Inflammatory biomarkers in COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, Kawasaki disease, and macrophage activation syndrome: a cohort study

Jackeline J. Rodriguez-Smith et al.

Summary: Our findings demonstrate that MIS-C can be distinguished from Kawasaki disease primarily by elevated CXCL9 concentrations. Stratification of MIS-C patients by high or low CXCL9 concentrations suggests MAS-like pathophysiology in severe MIS-C cases, indicating new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment.

Review of Cardiac Involvement in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Summary: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection, is a severe inflammatory disease with common symptoms of persistent fever and cardiac manifestations. Treatment mainly aims at reversing the inflammatory response with immunomodulatory medications.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: An International Survey

Carles Bautista-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: An international survey on children diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 showed a wide clinical spectrum, including Kawasaki disease-like cases, life-threatening shock, and milder cases with mainly fever and inflammation. A shorter duration of symptoms before admission was associated with a worse outcome.

Major alterations in the mononuclear phagocyte landscape associated with COVID-19 severity

Egle Kvedaraite et al.

Summary: This study found that COVID-19 patients experience a redistribution of monocyte subsets towards intermediate monocytes and a general decrease in circulating dendritic cells. Severe disease is associated with the appearance of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like cells and a higher frequency of pre-DC2. The phenotypic alterations in mononuclear phagocytes are cell-lineage-specific and linked to the response against SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 severity.

Association of Intravenous Immunoglobulins Plus Methylprednisolone vs Immunoglobulins Alone With Course of Fever in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Naim Ouldali et al.

Summary: Among children with MIS-C, treatment with IVIG and methylprednisolone compared to IVIG alone was associated with a more favorable fever course, reduced risk of needing second-line therapy, hemodynamic support, acute left ventricular dysfunction after initial therapy, and shorter stay in the pediatric intensive care unit. The study interpretation is limited by its observational design.

Deep immune profiling of MIS-C demonstrates marked but transient immune activation compared to adult and pediatric COVID-19

Laura A. Vella et al.

Summary: Pediatric COVID-19 following SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is generally less severe than in adults, but the subset of children with MIS-C exhibit immune features similar to severely ill adults and vascular complications. MIS-C patients show robust activation of T cells and vascular patrolling cells, correlating with the use of vasoactive medication. Unlike pediatric COVID-19 patients with ARDS, MIS-C patients display clinical improvement over time along with decreasing immune activation.

Immune dysregulation and autoreactivity correlate with disease severity in SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Anjali Ramaswamy et al.

Summary: Through various analyses, specific biological features were identified in MIS-C patients, including myeloid dysfunction, elevated cytotoxicity gene expression in NK and CD8(+) T cells, and autoimmune characteristics, which could potentially improve the diagnosis and prediction of disease severity in MIS-C.

Similarities and differences between the immunopathogenesis of COVID-19-related pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome and Kawasaki disease

Ana Esteve-Sole et al.

Summary: Research findings suggest that circulating cytokines are significantly elevated in patients with MIS-C and KD, with IFN-gamma-induced response markers and inflammatory monocyte activation markers being the main triggers of inflammation. A subgroup of MIS-C patients (MIS-C-plus) showed differentiation from other MIS-C patients in certain cytokines, indicating incipient signs of macrophage activation syndrome.

Aaron J. Wilk et al.

Summary: The study revealed immune system dysfunctions in COVID-19 patients at different disease severity stages, particularly in severe and fatal cases. It also found a lack of pro-inflammatory cytokine production in severe cases, potentially due to chromatin accessibility changes as a mechanism.

Downregulation of exhausted cytotoxic T cells in gene expression networks of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Noam D. Beckmann et al.

Summary: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) presents symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease and affects individuals under 21 years of age. RNA sequencing revealed signatures related to natural killer cell activation and CD8+ T cell exhaustion in the blood of MIS-C patients, showing similarities with Kawasaki disease.

Polyclonal expansion of TCR Vβ 21.3+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is a hallmark of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Marion Moreews et al.

Summary: MIS-C is characterized by increased serum inflammatory cytokines and a specific expansion of activated T cells expressing the V.21.3 T cell receptor beta chain variable region, not directed against SARS-CoV-2 antigenic peptides, which differentiates it from KD, TSS, and acute COVID-19. The T cell repertoire returns to baseline soon after MIS-C resolution.

HLA class I-associated expansion of TRBV11-2 T cells in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Rebecca A. Porritt et al.

Summary: Our study found a significant expansion of TCR beta variable gene 11-2 (TRBV11-2) in MIS-C patients, with extensive junctional diversity observed in the expanded TRBV11-2 clones. This expansion was correlated with the severity of MIS-C and serum cytokine levels, suggesting a novel mechanism of T cell expansion independent of CDR3. Additionally, in silico modeling indicated a potential interaction between the V beta chain encoded by TRBV11-2 and the superantigen-like motif of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, possibly mediating T cell expansion and activation in MIS-C patients.

An autopsy study of the spectrum of severe COVID-19 in children: From SARS to different phenotypes of MIS-C

Amaro Nunes Duarte-Neto et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple organs in pediatric patients, leading to different clinical manifestations. Severe COVID-19 in children can present as primarily pulmonary disease or as a multisystem inflammatory syndrome involving various organs. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in different tissues suggests a direct effect on the pathogenesis of the disease.
