General Information
Thank you, Dr. Goh, for the kind introduction. I would also like to thank NIH and
CRC for inviting me to share information on Kawasaki Disease and multisystem
inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) which can probably be associated
with COVID-19.
So, I would give a brief overview of what is Kawasaki disease, and to share some
literature on MIS-C. As mentioned earlier by Dr. Goh, we do not see any Kawasaki
Disease-like Illness in our COVID-19 children. We will go through the possible
aetiology of Kawasaki Disease, pathophysiology, how do we diagnose Kawasaki
Disease and the treatments during acute phase. Then, I would review the literature
from MIS-C and how should we go from here.
