Was looking forward to this report!
We heard about MIS-C for the first time after the first peaks of SARS-CoV-2, but - apparently - MIS-C isn't that 'novel' at all!
Thrilled to share our paper in @NEJM on pre-COVID and SARS-CoV-2 negative MIS-C. This condition predates the pandemic but was incredibly rare and often misdiagnosed as Kawasaki Disease Shock Syndrome or Toxic Shock Syndrome without identified bacteria nej.md/49SwOTT 🧵

Children with chronic conditions have disease-associated specificities that may differentiate them from healthy populations.
We investigated SARS-CoV-2 exposure among children followed at @uzgent, a tertiary hospital, and showed altered seropositivity compared to the community.
