MIS-C is difficult. Immunomodulatory treatment should be initiated promptly without accurate diagnosis. Abstract: A febrile Ukrainian infant developed giant aneurysms in coronary arteries. Differentiating between Kawasaki disease and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children was difficult. In both illnesses, coronary aneurysm may develop unless treated promptly. Therefore, guidelines should synthesize these clinical entities so that treatment can be initiated before rigorous diagnosis.
